Maternity Photographer
Celebrating Your Pregnancy Journey with Beautiful, Relaxed Portraits
Hey mama! I'm Danielle, and I'm so glad you're here. If you're looking for maternity photos in Derry, NH
but feeling a little nervous about being in front of the camera - I totally get it. Let me tell you something I tell
every expecting mom who walks into my studio: you're going to do amazing, and we're going to have fun
with this.
"But I'm Going to Feel So Awkward..."
I'm going to guide you through everything.
I hear this literally all the time, and I promise you - that awkward feeling? It disappears about five minutes into
your session. Here's why: I'm going to guide you through everything. You don't need to know how to pose or
what to do with your hands (nobody does, by the way). That's my job!
All you need to do is show up, relax, and follow my lead. I'll tell you exactly where to stand, how to hold your
bump, where to look - all of it. Think of me as your director for the day. You just get to be the beautiful, glowing
star.
And honestly? Some of my favorite shots happen when moms stop trying to "pose perfectly" and just let
themselves feel the moment. A little drama, a genuine laugh, a quiet hand on your belly - that's the good stuff.
That's what you'll want to remember.
What Should I Wear?
(And Other Questions I Get All The Time)
"I have nothing to wear that fits or looks good."
Don't stress - I have a gorgeous client wardrobe with maternity gowns and dresses you can borrow! Flowy, flattering, and they photograph beautifully. You can also bring your own outfits if you have something you love.
We'll figure it out together.
"Can my partner/kids be in the photos?"
Absolutely! I love including dad and siblings. These photos are about your growing family, and everyone should be part of that story if you want them there.
"I don't feel beautiful right now."
Oh mama, I understand. Pregnancy is hard on our bodies and our confidence sometimes. But here's what I see: a woman creating life. Your body is doing something incredible right now, and I promise you - we're going to capture that beauty. The right angles, the right light, and a little bit of that pregnancy glow you might not even realize you have? You're going to love these photos.
"What if I can't get comfortable or the posing hurts?"
We work at YOUR pace. If you need to sit, we sit. If standing feels better, we stand. If you need a break, we take a break. I have pillows, stools, and props to help support you. Your comfort matters way more than any photo.
Studio or Outdoor? You Choose!
I photograph maternity sessions both in my studio and outdoors here in the Derry area.
Studio sessions
Beautiful, timeless look with gorgeous light and privacy. Plus, you don't have to
worry about weather!
Outdoor sessions
Natural, golden-hour glow
and those New Hampshire backgrounds.
Not sure which one is right for you? Let's chat about it! I can help you decide based on the vibe you're going for.
Why Derry Moms Choose Me
If you’re in Derry, you’re just a 5-minute drive from my Salem studio — which means there’s really no logistical excuse not to do this. For a mama who’s 30+ weeks along and doesn’t want a long drive, that proximity matters.
Derry also has some wonderful outdoor locations if that’s your preference:
Either way — studio or outdoors — I’ll help you choose what fits your style and your bump best
Let's Do This!
If you're in Windham, Derry, Londonderry, Salem, or anywhere in southern NH and you're ready to book your maternity session - or even if you just want to ask a few questions first - I'd love to hear from you.
Seriously, just reach out. No pressure, no obligation. We'll chat about what you're looking for, I'll answer any questions you have, and if it feels like a good fit, we'll get you on the calendar.
You've got this, mama. And I've got you. Let's create some beautiful photos you'll treasure forever.
Thinking about newborn photos too? Ask about the benefits of booking both Maternity & Newborn Sessions.
How far in advance should I book?
I recommend booking around your second trimester so we can secure a spot in that ideal 28-34 week window.
But if you're reading this and you're already 32 weeks - don't worry! Reach out anyway. I'll do my best to fit you
in.
How long does the session take?
Plan for about an hour, but we'll take as much time as you need to feel comfortable and get those perfect shots.
What happens after the session?
You'll get an online gallery within one week where you can view, download, and share your photos. We'll also
chat about prints, albums, or wall art if you want to display these beautiful images in your home.
Do you offer gift certificates?
Yes! Maternity sessions make wonderful baby shower gifts. If someone wants to gift you a session, I can set
that up.
