Empowered and Glowing: Metro Detroit Maternity Boudoir
A Love Letter to Motherhood – Maternity Boudoir
Hello sweet mama. Congratulations on your pregnancy! I know this season isn’t always all sunshine and glowing skin—some days feel heavy, tender, and full of change. But even in the messiness, pregnancy is one of the most beautiful, sacred transitions we walk through as mothers.
Your body is changing (hello, curves!), your emotions are shifting, and your world is expanding in the most profound way. It can feel overwhelming—and yet, so deeply powerful.
This chapter deserves to be honored, not just for your family, but for you.
While many mamas choose a maternity session that centers the whole family, some crave something more personal—an intimate experience that captures the radiant, sensual, deeply feminine essence of pregnancy.
That’s where maternity boudoir comes in. It’s more than a photo session—it’s a reclamation, a celebration, and a reminder that you matter too.
I invite you to learn more, and if it feels aligned, let’s create something beautiful together.
Why Maternity Boudoir Is for Every Mama
Maternity boudoir isn’t about looking sexy—though you’re absolutely allowed to feel that way (and I promise, you’ll look it!). If I’m being honest, I didn’t feel sexy during either of my pregnancies—but my husband certainly thought I was glowing. The truth is, this kind of session isn’t about posing perfectly or putting on a show. It’s about honoring the incredible work your body is doing. It’s about capturing the strength, softness, and power that lives in you right now.
This season is fleeting. Your body is creating life—and that deserves to be remembered.
Maternity boudoir is for every woman, in every body. You don’t need to be a certain shape or size to deserve this experience. The sweet spot for a session is usually between 28–32 weeks, when your bump is beautifully visible but you’re still feeling fairly comfortable.
This is about you, mama—your connection to your ever-changing body, your journey through motherhood, and your right to feel seen, celebrated, and held.
What to Expect in a Session
My maternity boudoir sessions are just as relaxed and intentional as my maternity portraits—only with a little more softness, intimacy, and self-celebration woven in.
We’ll begin with a phone chat so I can get to know you, hear a bit about your journey, and start dreaming up your session together. Your session can take place in the comfort of your home, a cozy Airbnb, or a luxurious hotel setting—whatever feels most aligned with your vision.
You’ll receive a beautifully curated preparation guide and a thoughtful questionnaire to help me tailor every detail to you. Every session includes:
- Professional hair and makeup
- Personalized wardrobe guidance
- Natural, gentle posing with prompts that help you feel confident and comfortable
Above all, I offer a fully guided experience that’s designed to make you feel seen, held, and beautifully celebrated in this sacred season of motherhood.
What to Wear (and What You Don’t Have To!)
When it comes to wardrobe, I believe simple is powerful. Pieces that might not seem traditionally “sensual”—like a soft shawl, a draped cardigan, or even your partner’s oversized t-shirt—can be incredibly striking when paired with a bare belly.
There’s no need to go out and buy lingerie unless it feels fun to you. A couple of neutral bra and underwear sets are perfect as a base, and from there, we’ll play with layers and textures that highlight your bump and reflect your personal style.
I also have a curated collection of shawls, robes, and dresses available for you to borrow from Mother’s Closet—a client wardrobe thoughtfully designed with maternity boudoir in mind.
Together, we’ll create looks that feel comfortable, feminine, and entirely you.
The Power of Looking Back
There is so much power in a photograph—especially during the sacred season of pregnancy. Each child’s journey into this world is beautifully unique, and we only get to experience it once.
Maternity boudoir allows you to pause and preserve this moment—your body, your emotions, your strength—before it all changes. From bump to baby to toddler and beyond, time moves quickly. These images become a way to anchor yourself in the beauty of what was.
They’re a gift to your present self, a love letter to the woman you are right now, and a treasure for your future legacy to hold close.
Let’s Create Magic Together
If your heart is feeling pulled toward this experience—even just a little—I’d love to hear from you. Whether you have questions, want to talk through ideas, or feel ready to book your own maternity boudoir session, I’m here to walk with you every step of the way.
This is your moment, mama. Let’s honor it with intention, beauty, and heart.
Let’s connect to begin your journey.
You are worthy of being seen—just as you are.
