Before the diapers, the late nights, and the tiny toes, there’s this.
This beautiful, emotional in-between.
Let’s pause here and celebrate it.

Maternity adventure

Head out on an adventure somewhere scenic and unforgettable with photographer Carlos or Elizabeth. These sessions are filled with soft light, natural beauty, and moments that feel as magical as this stage of motherhood.

For families who want to keep things simple and relaxed, our family mini sessions are a perfect fit. They’re short, meaningful, and filled with connection. You’ll walk away with beautiful images that reflect your love and anticipation.

I see you, mama

As a mother of two, I know it might not always feel magical right now. Your shoes no longer fit and you can’t remember the last time you slept through the night without getting up to pee. But this season matters. And one day, you’ll want to look back and remember just how deeply you loved before you even held them in your arms.

You don’t need to have it all together.
Just show up as you are, growing that sweet baby and holding space for what’s next. I’ll take care of the rest.

  • The sweet spot for maternity sessions is around 30 to 34 weeks. Your belly has that gorgeous round shape, and you’re usually still feeling well enough to move comfortably.

  • Soft neutrals, flowy dresses, and cozy textures photograph beautifully and feel just as good as they look. Maxi dresses are always a favorite because they add movement and elegance, but if you’re more of a jeans-and-sweater kind of girl, we can make that magic too.

    Your partner should keep it simple and coordinated, and if your kiddos are tagging along, I’ll help guide their outfits as well with a family-friendly style guide.

  • You can expect to receive your photos 2 weeks after your session date, delivered via a personal online gallery.

  • You will be given personal printing rights to download and print images as you please. Elizabeth Hite Photography offers professional lab printing of images a la carte through your online gallery. Clients may choose to print from outside labs, but Elizabeth Hite Photography cannot guarantee the quality of prints from an outside lab.

  • That’s up to you! I respect your families privacy choices. You will be able to opt in or out of the model release on your client questionnaire after booking your session.
