Pregnancy changes everything, and it passes faster than almost any other chapter of family life. A maternity session is the pause button: a few unhurried hours where you are styled, cared for, and photographed at your most radiant.
At our boutique studio in Calgary, every maternity experience includes professional hair and makeup, full access to our curated gown and fabric wardrobe, and Amanda's team with 15+ years of experience posing and lighting expecting mothers. Nothing is rushed, and nothing is left to chance.
Whether you picture soft studio light or a golden-hour session somewhere beautiful around the city, we plan every detail together, then turn your favourite portraits into artwork for your walls, not another folder on your phone.

You will never wonder what happens next. From the first phone call to the moment your artwork is hung, every detail is planned, paced, and pampered.
Start with a discovery callWe start with a relaxed, no-pressure conversation about your vision. Studio or outdoor, gowns or casual, solo or with your partner. We'll reserve your session date around the sweet spot of 28–34 weeks and answer every question.
We plan your looks together from the studio's curated maternity gown and fabric collection, plus styling for your partner and children if they're joining. Colours are chosen to complement both your session and the walls your artwork will live on.
Arrive for professional hair and makeup, snacks on the table, and a warm, private studio. Amanda and her team direct every pose and lighting choice to flatter your changing body. You just breathe, bond with your bump, and enjoy being photographed.
One to two weeks later, you come back to the studio to select your favourite images. We design your albums and wall art together, in person, at true scale, with honest guidance and zero pressure.
Your finished heirlooms are hand-delivered, already framed, ready to hang, and installed by our team. All that's left is to stand back and admire this chapter of your story on the wall.
Your maternity portraits deserve better than a camera roll. Every collection is designed with you at your ordering appointment. Albums, framed wall art, and folio boxes handcrafted to be passed down.
Your favourite portrait transformed into a one-of-a-kind, hand-finished statement piece for your home.

We had a very good experience choosing Amanda to do our maternity and newborn photoshoots. She is an incredible professional and will offer you the best service for sure. For our maternity shoot she offered beautiful gowns for me to choose from and the pictures turned out perfect.
We did our maternity and newborn session with Amanda and she was simply amazing. Our maternity location was selected by her and the pictures came out so beautifully. I will go back to her for my toddler session or cake smash and would definitely recommend her to someone who is looking for perfection.
We have booked a few sessions with Amanda (maternity, newborn, and cake smash) and we always enjoyed visiting her lovely studio. Amanda is warm and friendly which made us feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera.
The best photographer in Calgary! I couldn't recommend it more!

Book during your first or second trimester to guarantee a spot. The ideal window to be photographed is between 28 and 34 weeks, when your bump is beautifully round but you're still comfortable. Our calendar fills quickly, especially for weekend outdoor sessions.
Yes, professional hair and makeup are included with every maternity experience. The studio carries a full collection of maternity gowns, wraps, and fabrics to choose from at your styling consultation, and we'll also advise on outfits for your partner and children.
Both are beautiful, and we'll decide together. The Beltline studio offers private, controlled light year-round (a blessing in a Calgary January); outdoor sessions around the city shine from late spring through early fall, with a weather-flex reschedule built in.
Absolutely, partner and family poses are part of nearly every maternity session we photograph. Just let us know who's coming so we can plan styling and pacing around little ones.
Every booking starts with a free discovery call where we walk you through the session fee and collection options, from digital files to albums and wall art. You decide exactly what you'd like at your viewing appointment, with zero pressure.
About a week after your sessions at your View & Order appointment, where we choose your favourite images and design your artwork together at the studio.
