Maternity Photographer

Welcome, I’m Calli- Natural light Maternity Photographer serving the greater Phoenix area. Stopping in today to tell you all about my latest maternity session. I had the pleasure of shooting maternity photos with the stunning Brianna Rose. These maternity photos were taken in Mesa, Arizona in the canyons of Tonto National Forest. Thanks for popping in and reading along!

Maternity AND Newborn Photography

I get several inquiries from people wondering about a maternity photoshoot package. If you are in the market for maternity and newborn photography, a package is the way to go. If my clients bundle their maternity session with a newborn session, I take $100 off of the newborn session fee. If you would like to see Brianna’s newborn photos, you can click here.

Lifestyle Maternity Photography

Let’s face it, working with a photographer should feel personal. Intimate maternity photography doesn’t have to necessarily mean that it’s riskay, to me it means that we get to know each other on a deeper level. I don’t think anything connects women more deeply than motherhood and I want you to feel that. Your maternity shoot photographer should put you at ease and bring out the best, most authentic parts of you and that’s what I aim to d

Arizona Maternity Shoot Locations

As a Phoenix maternity photographer, I’ve been all over the valley capturing motherhood. For this post, I’m going to focus on my top 3 favorite outdoor locations for maternity photos.

  1. Mesa maternity photos- Tonto National Forest- these maternity photos were taken along the way to Canyon Lake, but Tonto is huge with so much diversity! You seriously cannot go wrong. You’re got the lakes, the Superstitions and so much open desert.

  2. Phoenix maternity photos- Papago Park. It can get crowded due to the very popular hike so I always suggest if you’d like to take maternity photos here, we shoot for a week day. But the way the sunshine hits the red rock is pretty magical.

  3. Salt River maternity photos- There are too many amazing locations to count. Depending on the time of year, the water levels change, so I always make sure I know what the current levels are. But it’s a great spot if you need a change-up from your typical desert landscape and if we’re lucky, we might even see wild horses!
