CLEVELAND MATERNITY PHOTOS
UNIQUE | ARTISTIC | INTIMATE
Your feet are swollen and your back is aching.
You barely recognize yourself in the mirror these days and, let’s be honest, it’s frustrating to watch your body change in so many ways that you never expected. But it’s also amazing.
Whether your journey to Motherhood has been long or short, you know that this pregnancy with this child (who you cannot wait to meet!) is only going to happen once.
We put so much emphasis and excitement on photographing things like our weddings…but what about our pregnancies?
Isn’t this also a ONCE in a lifetime event taking place?
My job as your maternity photographer is to plan and execute an intimate session that helps you look your best, even when you aren’t feeling it.
Now before you hit the back button, I get it, I’ve been there! I won’t even get into some of the nitty-gritty details of all I endured to bring my children into the world (unless you want me to, then just ask!) but I can tell you one thing.
As a Mom of 3 myself, I am so grateful for the photographs I have to remember my journey through pregnancy. I know that I have something to share with my children as they get older to show them just how loved they were before they were even born AND those photos bring me right back to those little kicks I felt from the inside.
If you’re in the Cleveland or Akron, Ohio area and searching for a maternity photographer, please view a selection of just a few of my favorite photos I’ve taken, and get all the investment details and more about working with me below.
MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY IN CLEVELAND OHIO
“Lauren is incredible! She has done my maturity pictures along with newborn and 6 month photos of my daughter. She was easy to work with, made my family feel comfortable and most importantly took beautiful photos that document this incredible time in our lives. I get so many compliments on her pictures!!”

FAQ: Let Me Answer Your Questions.
-
After booking, I ask you to fill out a questionnaire and tell me your DREAM location! After that, I will send you over some suggestions. I hand pick all of my locations so that I know how it will look in your photos, where the light is, and can make sure it’s going to give you the results you want! I have an array of locations I use throughout Northeast Ohio and in the Akron and Cleveland areas.
-
The majority of my studio sessions take place on weekday mornings (parking in downtown Medina is EASIER and the lighting is PERFECT!) and most of my outdoor sessions are held on weekday evenings at sunset. If for some reason you can’t find a date that works for you on my calendar, please just reach out!
-
Yes! All maternity sessions include immediate family members, meaning spouses/children. I do ask you do not bring grandparents, friends, or other family members along, and I do not currently offer extended family sessions.
-
Absolutely! A HUGE part of the final results is wardrobe. Sounds superficial, but its true. Earthy colors and neutrals tend to do best with my style of editing, and I offer both a virtual styling tool (which my clients LOVE) and a customized client closet with dresses for women in all sizes, as well as babies, and children. If I don’t have something you love in the client closet to borrow and use, then we’ll find the perfect wardrobe for you to get.
-
If you’d like to do an in home maternity session, reach out to me before booking so I can get some additional information!
-
My goal is to make the process of working with me not only easy but fun! I know the longer you wait for photos, the less exciting it is. I get all proofing galleries back to you within 7 days of your session, and final galleries delivered within 3 weeks after you’ve chosen and paid the final invoice!
-
Yes! If you would love to work with me, but need to spread out payments, no problem. Just contact me about setting one up!
-
I suggest booking in your 2nd trimester! Once you are between 12-14 weeks, send me an email and let’s set it up! If you waited and it’s last minute, please feel free to still reach out. While I can’t guarantee availability, if I can fit you in, I will. Most maternity sessions take place between 32-36 weeks. Depending on if it’s your first (or fourth!) and if you are expecting to deliver early, etc. Every situation is unique and different, so some we do a few weeks earlier and some a little later.
