Be Proud. Feel Amazing. Embrace Your Body.

Pregnancy is a powerful transformation — one worthy of being documented with care and intention. As an Austin maternity photographer with years of experience and accolades, Valerie brings a deep understanding of how to honor this chapter in a woman’s life.
You’re not just getting maternity photos — you’re celebrating a story. Whether it’s your first baby or your fourth, this experience is designed to remind you of your strength and beauty.
This Is for You — Before Everything Changes
Once baby arrives, the focus naturally shifts. That’s why Valerie encourages clients to take time to celebrate themselves during pregnancy. These moments are fleeting. You deserve to be seen, celebrated, and reminded of how incredible this journey is — stretch marks, curves, and all.
If you’ve browsed the Valerie Kay Photography Instagram or portfolio and thought, “They must be models,” you’re not alone. But every woman you see is a real client — just like you — who trusted Valerie to create something meaningful.
When Should You Schedule Your Maternity Photos?
The ideal time for a maternity session is between 30–34 weeks. This allows enough time to plan, prepare, and capture your bump at its most beautiful — while still feeling comfortable during your session.
