The Maternity
EXPERIENCE
Your pregnancy is the beginning of your baby’s story, and these portraits become a treasured gift for both of you for years to come. During a time when your body is constantly changing, you deserve to feel beautiful, supported, and cared for. That’s why every Minneapolis Maternity Photography session is designed as a full-service experience.
Remember this fleeting season with timeless images.
The beginning of your new everything.
As your family prepares to welcome a new life, maternity portraits become a way to pause and honor this moment before everything changes. These sessions celebrate the beauty of motherhood and the quiet connection you already share with your baby
What’s Included
in your Minneapolis Maternity Photography session
A full-service portrait experience designed so you can simply show up, be present with your family, and leave with artwork that tells your story.
Preparing for your session should feel exciting, not overwhelming. As a Brooke Elisabeth client, you'll have access to the studio wardrobe for mothers, babies, and children, along with curated style guides to help coordinate your family's look with ease.
Together, we'll also select the perfect location for your Minnesota Maternity session and begin planning how your portraits will live in your home. Every detail is thoughtfully considered so your images are created with their final destination in mind.
Styling & Planning
2–4 weeks before your session
As a mom, you're often the last one to get ready. On session day, let us take care of you.
Professional hair and makeup is provided by our trusted partner, Lady Vamp Artistry, either in your home or at the studio before your session. This time allows you to relax, feel cared for, and step in front of the camera with confidence and beauty.
Hair & Makeup
Either in your home or our studio
Your family photographs deserve more than living on a screen. A few weeks after your session, we'll meet for your viewing and design appointment, where you'll see your portraits for the first time. Together, we'll select your favorite images and design the artwork that will become part of your home and your family's story.
Whether through framed wall art, heirloom albums, or a combination of both, the goal is always the same: transforming your memories into something you can hold, live with, and pass down for generations.
The Reveal
2-3 weeks after your session
The final step is bringing your artwork home.
Once your pieces are ready, our professional installer will carefully hang your custom gallery wall so everything is perfectly placed and ready to enjoy. Heirloom albums will be available for pickup once completed.
This final step ensures your Minneapolis maternity portraits don't stay tucked away on a hard drive, but instead become part of your everyday life.
Artwork Installation
6-8 weeks after your viewing appointment

Kind Words
"Documenting your pregnancy is something you’ll never regret, no matter how tired or swollen you may feel."
“We absolutely loved our experience working with Brooke Elisabeth Photography to capture our maternity photos. She was incredibly helpful in coordinating every detail, assisting with wardrobe for the whole family, and making everyone feel at ease and comfortable in front of the camera. It was a dream session at the beach, and not only do we have incredible photos of the experience, but we also have such fond memories of it. They are photos that will be cherished for a lifetime, and I will pass them on to my son so he can see how excited we were to meet him.”
