maternity photography
that celebrates you

i want this!

Your family is expanding and your body is transforming. Preparing to meet your new baby is a whirlwind of a life-changing experience that deserves to be celebrated! The miracle of motherhood is extraordinary and immensely beautiful.

Whether this is your first child or you're a seasoned pro, you want to document this special chapter in your life with images that reflect the beauty and strength that is motherhood.

This is where my passion lies in maternity photography.

While my sessions tend to lean toward documentary style photography, I'm a little more hands-on during maternity sessions so that you end up with those jaw-dropping images. Whether you're hoping for an intimate in-home session or epic outdoor photoshoot, I'll support you every step of the way to ensure you're comfortable and stoked about the experience.

"SKYLER WAS SO WARM, INTUITIVE, AND RESPONSIVE FROM FIRST CONTACT TO FINAL DELIVERY."

"Skyler was so warm, intuitive and responsive from first contact to final delivery. Family photo sessions can be so pressured and stressful, but Skyler brought total ease and comfort to the process. When I shared some insecurities with her leading up to the day, she responded so thoughtfully and made me feel so cared for. She also connected so well with our five year old and had great ideas to engage him. And the pictures themselves are joyful, textured, and stunning. They are a treasure; so is Skyler!"

Skyler made us feel soooooooo comfortable during shoots and everything from her creativity to her communication to her editing speed was absolutely excellent.
Would work with her again, NO QUESTION.
If you're on the fence, I'd recommend hiring her NOW before her prices go up (since she's going to be in such high demand).

"10 STARS! Blown away! Feel so lucky we met such a wonderful person!"

Skyler is incredibly professional and creates a natural and comfortable space. Even though I am awkward in front of the camera, Skyler made me feel completely at home and captured the joy of the moment without staging anything. She was also super patient and kind to work with!

"She was super patient and kind to work with!!"

Skyler is the best! My husband and me we enjoyed a session together and everything with her was great! Working with Skyler feels super natural and fun. We are from Spain and we were looking for some photographer specialized in couples/ Families to have a good memories in the future when we will come back to Spain.
 We found Skyler and the result of the session was.. I dont have enough words to describe it! AMAZING.

Yes, I love to travel! I am based in San Francisco, CA and most sessions take place within a 30 mile radius of zip code 94109. A small travel fee will be added for every mile beyond. If you're inquiring from Minnesota, just send me a message. I visit my family frequently and spend several weeks in Minnesota every summer!

You will receive an email with your online gallery of images 2-4 weeks after our photographic session. Event photography can take up to 6 weeks for gallery turnaround due to the higher volume of images. Want rushed delivery? You can add it to your package!

Upon receiving your online gallery, you will be given access to an online shopping portal where you can order prints, canvases, albums, and a variety of other fine art options. This is a great option for extended family members. Simply send them the link to the gallery and they can order from the comfort of their own home!

Absolutely! Simply ask, and we'll co-create a payment plan that works for you. Payment must be made in full on the date of your session.

I have always been drawn to documentary-style photos and firmly believe your natural beauty doesn't require Photoshop. However, I will remove any temporary blemishes and every image delivered will be edited with my signature style.

In my personal opinion, I recommend finding something that's already in your closet. These images are meant to reflect you during this special time in your life. But if you feel more comfortable starting fresh, that's totally okay too! First and foremost, I want you to be comfortable and feel like yourself. Upon booking, I'll share a list of helpful tips that will support you in narrowing down your clothing options. I offer as much or as little support as you want, so don't hesitate to snap a picture of your outfit options and send it my way!

I typically recommend maternity photos anywhere from 28 to 36 weeks into your pregnancy. However, it's important to take into account how you are feeling, too! I've photographed some mamas with smaller bellies, and few have gotten lucky with scheduling a session mere days before their due date! I don't recommend this, haha, but please reach out if you're looking for a last minute booking. Maternity photography is super important to me and I will do my best to make time for you!

Oh, so hard to choose! This is totally up to you and your vibe (and sometimes the weather). In home sessions have a much cozier and intimate feel to them while outdoor sessions can bring more drama and adventure. I personally love both. If you're having a hard time deciding, I'll gladly hop on a phone call to discuss the options and what I recommend for your specific session.

If you're hoping for indoor maternity photos, I typically recommend holding them in your home as it adds an extra layer of meaning to your images. However, as someone who lives in a tiny studio apartment in SF and would never dream of holding a photoshoot in here, I completely understand if you're not feeling an in home session.

So yes, I do offer studio maternity photography for those who would prefer it! There will be an additional $150 to help cover the cost of the studio rental.

I shot a lot of film back in college and have recently been diving back into it during my sessions! Since I’m still working out the kinks, I do offer one complimentary roll of film per session - just ask! If you want any additional rolls, they are $100 per roll.
