As an Austin Maternity Photographer, if you ask me whether to take maternity pictures, my answer is always yes! Here’s exactly why I encourage parents to document this beautiful chapter—whether it’s their first child, second, or even fifth.

As a mama to two little girls, my heart overflows when we sit and flip through their photo albums together. You should see the wonder and sparkle in their eyes when I say, “That was you in there!”. Those moments are pure magic. They remind me why these photos matter so deeply.

I believe every parent deserves to experience these special moments of connection with their children.

Shelby And John’s Maternity Pictures at Woodbine Mansion

Originally from Georgia, Shelby and her husband John began planning their maternity photos with a special location in mind. Shelby wanted a place that felt distinctly like Austin—a sweet reminder of where their family’s journey began.

That’s when the Woodbine Mansion in Round Rock came to mind. With its Southern charm and stunning architecture, Woodbine had always been Shelby’s dream wedding venue. Unfortunately, scheduling had made that impossible at the time.

So when I suggested it for her maternity session, her eyes lit up with excitement. We were both thrilled when we secured a weekday session—an amazing win during the busy wedding season!

Shelby and John now plan to frame and display their favorite portraits in their home. It’s the perfect way to keep these memories close, and it fills my photographer heart with joy.
