I'm Missy, your Louisville Maternity Photographer

I'm here to help you remember what it felt like.

As a mother of two, I remember just how special this season feels. Seeing those two pink lines and instantly beginning to dream about the baby you can’t wait to meet. Planning the nursery, shopping for tiny outfits, and celebrating at baby showers. Pregnancy is filled with so much excitement, anticipation, and love.

With more than six years of experience as a Louisville maternity photographer, I’ve had the honor of walking alongside so many women in this season — and I’ve lived it myself, too! That’s exactly why I’ve created a full-service Louisville maternity photography experience designed to take the pressure off and gently guide you every step of the way.

Because in the middle of all the beauty, it’s also completely normal to feel a little unsure in your changing body — wondering what to wear or how to even stand in front of the camera. With me, you’ll be guided in a way that feels natural and effortless, and seen in a way that feels just as beautiful when you look back on these images years from now!

The Complete Experience

Styling & Planning

Once you've booked your Louisville Maternity Photography session with me, we'll meet at my studio to plan your session! I'll help style you & your babies with outfits that have been carefully curated & photograph beautifully. We'll finalize a location & start discussing what your goals are for artwork in your home.

Session Day

If you're using my hair & makeup artist, I will have her scheduled to pamper you before your session. I'll have your outfits steamed and ready to go on location. We'll have a fun, relaxed session together. My gentle guidance and eye for detail will help us capture the beauty and essence of your family in a natural way.

Design & Ordering

When your photos are ready, we'll meet again at the studio for your photo reveal and ordering appointment. You'll view custom artwork designs I've created just for you, and we'll finalize all the details that make the artwork uniquely YOU.
 MMP clients plan to spend $1200+ at their ordering appointment.
