Jennifer Mae Photography - Dayton and Cincinnati Photographer

DAYTON MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHER

9 MONTHS PREPARING TO FALL IN LOVE

for a lifetime

The beauty of maternity is found in the anticipation – when love grows and the story of your little one begins to unfold. 

Maternity sessions are typically captured around 27-35 weeks,  when that baby bump is visibly showing. 

Offering both indoor and outdoor sessions, maternity sessions can be scheduled as a stand alone session or as part of the First Year Membership.

TAKING CARE OF DETAILS

I guide each maternity session to give custom touches, while still providing my simple & organic style. Through natural settings and pure light your love and connection are beautifully preserved. Let me focus on the details so YOU can focus on the moments.

experience the difference
  • An effortless session in the natural light studio or beautiful outside location.
  • The studio has quite the collection of dresses for mom, that easily coordinates with all the dad and kiddos clothes available as well.
  • If you choose to add on hair and makeup, I work with an amazing makeup artist that conveniently comes to the studio for studio sessions.
  • A proof gallery of lightly retouched images for you to view and select your favorites you want to invest in.
  • “Jennifer is an incredible photographer! We have been working with her for years for newborn, milestone, maternity, and family sessions for all 3 of our babies. She always makes the sessions feel fun and stress free, even with multiple little ones! I am continuously amazed at her ability to perfectly capture the essence of who our children are at that point in time and the memories she preserves for us are truly priceless.”
    Emily L.

READY TO START DOCUMENTING YOUR BABY’S STORY?

Questions? Let’s get you some answers.

I recommend maternity sessions land around 27-35 weeks, when your baby bmp is visibly showing. To ensure I have availability, it’s best to reach out once your second trimester has started.

I do offer the First Year Membership, which includes Maternity, Newborn, Sitter (baby is around 6-7 months), and One Year. This is best way to ensure you get the most popular milestones consistently captured throughout your little’s first year.

A proofing gallery will consist of lightly retouched images, that also include the studio watermark. Proofs are viewable, but not downloadable. I do not release proof images digitally. The amount of images in a proof gallery vary session to session, but are typically around 50 images. (less for Simplicity Sessions)

Your proof gallery will be available in about 2-3 days after your session. Proof galleries are sent via email, and are available in an online gallery.

My mission is to care for the tiniest details with the intention of giving each client a luxury experience from start to finish.

I’m a low volume photographer, meaning I typically only do one session a day. You can learn more about how being a low volume photographer allows me to give the best experience as possible, along with some important perks of flexibility to my clients HERE.

Final images are typically finalized and available to download in 1-2 weeks from the time you place your image order.

Yes, you will have access from your online gallery to order prints from a professional, exclusive printer that offers lustre, deep matte, and fine art prints.

You will also receive a print release with your final gallery. So you will also have the option to select another printer of your choice.

Yes, the studio offers a collection of heirloom keepsakes such as album, professional framed prints (complimentary design services included with both), and custom print boxes. All products are available to see in the studio.

Sneak Peek! Sometimes the sweetest moments are the Sneak Peek! Sometimes the sweetest moments are the ones unprompted 🤍
One day, the loudness of this season will quiet 🤍 One day, the loudness of this season will quiet 🤍

The car rides.
The inside jokes.
The growing independence.

The way they still lean into you, even as they’re becoming more and more themselves.

When your children get older, it becomes even easier to put off family photos because life feels busy and everyone’s schedules are pulling in different directions.

But these years matter too.
Maybe even more than you realize right now.

Because preserving your family’s story isn’t only about documenting the beginning - it’s about holding onto every chapter along the way ✨

A real session story 🤍 This little one was origin A real session story 🤍

This little one was originally booked as a baby-only newborn session.

But when mom arrived at the studio and saw how seamlessly everything came together - the wardrobe, the soft natural light, the calm experience - she decided to include family images as well.

And I’m so glad she did.

Because these are the images that become part of your story.

The connection.
The closeness.
The quiet beginning of this new chapter together.

It’s hard not to pause and think…
Could you imagine not having these moments to look back on years from now?
