Open Fields Maternity
Dawne in Wilmington
Dawne had a vision of a maternity session that incorporated her whole family. We focused capturing the love and excitement around their new addition! After wardrobe discussions, Dawne decided on a laid-back, but stylish approach.

Studio Maternity
Jazmyn In Delaware City
I was so excited to capture Jazmyn's maternity photos for her third baby! She wanted to be sure to incorporate the rest of her family to capture the joy of a new little one, while also honoring her baby angel. She wore three outfits from the Client Closet, and absolutely rocked each one of them!

Pond Side Maternity
Emily in Haverford
Emily is awaiting their first baby, and wanted to document a softer, more mature side to their relationship. They wanted a session near a pond with wild grasses galore.

There is nothing quite like pregnancy--the beauty, the strength, the growth, all are present in ways that don't exist otherwise--you are growing a whole person, after all! As mamas and mamas-to-be, we spend our days consumed with tasks that are ultimately for someone else's well-being. We work, cook, clean, prep, organize--the list goes on and on--but how often do we take time to celebrate ourselves? As your Philadelphia maternity photographer, I am dedicated to making sure that you look and feel your best, and that you can take this time together to truly celebrate and appreciate everything that you do each day.
You do so much for everyone else.
These photos are for you.
Let's chat! I want to hear about you and your family, your pregnancy, your vision for your session, and anything else you think is important! As your photographer, I want to be sure that we are a good fit, and that your session isn't cookie cutter, but rather planned to fit your needs, vision, style, and personality.
Shoot me an email and let's get chatting!
1. Say Hello
2. Preparing for your Session
Once we get you on the calendar, it's time to start planning your maternity session (yay!)! I will send you a questionnaire so that I can get to know you and your vision for your session, along with a curated location guide to help you in selecting the perfect backdrop for your session--beach, field, forest, city, it's all covered and broken into sections to make selection a breeze.
After choosing your location, we will start planning your wardrobe. Through a style guide, a virtual style tool, and direct help from me, we will be able to narrow down the colors, styles, and fits that will help you look and feel your best.
Throughout the entire process, I am here as your guide. Feel free to reach out to me at any point with whatever questions you have, and I will be sure to help! My goal throughout your maternity photo experience, is to take the stress of planning off of your plate, so that you can truly enjoy this time celebrating your body and growing little one.
3. ask me Anything
Hooray! Your session date has arrived! We will meet at the selected location and work our way around with ease. I will guide you with prompts and discussions to help you feel at ease, so that we can capture the beauty and essence of your strength in motherhood.
4. Your Session
You will receive your private online gallery within 2-3 weeks from your session date. After laughing and crying tears of joy with your family about the beautiful moments we captured, you will select your final digital images and order heirloom artwork for your walls using the complimentary artwork credit included in your chosen collection toward your artwork.

I simply cannot express how wonderful it was to work with Kristi. She was an absolute rockstar! We had a family photo session that included six adults, a 3 year old, and a 9 month old, and she handled it with ease-- getting both posed and candid shots, moving us from location to location, and keeping the attention of distracted child and adult alike to create perfectly composed images that would make any mantle SHINE.
I have worked with many photographers, both as a professional classical musician as well as a Maître D' in the wedding industry, and I can honestly say that Kristi was one of the best I've had the pleasure of working with. I highly recommend her!

“Kristi did an absolutely amazing job taking pictures of my family. I have two little boys - 3 1/2 and almost 2 - who are full of energy and snotty noses. She amazed me with her patience and fun ideas for the boys....they had a blast taking pictures with her. Her pictures left me speechless and I know I will treasure these pictures for a lifetime. I HIGHLY recommend Kristi!!”

We absolutely LOVE the photos that Kristi had produced for us! I am so blown away by the quality, the beautiful compositions and even the little detail shots that we didn’t even realize she had taken. She has an exceptional ability to make the subjects of her photographs (us!) feel and look comfortable and natural. We had a 17 month old who was starting to get cranky during part of the shoot, she knew just the right thing to do and played her favorite song to get her back into the right mood. You can tell that Kristi has done her preparation and taken on board all the details/ information that we provided her.

Most recently I sat with Kristi for a Mommy and Me session. Kristi helped with styling, had a fantastic location, she did it all. I just had to show up and follow her lead! Truly a dream for a busy mom - Thank you, Kristi!!!
If you are like me and always the one taking photos of your littles, you need to do this for yourself! I'm so glad that we did!

Kristi was an amazing photographer! The whole experience with her was so easy, comfortable and fun! I worked with her for an anniversary shoot with my husband and this was only my second ever time getting professional photos taken. From the beginning to the end of the process Kristi was super responsive and made us feel completely at ease. The photos also came out beautiful!
