Lifestyle Maternity Session | San Francisco Portrait Photographer

This lifestyle maternity session in San Francisco took place in the couple’s home, which immediately set the tone for something relaxed, personal, and true to where they are in this season of life.

They’re friends of a past bride, and while I wasn’t available to photograph their wedding, it meant a lot that they thought of me again when it came time to document their maternity photos. Getting to be invited back in this way always feels meaningful, and it’s one of the things I love most about photographing people over time.

An in-home maternity session allows space for things to unfold naturally. There’s no rush, no pressure, just quiet moments, familiar surroundings, and a pace that feels comfortable. Their home was beautiful and thoughtfully designed, and it photographed effortlessly without needing anything extra. The focus stayed on connection, movement, and the small details that make a space feel lived in.

Lifestyle maternity sessions like this one are about capturing a feeling rather than a pose. The result is a set of images that feel intimate, calm, and rooted in everyday life.

Their home was beautiful and loved their design aesthetic as soon as I walked in. Seriously, I even mentioned that they should submit it to Apartment Therapy :)
