Maternity Sessions

Natural-light portraits that celebrate the beauty of motherhood — the glow, the anticipation, the quiet love before your baby arrives.

Celebrate the beauty of motherhood

Pregnancy is one of the most extraordinary times in a woman’s life. It’s a journey filled with love, anticipation, and transformation.

As a maternity photographer based in San Francisco and the Bay Area, I am here to capture this unique chapter — preserving the beauty, emotions, and connections that make it so special.

Why maternity photography
Your pregnancy is a fleeting moment in time, and it deserves to be celebrated. These photos become cherished keepsakes that you and your family can look back on for years to come.
Meet your photographer

Hi, I’m Tatiana Balashova

Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, I’ve been photographing life’s most meaningful moments since 2010. My work blends fine-art portraiture with a documentary eye — capturing genuine emotion rather than stiff, posed shots.

I danced for twenty years and worked as a choreographer, so I know exactly how to guide you into positions that feel natural and look effortless. And as a mother of three, I understand the beauty — and the nerves — of this chapter first-hand.

Frequently asked

When should I schedule my maternity session?

The ideal time for a maternity photoshoot is between 28–36 weeks of pregnancy. During this period, your belly has a beautiful, round shape, and you’re likely to still feel comfortable enough to enjoy the session.

What should I wear for my session?

Choose outfits that make you feel comfortable and beautiful. Flowing dresses, fitted tops that highlight your bump, or even casual outfits can work perfectly. I also provide wardrobe guidance during our pre-session consultation.

Can my partner or children join the session?

Absolutely! Including your partner or children adds a special touch to your maternity photos and captures the love and excitement of the whole family.

What if I feel camera-shy?

I specialize in creating a relaxed and comfortable environment. I’ll guide you through natural poses to help you look and feel your best.

How long will it take to receive my photos?

Your professionally edited photos will be ready within 2–3 weeks after the session.

Can I choose both indoor and outdoor locations?

Yes! With the Premium Package, you can select up to two locations to add variety to your photos.

Should I bring any props to the session?

Bringing meaningful props can add a personal touch — items like baby shoes, ultrasound pictures, or a favorite blanket can highlight your story and create beautiful, unique moments.
