I'm Ann, your Plano Maternity Photographer
Images that extend grace to yourself
Motherhood is full of anticipation for the next stage while also reminiscing on what once was. Our maternity photos are an opportunity to live in the present of feeling so big, so hopeful, so excited, while also maybe being a bit nervous and curious about what’s to come. AHP maternity sessions feel like a big exhale in a busy season. This whole process is designed to be a pause that allows you to celebrate what your family and your body is doing.
An invitation to
Experience Presence
A foundation of trust
I genuinely want to know about your pregnancy, your family, and all your hopes and fears for what this child will bring to your life. Clients often text me fitting room pics, we choose outfits together, and I prep you for photo day (mentally and physically).
Sessions planned around your needs
Not a performance or a to-do list to prepare for these photos. Our pictures pay homage to the beauty of your life right now as it is. I step right in with gratitude for the chaos of toddlers, appreciation for the family who has cared for you in this time, and gentle reassurance for the inevitable struggles of this season.
You're not left on your own
You’re not awkward and your kids are not “too much”. Ultimately, I will guide you and provide the security that’s needed to comfortably unwind as a family in front of my lens.
Once you complete an inquiry form, we hop on a quick call. Meeting new people is like my love language so this is our time to get to know each other and see if it’s a good fit!

Kind Words
“When I see those photos, I see their personalities so clearly, and it feels like a real moment captured in time.”
I was nervous that we would come off awkward in our photos. But Ann let us be ourselves and captured us in our natural element and personality dynamics. Our photos felt so authentic to us which made them just that much more special!

FAQ
Frequently asked Questions
When is the best time to schedule maternity photos?
Anywhere between 28-35 weeks is usually good. Everybody’s pregnancy is different, so depending on your needs, we will pick a date that is safest for you. Ideally, late enough that we can see a noticeable bump, but early enough that we’re not risking going into pre-term labor or feeling too exhausted.
Where is the best location to take my photos?
Somewhere that feels meaningful to your family is best. Many of my clients prefer the comfort of their own homes so their kids can look back at the place they first experienced love. If not home, we pick somewhere that sounds like a fun family outing so everyone can have a good time beyond just the photos.
What happens if my kids are shy or don’t want to cooperate?
We really work to know each other beforehand and I introduce myself over a video call before I ever even show up. Photo day isn’t rushed so there’s plenty of time for them to adjust to having a new friend around. Usually by the end of it, they’re asking for another play date!
