The Maternity Experience

Obsessed! Is one word with which you could describe my love for maternity photography. What the female body is capable of is nothing short of a miracle. Let's freeze this moment in time so you can look back at the beauty of your changing body, long after your kids are grown. I will guide you through posing and styling to create stunning art, that is you.  As the premier studio maternity photographer in Klamath Falls, my goal is to bring fine art maternity portraits to this little corner of our state. 

Capturing the beauty in your changing body

Let me know your due date! I recommend that we schedule your maternity session when you are between 30-35 weeks pregnant, to capture a nice round bump, while you still have some energy and averting risk of missing your session due to early labor.

1. Say Hello

2. Planning for your Session

I will send you a session prep guide that will guide you on what type of outfit options to bring for any other family members who are participating in the portrait session. You have full access to my client closet that includes a large selection of gowns (S-L), robes (S-XL) bodysuits and tops. If you have any special wardrobe pieces you would like to include feel free to bring them, other than that all you have to bring is undergarments.

3. The session

Maternity sessions take place in my home studio. This allows me to create a diverse image gallery for you with different lighting and multiple outfit changes. Most maternity sessions last 1-2 hours allowing us to have some fun "playing dress-up." I always include your partner or other children, but the focus is truly on you and the amazing thing your body is doing.

4. After the session

You will receive a soft-edited proofing gallery within 1 week of your session. From this you will choose your favorites. These are the images that I will fully "polish" to create art pieces commemorating this special time in your life. I will deliver your final images to you via digital download gallery, within 2 weeks of you making your selections.

5. your photographs

Portraits aren't meant to live on a hard-drive or social media. PLEASE PRINT YOUR IMAGES!  They are tangible memories, and art meant to be shared for generations. All of my image collections contain some prints and or photographic products, but for your convenience, your gallery is also linked with a professional quality photo-lab, through which you can order prints or products. I recommend hanging maternity portraits in your bedroom, master bathroom or your baby's nursery. Hardbound albums are my favorite way to share portraits, as you don't have to worry about where to hang them, and they can be passed on to the next generation.

We had the best experience with Mariel! Very cozy environment, she put a lot of effort into getting the best shots and ensuring our little one was comfortable. The images look beautiful and very professional and we received them in a timely manner. Highly recommend, she is worth every penny! - Jessica Wright

It’s very clear that Mariel is a dedicated photographer. She puts the safety of the clients first. Her images are truly a work of art as she puts much love in all she does. I have had both my maternity and newborn photos taken in her cozy studio. I’m very happy that she captured these precious moments.  -Deserea Smith

Mariel is an incredible photographer with an artistic eye that impresses me every time we have a session with her. Her style is timeless and she is kind and patient (especially with our little one). She has a great little studio with perfect props and outfits. Questions are always answered quickly, and the proofs are ready for review before you know it. Mariel has done our mother and baby photos, our family photos, and our baby's one year old and cake smash and bath photos. I look forward to future sessions with her. - Aubrey Schmid

We had a shoot with Mariel to get some newborn shots of our twin boys. They were two months old, a little late for typical newborn shots but Mariel was still able to get them in the most precious posed (I have no idea how). The pictures came out beautifully, better than I could have hoped for. She's also a sweet person and made us feel so comfortable during our shoot. We will schedule with her again and couldn’t recommend her more to others.  - Lacey Lee

Can’t recommend Mariel enough! We first met when we had newborn photos done. We were so happy with the experience that there was no question we would have her do our baby’s one year birthday/cake smash photos as well. We have also had family photos with her! Mariel was so gentle and patient with our baby and made us feel so comfortable during our sessions. All of our photos are stunning - we get so many compliments from family and friends. My only regret is not finding her sooner and having maternity photos with her! Klamath Falls is very lucky to have such a talented photographer in the area.  -  Sarah Girardi

"Mariel was an excellent choice for our wedding! She made me feel absolutely beautiful on the wedding day and I had a lot of fun taking the bridal shots with her. She made me feel at ease and comfortable. She knew what she was doing and was creative in the way she used our venue to capture the essence of the wedding. She was fully capable of wrangling all our family members and keeping us on time- never an easy feat! We received a preview of the wedding pictures a few weeks after our wedding in the form of a slide-show to music that Mariel had created. Talk about a bonus! Both my husband and I cried when we saw how beautiful the pictures were and how Mariel had captured our day so well with all our family and friends. She is pure magic! We recently received all the edited pictures and are incredibly happy with them! I am looking forward to getting those magical and ethereal pictures on the walls! Thank you, Mariel, for your fine and excellent craftsmanship. ~ Elise Palm

Mariel is our go to photographer for all our family photos. She is incredibly adaptable which is critical when capturing memorable moments with 3 kids under 4 years old. Our family feels comfortable with her, she brings a sense of ease to coax those little personalities to translate on camera. We are also impressed with her keen eye during post production, photos are polished without looking fabricated. We highly recommend her and are very excited to welcome her to our community. - Rejeana Jackson

I live six hours away from my wedding venue. I had to make all arrangements over the phone, needless to say that was nerve wracking. Upon meeting Mariel, on my wedding day, I was immediately put at ease. I was so impressed with Mariel’s professionalism, go with the flow attitude, and her engagement with my family and friends. She was so easy to work with and very accommodating. She did not miss a special moment and the quality of her photos is impressive. I would highly recommend her.   - Kati Baker
