Melissa and her team are beyond talented and extremely helpful! We came to them with very few ideas just knowing we wanted maternity and newborn photos. Our experience was second to none. Every interaction was extremely professional with quick reposes exceeding our expectations. A great perk was coming to the excellent downtown Durham location where maternity outfits and newborn outfits were provided. The large selection of outfits were unique and greatly reduced the stresses involved with photo shoots.
Our maternity photo shoot was expertly handled. We received our photos extremely fast and were able to accomplish everything we wanted to. In addition, Melissa was able to provide several great ideas for pictures we will cherish forever ever.

Seeing the portraits for the first time took my breath away. They captured every bit of my anticipation and joy for our daughter’s arrival. Every time I look at them, I can already picture holding her in my arms. These images made this final stretch of pregnancy even more exciting and meaningful.

From the moment I walked in, the team treated me like royalty. The studio was serene and beautiful, and every detail was thought through — from the wardrobe to the way they positioned me so I felt comfortable and confident. I left feeling celebrated, glowing, and so proud of the portraits we created together.

As a first-time mom, I was a little nervous about being in front of the camera, but the team immediately put me at ease. They guided me gently through the session, making sure I felt comfortable the entire time. I could tell they truly cared about both me and my baby.

These portraits are more than pictures — they’re the start of our family’s story. I know our daughter will look at them one day and see how loved she was before she was even born. They are going to be a treasured heirloom in our family forever.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this maternity portrait experience different from a typical photo session?
We create a serene, private environment designed for expecting mothers. Every detail — from wardrobe to posing guidance — is curated to make you feel confident and celebrated.
Why do mothers say this experience is unforgettable?
Because it’s more than a photoshoot — it’s a pause in time to honor your journey into motherhood, preserved forever as fine art.
When is the best time to do maternity portraits?
Maternity portraits are best taken between 30–35 weeks. If this is your second child, you may wish to schedule earlier as you may show sooner — and we want to ensure you don’t miss your window. Book early to secure your preferred date.
Can I include siblings and my spouse in the session?
Absolutely! This is a special time for your entire family, and we encourage their participation so we can create portraits that will be cherished for generations.
What’s included in my prize?
Winners receive a full fine art portrait experience at the studio and a 10” wall portrait with complete artistry ($500 value).
Is there any additional cost to me?
There is no obligation to purchase anything beyond your included gift. Many clients fall in love with their portraits and choose to invest in additional artwork, and if you do, your reservation fee or gift value can be applied toward your order.
How much are additional portraits?
Every portrait we create is crafted as a one-of-a-kind work of art, with pricing based on size, finish, and quantity. Collections begin at $500 and can range up to $10,000, with most families investing between $1,500 and $2,000. To make owning your favorite pieces more accessible, we offer flexible financing options — including no-interest plans — so you can enjoy what you love most without compromise.
Do I have to pay a refundable reservation fee?
Yes. We are an in-demand fine art studio and limit the number of appointments we accept to ensure the highest quality. The refundable reservation fee secures your time in our studio and staff for a dedicated, private portrait session.
What should I bring?
Just yourself — and any personal items or heirlooms you’d like to incorporate. We’ll take care of the rest.
What if I feel shy or unsure in front of the camera?
Our photographers provide gentle direction to help you feel relaxed, confident, and radiant.
