Charlotte, North Carolina Maternity Photographer

Charlotte Maternity Photography sessions takes place between 30-34 weeks in term. I utilize my studio to create a fine art style gallery with maternity gown, fabrics and bodysuits available in my client closet. I also have hand picked several locations designated for maternity sessions in Waxhaw and surrounding areas. You are more than welcome to include your family and doggos in your session.

Your gallery of beautifully edited maternity portraits will be ready within 2 weeks after your session. We will schedule your photo reveal at the end of your maternity photography session. We specialize in designing elegant and timeless wall décor. You’re welcome to provide us with snapshots of your wall space, so we can design a custom display for your home. We offer a lovely selection of fine art prints, Acrylic, and luxury albums for a spectacular presentation of your most special memories.

Why book a maternity session?

Pregnancy is a unique and precious time in your life where so much is changing all at once. It can be hard to feel like yourself when pregnant, it's stressful and overwhelming at times, but our photography sessions are a chance for you to relax and enjoy the experience. We'll take care of everything, from flattering poses that make you feel confident and beautiful to a couture wardrobe for you to choose from and professional hair and makeup, so you can sit back and feel pampered. I will work with you to create beautiful images you can cherish for a lifetime, not only to share with family and friends over social media but to cultivate physical art you can cherish and pass down through the generations. Your children will love looking at their maternity album and seeing how beautiful their momma looked while pregnant. We're dedicated to making you feel amazing and confident during your pregnancy; one click at a time!

As you’ll see in our maternity gallery, we use our backdrop and lighting styles to create our signature style of: true to life sink tones, bold lighting and timeless imagery. We specialize in tasteful implied nude and true to life skin tone and bold colors to create timeless art.

A DAY OF PAMPERING

The question I get the most is: What if I feel swollen, tired and miserable?

Momma I hear you! You might be looking at these amazing photos and thinking that can never be me. I'm here to tell you it absolutely will be you! You're sharing your body with a little tiny human. you may be feeling nauseous, fatigued, in pain, etc. That's why you deserve to be pampered, professionally posed by someone who knows all the best angles. You're too tired to do your hair and makeup? I got you! We have an in house hair and makeup artist! Don't have anything that fits you anymore? That's why I have a wardrobe for you! Once your little one is all grown up in 20 years and is flipping through your album they wont be able to stop gushing about how beautiful their momma looks!

I could not say enough great things about my experience with Sofia and her studio. I am so glad our paths crossed!
I do not consider myself that outgoing but Sofia instantly made me feel comfortable about the entire concept, remained professional, and yet so compassionate and personable. She is extremely knowledgeable about pregnancies and complications such as gestational diabetes and preeclampsia (I was shocked and impressed). She constantly was checking on me to make sure I was feeling OK. She had snacks and drinks to make sure my blood sugars were OK and even made sure I sipped water after laying down! Being in my third trimester I found such comfort in her and she made me feel so beautiful!
She really does think of every single detail. I have worked with many photographers myself and with my family and I would highly recommend NicSo Studio for a luxurious experience and absolutely stunning photos. I have always wanted to do studio styled maternity photos and she absolutely took my breath away with her images!! - Courtney

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Should I Use a Charlotte Baby Photographer?

Your professional photographer can help you decide what you want and consider your unique style. We offer ideas or let you take the reins and create the perfect moments.

Do You Offer Family Photography Services?

Yes! You can come to the portrait studio for maternity photography services first. Once your bundle of joy arrives, we schedule newborn photography sessions! Some new moms incorporate their maternity photos into the session. Maternity photographers can do so much to create memories!

Do I Have to Get Family Photos, Too?

No! We don't require you to get family photos or newborn photography services. If all you want is maternity photos, that's what we will do for you. However, many moms decide later that family photos are the next step for them. You can discuss everything with your maternity photographer when you arrive at the portrait studio.

Are you a Maternity Photographer or a Family Photographer?

I'm both and specialize in everything to do with families. A family photographer often deals with larger groups, such as both parents and the children. However, a maternity photographer primarily works with the mom-to-be and possibly the father. You can bring pets, children, and partners with you!

Should I Get Maternity Photos to Surprise My Husband on His Birthday?

Your husband's birthday is a time of celebration, and he's probably excited to bring a new addition into the family. Maternity photos can be a great present. You may want to "spoil the surprise" a little and ask him to come to the photo session or be a part of it!

I See Nude Photos on the Website, and I'm Not Comfortable with That. Can I Use You As My Maternity Photographer?

Many women like to have more intimate photos for the bedroom but put out fully-clothed ones in the nursery and to hand out to family members. If you're uncomfortable being nude, we can use bodysuits, fabrics, gowns and so many other items to help you feel relaxed.
