Brianna Maternity Session Glimpse | Salt Lake City Maternity Photographer

If you are pregnant and thinking about maternity photos, I want you to know this can be simple.

This is a glimpse into Brianna’s studio maternity session near Salt Lake City. Soft light. Calm pacing. Gentle guidance.
The kind of photos that feel like you, not like you are trying to perform.

My studio is in Bountiful, Utah, and I work with many families from Salt Lake City and all over the Wasatch Front who want a natural, connection focused experience.

A calm studio maternity session near Salt Lake City

Studio maternity photos are one of my favorite ways to document pregnancy because everything is controlled and comfortable.

  • Natural light, clean backgrounds, and a cozy space

  • No weather stress, no wind, no crowds

  • A relaxed pace with breaks whenever you need them

For this Momma, we kept it soft and timeless so the focus stayed on her and her growing baby.

What Momma wore, client wardrobe styling

Most moms do not want to shop for a dress they will wear once.
That is exactly why I offer a client wardrobe for my maternity and newborn clients.

During your session, I help you choose pieces that:

  • photograph beautifully in natural light

  • flatter your bump and your shape

  • feel comfortable and still elevated

If you are not sure what looks best, that is normal. You do not need to figure it out alone.

Gentle posing that feels natural

If you have ever thought, “I am awkward in photos,” you are not the only one.

My job is to guide you the whole way. I will help with:

  • hand placement

  • angles and posture

  • simple prompts that create natural movement

The goal is always the same. You should feel like yourself, and the photos should look like you.

When to schedule maternity photos

Most maternity sessions are best scheduled between 28 and 36 weeks. You usually have a beautiful bump, and most moms still feel comfortable enough to move around easily.

If you are outside that window, it does not mean you missed it. We can still plan something that fits your season.

Thinking of spring? Feels like we haven`t had winter here yet with this record breaking heat in December, but I`m feeling ready for longer days, early morning walks, flowers budding and signs of new life.

Motherhood stretches you, changes you, fills you in ways nothing else can.

Motherhood stretches you, changes you, fills you in ways nothing else can.

These are the days when time both stretches and disappears. One day blends into the next, and suddenly they’re a month old.

2025, you were full in the best way.
This year in the studio looked like little fingers wrapped around mama’s hand, brand new babies settling into safe arms, tiny smiles turning into belly laughs, and families learning how to just be together long enough for it to show.
I’m still undone by how fast it all goes.
Thank you for trusting me with your season.
For showing up tired, hopeful, pregnant, postpartum, joyful, tender, and real.
These highlights are a little love letter to the families I got to work with in 2025.
Here’s to more connection, more presence, and more moments that actually matter.

Eight years of tradition.
Eight years of families walking through these doors, year after year.

Some of these kids have been coming since they were babies. Some have grown up and moved on, and that feels just as meaningful. Being a small part of their childhood memories is something I’m truly grateful for.

Here’s a glimpse into a full day of quiet moments, nervous smiles, whispered conversations, and the calm magic that happens before Santa even says hello.

I’m deeply grateful to the families who trust me with this tradition, and to the Santa who has shown up year after year and become part of so many childhood memories.

When I first started this, I had no idea how it would be received. I’m so grateful it’s become part of so many families’ holiday traditions.
