Celebrate Motherhood
Minneapolis maternity photographer
The maternity session I’ll craft for you is focused on making you feel cared for, beautiful, empowered. Maybe that’s an outdoor session just for you and your bump. Or maybe it looks like a laid back session at home with your big kid, partner, and pups. It could even be the start of your Baby Plan, a series of four photo sessions spread out over a year.
Take a peek at how Twin Cities moms like you have celebrated this fleeting season of life, then let’s schedule your Minneapolis maternity session!
It’s also a moment where maaaaaybe you’d wish for a bit less waddling but I need you to know, you’re stunning

Learn more about The Baby Plan, then let’s talk! →
Often, we start with maternity, but the four sessions are up to you! Some common combos for The Baby Plan sessions include maternity, newborn, six-month milestone, and one year, but it’s tailored to what you want!
The Baby Plan includes four unique photo sessions spread out over the first year(ish) of life and a complimentary heirloom album.
It’s hard to imagine now, but pretty soon that sweet babe will be in your arms and slowly expanding their world. A lot — seriously, a lot — changes in the first year. Which is why I offer The Baby Plan to help you schedule milestone photos now, not when you’re running on two hours of sleep and coffee.
Let’s plan for you photos too
You’ve spent months planning for this baby

Erik
She balances capturing the moments that are important to us, with adding creative ideas and inspiration for other photos. She creates a fun and natural environment and each session is a total joy. If you are looking for a maternity/newborn photographer, stop looking and choose Kate! You won’t be disappointed.”
“I purchased Kate’s ‘Baby Plan’ (four sessions from maternity to 1-year old) for my wife as a Christmas gift. We are through two sessions and Kate has been absolutely incredible.
Before your photo session, you’ll have access to my Personalized Styling Service. After filling out a quick questionnaire about your personal style and favorite color combos, you’ll be matched with coordinated outfit ideas for your whole family. Use the service for inspiration to shop your own closet, or use the purchase links directly from the styling program to buy your outfits. The choice is yours!
Either way, I love this styling service for taking the pressure off you so you can simply enjoy your session.
Styling Your Session
Your Experience

After our session, I’ll get to work editing with a focus on natural, emotive, oh-so-flattering images. In about 2-3 weeks, you’ll receive your fully-edited gallery slideshow — I cannot wait for you to see your beauty. You’ll have 24 hours to choose which Collection works best for you, and then a full month to place print orders and download digitals. Each Collection comes with a varying number of digital images and a print credit to use in my online storefront. I am always here to guide you through the process, but my secure, online ordering system puts all the power in your hands.
The big reveal
It’s picture day! Aaaaaand you’re kinda nervous. I get it. But you can trust that I’ll come with gentle guidance, easy prompts, and a keen eye for helping you feel comfortable and beautiful. Plus, thanks to our prep, it’s not like hanging with a stranger, which is always a bonus, right?
Your session
Look, you’re growing a whole human, so I want to make this entire thing easy-peasy. You can count on me for a detailed Maternity Prep & Style Guide that walks you through the entire process along with tips for your session I’ve developed over my years of being a photographer (and a mom). My goal with the prep guide is to answer all your questions before you even have them :) You can also expect tailored location scouting and access to my Personalized Styling Service, which takes the guesswork out of choosing coordinated outfits for your photo session.

Kate knew exactly how to cue every photo to have them look incredibly professional yet still allow me to feel comfortable for each shot. It's not always easy to feel beautiful when you are so pregnant but I have never felt so full of beauty until that shoot and especially seeing the images afterwards.”
“She captured timeless photos that I will happily look back on for the years to come.
Mallery
I LOVE these pictures! To be honest, I didn’t feel very ‘glowing’ during this late-pregnancy phase, but my goodness, these pictures don't show any of that, it's like magic! I can't get over these, I'm so happy!”
“Oh my gosh — I am blown away!!
Michelle
Not only is she incredibly talented, but she is also very friendly and down to earth. Photo sessions aren’t fun for everyone (including partners) but Kate is patient and kind and has the ability to put everyone at ease.
Seeing my maternity images blew me away! I feel so beautiful and I am so glad we did a maternity session. I know I will treasure having these images (especially the ones of myself in this season of life) forever.”
“Kate is a phenomenal photographer!

The Pricing Guide
Digital is great. But there’s something truly special about holding a physical piece of your memories, of flipping the pages of an album and sharing that experience with others — maybe that’s your children, or someday even their children. That’s what I love about physical images — they grow more meaningful with time.
Each of my Collections comes with digitals and a print credit to shop my online storefront. You can expect a high-quality selection of matted and framed prints, luxe albums, and glass photo boxes to help you preserve your images. Trust me, your walls will love you for it.
Preserving these memories
