Pregnancy is a season worth celebrating. As your body changes and you prepare to welcome new life, maternity portraits allow you to pause and honor the beauty of this chapter.
At Amanda Knowles Photography, I specialize in fine art maternity photography near Charlotte, NC, creating timeless, editorial portraits that celebrate the strength, elegance, and glow of motherhood. Our luxury studio is located on 13 acres in Marshville, NC.
There are endless options for a stunning maternity session you’ll never forget – in studio or outdoor, casual or glamorous, the whole family or just mama. We’ll work together to design an amazing experience you’ll cherish for a lifetime. Even better, your photos are typically ready for you within two weeks for you to view in person for the first time!! Maternity photo sessions fill up quickly, and it is always best to connect with me as soon as possible for an appointment.
Check for Availability
Your maternity portraits are more than just photos—they’re heirlooms. They remind you of the incredible journey your body took, and they become a gift your child will one day treasure.
Whether you prefer a soft, natural glow outdoors or an elegant fine art studio session, I’ll create images that reflect your story and style.
The ideal time to schedule your maternity session is between 28–34 weeks of pregnancy. During this window, your baby bump is beautifully defined, and you’re still comfortable enough to move and pose with ease.
Tip: Book your session early (around 20 weeks) to ensure availability on my calendar.
