Can you believe it? The moment you have been dreaming of and praying for is here. It's the beginning of it all. Whether this is the journey to your first time being called "mama" or your fourth - these are the moments we want to remember forever, but also long for their passing in anticipation for baby's arrival. But that doesn't take away from the beauty of how you got there. Let's capture the true miracle that is growing inside of you, the way your hands fall perfect over you bump, and the way your eyes share the joy of your heart.

THE BEGINNING OF IT ALL

We won't stop at capturing the memories - we will preserve them with tangible heirlooms. I'll be there with you every step of the way to create a beautiful gallery wall or a fine art album that will allow your children's children to hold these photos in their hands one day.

PRESERVING THOSE MEMORIES FOREVER

Our time together will be a celebration of the miracle growing within you. There will tender moments, laughter & joy, and we will capture the true essence of anticipating the arrival of your little one. Maternity sessions with big brother and sister are always my favorite, so bring the whole family!

OUR TIME TOGETHER

If there is anything we all wish we had more of it would be time, am I right mama? Our to-do lists are growing just as fast as our babies are and time to pause & preserve the fleeting days seems impossible. I will provide you an experience where your to-do list just says "show up".

I NEED THIS!

Discover the it's all taken care of experience that you didn't even know existed. What if I told you all you had to do was show up and I've got the rest? From your wardrobe to your hair and makeup, to artwork in your hands, all while enjoying time with your littles.

and I KNOW YOU'RE BUSY

THEY DON'T STAY LITTLE FOR LONG, MAMA

Many of Courtney Houk Photography's clients are Collective Members meaning there are months in advance that may already be booked out. It is never too early to reach out to book your session - I promise I'm a really good secret keeper and no one will know that you are expecting!

How early should I reach out to book my maternity session?

Absolutely, 100% yes. In fact, every signature session that I do includes your entire family! While a maternity session for a first time mama may look different than a maternity session for a soon to be mama of multiple kids, nothing changes except for maybe a few more giggles and dad chasing around your toddler!

Can my family be included in the maternity photos?

Of course they do! Whether you are just getting maternity photos done or booking a Collective Membership, there are beautiful product options that showcase only your maternity session or we are able to build out an album or gallery wall to tell you full story from maternity through baby's first year. 

Do people actually print their maternity photos?

My family had the best experience working with Courtney! She is so kind and personable. Being able to borrow outfits from her client wardrobe was incredibly helpful, and the options are all so beautiful. I absolutely love how our photos turned out! I will treasure them forever!

"Our session with Courtney was so effortless and the final results were beautiful and something I will always treasure. She was able to capture our family in the most perfect, genuine way and knew how to handle our busy toddler while still leaning into the session being maternity focused."
