THE INVESTMENT

"We were on the fence about doing a maternity shoot, but we are SO glad we decided to book our shoot with Brittany! I felt absolutely beautiful and it was so amazing to have this special chapter in our lives documented. We will treasure these photos forever! Brittany was so helpful, from helping us choose our session location to helping us coordinate outfits! It was totally stress-free and ended up being a really fun experience!"
I CRIED WHEN WE GOT OUR GALLERY!
Brittany was a dream to work with! She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. I had a vision for what I wanted in my maternity photos and she executed perfectly. She created the most beautiful boho bedroom in her studio and it was exactly how I pictured it to be. She’s extremely creative and makes it fun! She made us feel so comfortable and I’m normally the most awkward person in front of a camera. But with Brittany, it felt natural. I am in love with the photos! 😍
WE HAD THE BEST EXPERIENCE!"
We had our maternity photo shoot with Brittany and our jaws hit the floor! The quality and color was exactly what we wanted! The location was absolutely perfect, our little toddler was in a great mood (Brittany knows how to get the kiddos to smile!) and I’m BEYOND happy with the results. We will cherish these photos forever and will be having Brittany take our special occasion photos for years to come. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!
WOW! I'M ABSOLUTELY SPEECHLESS.
I typically photograph expectant mothers between 30 - 33 weeks because I consider this time frame to be a sweet spot (your bump has popped out but you're usually not yet retaining water, swelling in your face, legs, ankles, etc.) Also, expectant mamas are typically feeling pretty good around this time. Of course there are exceptions to this, if you're expecting multiples or if this is not your first child, your bump may appear sooner and you may be ready to shoot a little earlier!
WHEN SHOULD I SCHEDULE MY SESSION?
Choosing to become a beloved member of the Holy City Babies Family means that you will have exclusive access to our Maternity Client Closet with custom Maternity Gowns, Body Suits, Tossing Fabrics, etc. for your session! Each portrait session is custom, meaning: if you have a specific look in mind (ex. pre-pregnancy jeans, un-bottoned with a bra or topless with arms strategically covering your chest, etc.) we can certainly talk about your ideas and plan for those during your pre-session phone consultation!
WHAT DO I WEAR?

That depends on your vision for your Maternity Photos! We can shoot a fine art, editorial maternity session at the studio OR we can shoot in downtown Charleston, on one of our beautiful beaches, at Charlestowne Landing, James Island County Park, Hampton Park, or Magnolia Gardens, etc. The possibilities are truly endless and I am totally open to shooting somewhere amazing that I might not know about yet!
what do we shoot?
I always recommend booking after about 20 weeks and as soon as possible during your pregnancy. I can only accept a maximum of 7 expectant parents for Maternity Portraits each month and because of this, my availability is limited. We typically want to shoot between 30 - 33 weeks. Booking your session early makes scheduling professional hair & makeup easier and allows time for production and shipping if I'll be ordering a custom Maternity Gown for your session!
WHEN SHOULD I BOOK YOU?
I have Maternity & Newborn Portrait Studios in both Charleston, SC (where I currently live) and Asheville (my hometown where I've owned a portrait studio for the last 15 years). My service area includes all of Charleston County. Most Newborn Sessions occur in my studio. If you would like me to travel outside of Charleston County for your Maternity or In-Home Newborn Session, my travel fee is $2 per mile, round trip.

Me (Sings):
"You can have whatever you like..." - TI
Of course you can! I spent 15 years shooting weddings and families, so I'm pretty good at photojournalistic / event coverage (for a baby shower or gender reveal, etc.) OR if you're entire family is getting together and you'd like a portrait session with the new baby while you're all together, I'm your girl! Whatever your unique request is, I can probably knock it out of the park, so don't hesitate to reach out! I'll probably be into it! 😘
I have a unique request, CAN I GET A QUOTE?
All that is required to book a maternity portrait session with me is a signed portrait contract and a $400 Creative Fee.
Heirloom Collections, Wall Art, Prints, Albums and Digital Files are purchased separately, after your portrait session proof gallery has been delivered and best of all, you only purchase what you absolutely love! There is an $800 minimum print investment require, this will be outlined in your portrait contract.
