"A modern maternity session isn’t about props or trends—it’s about honoring your body, your journey, and your style. Here’s what sets these sessions apart—and what you can expect when booking yours at Austin Newborn Photography."


Pregnancy is a powerful, beautiful journey—and our modern maternity studio sessions are designed to reflect exactly that. These sessions are expertly lit, meticulously posed, and styled to feel timeless, giving you elegant portraits that celebrate this once-in-a-lifetime moment.


Whether you love a clean, modern editorial look or dream of flowing gowns and soft drapes, our North Austin studio is the perfect space to create maternity portraits that feel both elevated and personal.

When Should I Schedule My Maternity Photos?


We recommend booking your session between 27–35 weeks—that sweet spot when your baby bump is beautifully defined and you're still feeling comfortable and confident in front of the camera.


But life doesn’t always stick to a schedule! We’ve photographed maternity sessions much earlier and much later—even just days before a due date. So whether you're a planner or decide last minute that you want to capture this chapter, we’ve got you covered.

Where Do These Sessions Take Place?


All modern maternity sessions take place at our North Austin studio, designed specifically for newborn and maternity photography. We offer weekday availability only for maternity portraits to allow for the quiet, relaxed experience every mama deserves.

What’s Included in a Studio Maternity Session?


Our studio is fully stocked with an extensive maternity wardrobe, available exclusively to studio clients. We provide designer gowns, soft fabrics, and accessories that work for every style—whether you want something bold and glamorous or classic and understated.


Looking for that extra polish? Our Premier Maternity Sessions include professional hair and makeup by our in-studio artist, Ledda. (Not all sessions include hair and makeup, but it can be added for $200.)
