Paris, Texas Maternity Photographer
Warm, artistic and emotionally meaningful maternity portraits at KLP Studio and outdoor locations throughout North Texas & beyond.
Celebrating the Beautiful Beginning of Something New
Pregnancy can feel long while you’re living it—and impossibly brief once it’s over.
Your changing body, the anticipation, the tiny movements and the connection already forming between you and your baby are all part of a chapter worth remembering.
Kristin LaRue Photography creates warm, artistic and emotionally meaningful maternity portraits in Paris, Texas, both in-studio and on location.
Photographing the people you love since 2008.
A Maternity Experience Designed Around You
Your maternity session includes guidance from beginning to end.
I’ll help you plan:
- The best time to schedule your session
- Studio or outdoor location options
- Clothing, color and styling choices
- Flattering posing and comfortable movement
- Partner and sibling participation
- Meaningful details or sentimental items
- Artwork and images you’ll want to preserve
You do not need to know how to pose or feel completely confident in front of the camera. That’s my job.
I’ll guide you through each step while creating a comfortable environment where you can relax, connect and feel beautiful.
Choose Your Maternity Experience
Maternity portraits may be booked as either a Mini Session or a Full Session, depending on how much time and variety you want.
Both options include planning assistance, posing guidance, an online gallery and print rights.
Every selected photograph is delivered in both color and black-and-white.

- Up to 30 minutes
- One location

A Mini Session is ideal for one carefully planned look, a smaller finished gallery or a combination of individual maternity portraits and a few photographs with your partner or children.
Full Maternity Session —$450 plus tax
The Full Maternity Session gives us more time, variety and freedom to tell the complete story of this season.
Your Full Session includes:

Studio or Outdoor Maternity Portraits
Studio maternity portraits offer privacy, comfort and complete control over lighting. KLP Studio is perfect for creating clean, intimate portraits as well as the dramatic, richly styled images Kristin LaRue Photography is known for. Studio sessions are also a wonderful option when Texas weather refuses to cooperate.
When Should You Schedule Maternity Pictures?
Most maternity sessions are photographed between approximately 28 and 34 weeks of pregnancy.
During this window, your baby bump is typically well defined while you may still feel comfortable enough to move, pose and enjoy the experience.
Every pregnancy is different. If you’re expecting multiples, have medical considerations or anticipate delivering early, scheduling sooner may be recommended.
The best time to reserve your session is during your second trimester so we can plan your date, location and wardrobe without rushing.
If you’re already farther along, please reach out anyway. I may still have availability.
What Should You Wear?
The best wardrobe is one that makes you feel comfortable, confident and true to yourself.
Depending on the look you want, maternity sessions may include:
- A flowing maternity gown
- A fitted dress that highlights your baby bump
- A simple bodysuit or fabric-draped look
- Jeans with a neutral top
- A romantic or dramatic studio wardrobe
- Coordinating outfits with your partner or children
- A meaningful accessory or heirloom
You don’t need to match everyone perfectly. Coordinating colors, textures and tones usually creates a more natural and polished result.
We’ll discuss wardrobe before your session so your clothing complements the location, lighting and overall style.
A Maternity Mini is best suited for one carefully planned look.
A Full Maternity Session provides more time for wardrobe variety, depending on the locations and overall session plan.
