Grand Rapids & West Michigan Maternity Photographer
Grand Rapids, MI | Ada, MI | Rockford, MI Grandville, MI | Holland, MI
Maternity sessions capture the special season before your family adds an extra member and are typically scheduled when momma is between 28-36 weeks into pregnancy. Sessions can include dad, older siblings, or just momma. Sessions take place all year round either in the beautiful pure Michigan outdoors , or in studio.
The beauty of these sessions is they are really 100% up to you and the vision you have for your photos. Before your session we'll talk about clothing and styling, as well as what you plan to do with your images after the session via pre-session questionnaire.. This helps me photograph with that in mind.
Prints and albums are available to create heirloom artwork that you'll enjoy looking back on for the rest of your life.
Very happy to have chosen her as my photographer for maternity photos! The session was easy going and she made me feel comfortable and confident!

FAQs
When is the best time to book a maternity session
I recommend scheduling your maternity session between 28 and 34 weeks when your baby bump is beautifully rounded, and you’re still comfortable. Booking early ensures availability, especially for premium sessions
Where do maternity sessions take place?
I offer both outdoor and studio maternity sessions in Grand Rapids, MI. Outdoor sessions take place in breathtaking natural locations during golden hour, while studio sessions provide a timeless, intimate setting with soft lighting and elegant styling.
Can my partner and children be included?
Absolutely! Maternity sessions are about celebrating this chapter of your life, and I encourage partners and siblings to be part of the experience.
How long does a maternity session last?
Maternity sessions typically last 60–90 minutes, allowing time for a variety of poses, locations, and intimate moments. I focus on creating a relaxed and enjoyable experience while capturing stunning portraits.
when/how will i receive my images?
Post-processing is the most time intensive part of your shoot, and so typically my session turnaround is about 3-5 weeks. Photos are delivered via digital download for instant access and easy sharing.
do you offer albums & prints?
Absolutely. While your session fee includes the session & digital files only, I also offer custom designed albums, keepsakes and professional prints after your session.
can i cancel/reschedule my session?
Yes. However, once booked all retainers are non refundable, as I am holding the date for you and turning away other clients.
Absolutely love all of the photos we have done through Jackie @ Honeywild Photography!! We have done newborn, sitter milestone, family session, a popup, and now a first birthday and most likely many more in the future!! She provides such a welcoming and warm environment and is so wonderful to work with!! I recommend her 10/10 times when i know someone looking for a newborn photographer and i get so many compliments on all of our photos!!
