Maternity Photography in the Tri-Cities & Greater Vancouver
You’re growing a whole new person.
That deserves more than a phone photo in the hallway.
I’m Mary, and I’ve photographed expecting moms and new families in the Tri-Cities since 2015. My maternity sessions are relaxed and unhurried. I guide every pose, help you choose what to wear, and make sure you feel comfortable and confident, even on a day your feet are swollen and you’re not sure you feel “photo-ready.”
When should I book my maternity photos?
The best time for maternity photos is between 28 and 34 weeks. Your bump is beautifully round, and you’re usually still comfortable moving and posing. Later than that, many moms feel tired or notice swelling, so I suggest not leaving it too late.
Because my calendar fills up, it’s best to reach out around 20–24 weeks to save your date. If you’re expecting twins or your doctor has advised rest, let me know and we’ll plan around you.
How your session works
- Free consultation. We chat about the look you love, indoor or outdoor, and who’s joining (partner, older kids, even the dog).
- Styling help. Choose from my maternity wardrobe of dresses, gowns and skirts at no extra charge, or bring your own outfits. I’ll send you a short what-to-wear guide.
- Your session. About 1 hour for a Regular session, or 2–3 hours for the Combo. I guide every pose, and there’s always time for breaks, water and snacks.
- Your gallery. Retouched images in colour and black and white, delivered within 4 weeks. You choose your favourites.

Maternity photography FAQ
What should I wear?
Fitted dresses or gowns that show your bump photograph beautifully. Solid colours and soft neutrals work best. You’re welcome to use my wardrobe at no charge, and I’ll send you a short guide after booking.
Can my partner and children be in the photos?
Yes, and I love including them. Older siblings often make the sweetest photos.
What if it rains on the day of an outdoor session?
This is Vancouver, so we plan for it. We’ll pick a backup date or switch to an indoor option.
How long until I get my photos?
Your retouched gallery is ready within 4 weeks.
Can I combine maternity and newborn photos?
Yes. The Belly to Baby package covers both and saves you $50.
Do you photograph outside the Tri-Cities?
Yes. Most clients come from Port Moody, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Burnaby and New Westminster, and I also welcome families from across Greater Vancouver.
