CT Maternity Photographer | Madison CT Studio & Outdoor Sessions

Connecticut Maternity Photographer

Maternity sessions are one of my favorite things to photograph. There’s something about that season right before everything changes — and I love being the one who gets to capture it.

I’m based in Madison, CT and have been photographing maternity sessions for over 13 years. Sessions are available both in my private Madison studio and on location along the Connecticut shoreline, so whether you want something soft and intimate indoors or something a little more dramatic outside, we can make either work.

Studio & Outdoor Maternity Sessions

The studio option is a good fit if you want a controlled, styled environment with beautiful light and a relaxed pace. The studio is stocked with a collection of maternity gowns and dresses in a range of styles and colors, so you don’t need to stress about what to wear — we’ll figure that out together. If you have a specific vision in mind, bring it. If you have no idea what you want, that’s fine too.

Outdoor sessions are shot on location along the Connecticut shoreline — beaches, fields, wooded paths — depending on the season and the look you’re going for. If you’re thinking about an outdoor session, we’ll talk through timing, location, and what to wear based on your due date and the time of year.

Both options result in the same thing: timeless images that actually look like you during this season of your life.

What to Expect

Once you inquire, I’ll send over a full pricing guide with all the package details. When you book, you’ll receive a style guide to help you plan what to wear for your session. For studio sessions you’ll also have access to the gown collection when you arrive.

Sessions are typically done around 30-35 weeks, when the bump is showing but you’re still feeling relatively comfortable. The best time to book is during your second trimester so we have a date locked in before things get busy. That said, if you’re further along and haven’t booked yet, reach out — I’ll do my best to make it work.

Booking Maternity and Newborn Together

A lot of families who book maternity sessions also reserve their newborn session at the same time. When you work with the same photographer for both, your images have a consistent style and feel from one session to the next — and by the time your newborn session comes around, we already know each other, which makes everything easier.

There are package discounts available when you book multiple sessions together. If you’re interested in a bump to baby package or a full first year plan, just mention it when you inquire and I’ll go over all the options.

What our clients say

“We used Kat for maternity and newborn pictures for our first baby and just recently had maternity pictures for our second baby—this time with a stubborn 3 year old. I was so worried my daughter was going to decide she didn’t want to take pics and ruin the session. She didn’t stand a chance with Kat! My daughter warmed up to Kat quickly and ended up doing amazing thanks to Kat’s obvious expertise and experience of working with kids. I’m not nervous about the newborn photos anymore because I know Kat will work her magic once again! We are so fortunate to have such a talented photographer close to us to create works of art our family will treasure forever. Besides her gift of working with kids and making adults look their best in pictures, she’s quick to respond to emails and texts and accommodating with wardrobe help, scheduling, and editing requests. She’s hands down the best all around!”

“Kat is hands down the best maternity photographer around. I have three rambunctious boys who I always fear are never going to photograph well…put your worries away with Kat! She has managed to get photos of my boys that literally leave me wondering “when did that even happen? I never thought I saw that smile” I am always in awe when I get my photos back from her! She makes the entire process, from start to end easy! I recommend her to ALL my friends and family! You won’t be disappointed with your photos from Catherine King Photography!”
