You want to feel beautiful in a body that’s constantly changing.
You want portraits that show you how radiant you are—Even if you don’t always see it.
You’ve longed for this moment. You’ve waited. Prayed. Hoped.
And now, you want to savor it.
Maternity photography is about honoring your journey—from the first flutter to the final weeks.
This is for you if:
From styling to location, from posing to the final artwork—I guide you through it all.
As a Bay Area maternity photographer, I bring experience, care, and artistry to every session.
More than a photoshoot—
this is a guided experience
The White Glove
My role is to guide you with care—so you can relax into the moment, knowing I’ve thought of every detail. Clients often tell me how natural and intimate it all feels, and how seeing their relationships reflected as high quality art changes the way they see this season.
From the first conversation to the final artwork, I’m here to make sure you feel supported.
Experience
You won’t be left wondering what to do with your images. I’ll guide you through choosing the most meaningful ones and turning them into lasting artwork—pieces that remind you of your power, your tenderness, and your story.
More Than a Gallery
Whether we photograph in the studio, on the coast, or in your home, every choice is made to reflect the quiet strength and beauty of this season. You’ll be styled in pieces that feel like an extension of you—elevated, but still true.
Designed for Calm
We plan every detail together—from wardrobe and location to how you want to feel in these images. I bring the guidance; you bring your story. The result is a session that feels effortless and images that feel like you.

She photographed my newborn pictures. Laurel was so patient, kind, and made my baby and me so comfortable. I plan on using Laurel for all future family pictures and will recommend her to all friends looking for maternity, newborn, or family pictures. Thanks for making the moment so special for my daughter and I, Laurel!"

I was extremely nervous—questioning the outfits I chose and feeling unsure so close to my due date.
Laurel brought stunning options from her wardrobe collection and instantly made me feel comfortable, confident, and beautiful. She captured me, my husband, and our baby boy in my belly so tenderly. I will cherish these moments before we became a family of three forever.

but Laurel made me feel so at ease. Her thoughtful process, the beautiful Dublin studio, and her artistry brought it all together. We even incorporated my husband and our cat, and I nearly cried watching the slideshow. It was worth every cent.
