Modern Maternity
Portraits.

Editorial maternity photography in the Las Vegas studio — for the woman, and for the people who define this chapter with her.

Welcome

Las Vegas Modern Maternity Photographer.

Modern Maternity is luxury maternity photography in the Las Vegas studio — built around a single belief: that a woman in this chapter of her life deserves images she'll actually want to display, not tuck into a baby book.

I'm Jennifer — the photographer behind J. Renée Studios. For more than twenty years, I've been documenting women through the chapters that matter, and few chapters are more fleeting than this one.

Every Modern Maternity session is fully guided, fully styled, and built around her. Her partner is welcome. Her older children are welcome. The people who define this chapter with her are part of the portrait of who she is becoming.

This is editorial. This is intentional. This is the kind of session you'll look back on years from now and finally love an image of yourself.

The Framing

Editorial. Intentional. Authentic.

The maternity images you've seen across the internet — the floating-on-water shots, the gauzy-dress-in-a-field shots, the over-styled goddess moments — were made for a specific moment in time. That moment has passed.

What I make is different.

Refined. Intentional. Authentic. The kind of editorial photography that shows up in magazines — images that capture this chapter, hold up in fifteen years, and still feel like you when your child is old enough to look at them.

You will be guided through every pose. Every angle. Every expression.

But what we make together will not look like a maternity photo.

It will look like a portrait.

A Family Moment

Welcome the people who define this chapter with you.

Modern Maternity sessions are built around her — but not necessarily of her alone. Whoever is part of this chapter is welcome to be part of these images, equally.

01

Solo

A full editorial maternity session focused entirely on her — the body in transition, the chapter of becoming, the woman before she becomes a mother to one more.

02

With your partner

Your partner is welcome in any portion of the session. Some of the most striking maternity portraits are the ones that capture the relationship at this exact moment — the way he looks at her right now, before everything changes again.

03

With your children

Children are welcome in any portion of the session. The way they touch her belly. The way they look at her differently, knowing what's coming. A family of three becoming a family of four — captured the way it actually felt.

All three combinations are included. There's no upcharge for adding your family.

Every Session Includes

What you walk in with.
What you walk out with.

01

Professional hair and makeup

With my in-studio team. Editorial-grade, designed for camera and tuned for maternity portraiture.

02

Wardrobe planning and the studio's maternity collection

A wardrobe consultation is sent in advance. The studio also has a curated maternity wardrobe collection available for use — so you don't have to buy something you'll only wear once.

03

Fully guided posing

I walk you through every pose, every angle, every expression — start to finish. You're never standing there wondering what to do.

04

A private, all-female studio

Every person you'll meet on the day of your session is a woman. The photographer behind the camera is always me.

05

Every image fully retouched

Editorial standard, every frame. Color and black-and-white where appropriate.

06

Next-day private gallery reveal

We hop on a Zoom together, walk through your gallery, and narrow to your favorites. You only purchase what you love.

Las Vegas maternity photographer with twenty years of experience
Twenty Years Behind the Lens

Maternity images you'll want to display.

I've been a working photographer for over twenty years. Before boudoir and portraits became the heart of my work, I spent years photographing newborns and maternity — being trusted with families through the most personal seasons of their lives.

I know exactly how to photograph a body in transition. I know how to capture a couple in this exact chapter without it feeling staged. I know how to keep older children comfortable enough to be themselves in front of the camera.

These are not photographs you tuck into a baby book. They are images you'll want to display — above your bed, in the nursery, in the home you're about to fill with one more person.

Frequently Asked

The questions women ask before booking.

I recommend scheduling your session between 26 and 34 weeks. That's the window when the body has rounded fully but you're still comfortable enough to enjoy the experience. Earlier than 26 weeks and the bump may not photograph the way you'll want it to. Later than 34 weeks and most women feel too tired to enjoy a full session.

The session fee is $490 and includes professional hair and makeup, wardrobe planning and access to the studio's maternity wardrobe collection, the fully guided studio session, every image retouched, and a next-day private gallery reveal. Image collections are purchased separately after your reveal — single images start at $250 and collections start at $1,997 for ten images. Most maternity clients invest between $2,000 and $4,000 on a collection.

Sessions are built around her, but the whole family is welcome. Your partner can be in part of the session. Your older children can be in part of the session. There's no upcharge for including them — they're part of the portrait of who you are right now.

Yes. Wardrobe planning is included with every session, and the studio has a curated maternity wardrobe collection available for use — so you don't have to buy something you'll only wear once. You're welcome to bring your own pieces too. Most clients use a mix.

About two and a half hours, start to finish. That includes professional hair and makeup, settling in, your full session, and a few minutes to decompress before you leave. Sessions that include older children may run slightly longer to accommodate breaks and wardrobe changes.

Yes. Almost every woman who books a maternity session feels this way at first — bodies look unfamiliar, energy levels are different, the whole thing can feel exposed in a way she's not used to. Within the first ten minutes of being in the studio, the nerves are usually gone. My job is to support you, guide you, and do this with you — not to put you in front of a camera and ask you to figure it out.

No. The body you have right now is the body that's making a person — and that's exactly the body these images are meant to celebrate. I've photographed thousands of women, and I have never once photographed a woman who didn't love her images afterward. Posing, lighting, and twenty years of experience do the work. You don't have to change a single thing.

Yes. I offer Affirm, Klarna, and an in-house payment plan. Payment plans can be set up before your session so your images can be delivered at the time of your shoot.

Your fully retouched gallery is ready the next day for your private Zoom reveal. After you select your images, digital files are delivered within about three days. Albums and wall art take roughly three to four weeks — early enough to have them in hand before the baby arrives if you book the session at the start of the recommended window.

I recommend booking as soon as you know your due date — Las Vegas dates fill quickly, and maternity sessions are uniquely time-sensitive. Most maternity clients book at least 8–12 weeks ahead to lock in the right week of pregnancy.
