Photo Sessions
Austin Maternity & Newborn Photographer
Picture New Beginnings
Hi, I’m Stephanie — an Austin maternity and newborn photographer.
I specialize in relaxed, beautiful sessions that capture this fleeting, once-in-a-lifetime season.
For maternity sessions, I photograph expecting moms and their partners on-location across Austin — golden hour in a park, a grassy field, or right at home if that’s where you feel most comfortable.
The best time to book is between 32 and 36 weeks, so reach out early.
For newborn sessions, I come to you. At-home sessions mean your baby is in a familiar environment, which makes for a calmer, more natural shoot — and means you don’t have to pack up a newborn and go anywhere.
I also offer Fresh 48 hospital sessions and C-section documentary photography for families who want to capture those very first hours.

FAQ
Frequently Asked
+ What should I wear for my maternity session?
You can bring up to 3 outfits. Pick clothes that you feel comfortable and beautiful in and that accentuate your belly. You can also rent maternity clothes from several sources.
+ When's the best time to have my maternity photo session?
Between 32-36 weeks of your pregnancy (earlier if you are having multiples).
+ When's the best time to have my newborn session?
Ideally between 7 to 10 days after your baby is born, but anytime in the first few weeks is fine.
+ How should I prepare for my newborn session?
Try and keep your baby awake before I arrive and feed them just before I get there. (We will always take breaks during your newborn session to make sure your baby is comfortable, well-fed and has a dry diaper). Keep your house warm and have all your supplies (wraps, outfits, etc.) nearby.
+ Where should we take our photos?
We’ll discuss options during pre-planning – but I have a list of over 50 great spots in and around Austin with a variety of backgrounds from urban to nature settings for maternity photos. For newborn sessions, those are either at-home or in the hospital.
+ Do you do newborn "Fresh 48" in the hospital or labor & birth photo sessions?
Yes, though I only take on a limited amount of hospital photo sessions. Please contact me with your due date to discuss first. I offer C-Section documentary photography ($400 plus tax) as well as newborn & family sessions at the hospital after birth ($400 plus tax). I am not offering other birth photography at this time.
Ready to book your Austin maternity or newborn session?
Both maternity and Fresh 48 sessions book up quickly — especially since due dates can shift. I recommend reaching out at least 6–8 weeks before your expected session date to make sure your spot is secured. Have questions about what to expect or which package is right for you? I’m happy to chat – just contact me.

“We worked with Stephanie to capture our newborn hospital photos.
Stephanie was amazingly easy to work with, and incredibly professional. She also leaned into creative posing and thought well on her feet; it doesn’t seem easy to make a boring hospital room look intimate and cozy, but she pulled it off! The photos turned out better than we could have ever pictured (pun intended) and we’re so glad she was there to snap such a precious and fleeting moment in time.
We would totally choose to work with her again in the future.” – Sarah
“We wanted to preserve beautiful moments of my pregnancy with our first lil baby boy and a photoshoot was the best option to create wonderful memories. Thank you Stephanie for doing my maternity photoshoot. Can’t wait to see the pictures !!” – Sree
“Amazing! Thank you” – Alana
