At Holy City Babies, we believe that your Pregnancy deserves to be beautifully preserved, with intention. Our Photography Studio in Charleston is designed for mothers who want refined, magazine-worthy portraits that feel elevated, artistic, and timeless. This is not traditional maternity photography. This is maternity portraiture inspired by fashion editorials, fine-art lighting, modern storytelling and the low country!
Pregnancy is bold, it is transformative, it is beautiful and it is without question, the most miraculous metamorphosis in nature.
make'n it look easy since 2009.
A third generation photographer, I grew up in a home with beautiful, old black & white portraits lining our walls & filling our drawers. I think I've always loved faces, relationships & artistic storytelling because of it. After graduate school, I moved home, opened my portrait company and never looked back! I've been helping families to tell their love stories professionally for the last 17 years and for you, that means: reliable, consistent, quality work, every time!

she knew exactly how to guide me while still keeping everything relaxed and fun.
"Brittany is an absolutely fantastic photographer. Not only does she take incredible, high-quality photos, but she also has a real talent for making you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. From the moment we started, she made the whole experience feel easy and natural.
She gently coached me through poses and little adjustments that made a huge difference in how the final photos turned out. I never felt awkward or unsure—she knew exactly how to guide me while still keeping everything relaxed and fun. I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful photos and a great overall experience!" - Erica P
"brittany had this ability to read my mind/know what I would like and dislike before I even said anything"
"Brittany has been so fun to work with!! When I met her for the consultation, I felt like an actual barbie playing dress up. She had so many items to choose from in her wardrobe and had this ability to read my mind/know what I would like and dislike before I even said anything. She had a vision and direction and it felt so easy. I love my photos. Can't wait to get some of them hung up in my house!" - Brooke B
"If you're considering maternity photos at all, look NO FURTHER!"
"If you're considering maternity photos at all, look NO FURTHER! Brittany did such an incredible job with our maternity photos! She met with me beforehand to really understand what I was looking for (even though I had no clue) and helped guide the session. She has a terrific selection of wardrobe options and an adorable little studio. I felt so welcome and excited when I arrived. I loved that she was open to shooting in new places and am absolutely IN LOVE with the end product. Thank you so much, Brittany!!" - Christine B

when should i book my MATERNITY portrait session?
I can only accept a maximum of 5 expectant parents for Maternity Portraits each month. Most parents book their Maternity Portrait Session around 20 - 25 weeks and thus my shoot calendar fills up quickly. Its important to schedule as soon as possible to ensure my availability for your preferred date!
what should i wear?
Booking your Maternity Portraits with Holy City Babies gives you Exclusive Access to our Extensive Maternity Client Closet which is filled with custom, handmade, couture, editorial Maternity Gowns, Robes, Tossing Fabrics, Body Suits and other Unique Wardrobe Pieces that you are welcome to borrow for your Portrait Session OR you can wear something of your own if you prefer!
HOW LONG UNTIL WE SEE PROOFS?
Your Maternity Portrait Session Proofs will be delivered within 7 days of your Portrait Session. You can either schedule an in-person ordering appointment at the studio or I can deliver an online proof gallery if that feels more supportive!
when will we shoot?
The best time for Maternity Portraits is between 30-33 weeks. This is typically a sweet spot for expectant mothers as their baby bump has typically pop'd by then and they're usually feeling pretty good during this window -- not yet intolerably uncomfortable and this is usually before any water retention or swelling may occur!
not the right time for you?
where do we shoot?
Maternity Sessions happen either at my Photography Studio (Holy City Babies) located in the Avondale neighborhood of Charleston at 1020 Savannah Hwy OR at outdoor locations around Charleston. The Palmetto Collection will allow us to shoot a Hybrid Session (studio + outdoor). The studio is beautiful, comfortable and well appointed for your Maternity Portrait Session.
