The
wilmington MATERNITY photography
Experience
Before the sleepless nights and first cries, there’s this. A season of waiting, wondering, and growing. A slower kind of love story, unfolding one heartbeat at a time.
You’re already someone’s whole world — even if you haven’t met yet. And that deserves to be remembered.
Maternity photography sessions are a way to hold onto this chapter. To honor the beauty of what’s happening right now. I offer sessions that are calm, connected, and true to you — at home or in a place that feels like you.

MATERNITY SESSIONS
Say Hello! by filling out the contact form to share the vision for your maternity photography session. We'll chat over the phone and I will answer any questions or concerns you may have, as well as share all the important details. If we're a great fit, we'll then choose a date and your desired location and get you officially booked!
My maternity sessions typically last up to an hour. I recommend booking your session for when you are between 30-36 weeks. Immediate family and pets can be included. I highly recommend having someone come along to support your furry friends.
SAY HELLO!
Yay, it's official! Once your session is booked, you’ll get access to my private Client Lounge with everything you need to feel prepared and confident for your maternity photoshoot. It includes wardrobe tips, what to expect, and how to make the most of your maternity photography session. It’s designed to keep things easy and stress-free so you can focus on what matters most: your family.
PREP FOR YOUR SESSION
Come ready to have some fun and celebrate this beautiful and exciting time in your life! Make sure to bring water and a snack in case you get hungry. If at any time you need to rest and take a break, just listen to your body and let me know. There is no rush. The safety of you and your baby is of the utmost importance to me.
THE BIG DAY!
About 2-3 weeks after your session you will receive an email with a link to your private online gallery filled with your family’s beautiful heirlooms! You'll be able to easily download and share all of your images, and watch a beautiful music slideshow. Grab your tissues!
GALLERY DELIVERY
All Kristin Palkoner Photography families have access to my online shop where you have the opportunity to order high quality prints, albums and other beautiful heirloom products from my professional labs. You can do this on your own or we can set up a virtual call to help you make the best selections. I'm here to guide you throughout your entire experience.
PRINT ORDERING
"Words cannot describe how beautiful our pictures turned out."
Kristin did my maternity photos and our baby's newborn photos, and she exceeded my expectations. I can't recommend her enough! She creates a relaxed environment and we never felt rushed. We can't wait to have our next session when our daughter turns 1.

Custom Heirloom Prints
Why Printing Your Family Photos Matters
In a world where most of our photos live on phones or in cloud storage, it’s easy to let those precious images sit unseen. I’ve seen it happen time and again: families plan to print their images later, but life gets busy and it never makes it to the top of the list. (I am even guilty of this myself!)
But printing your photos matters. Studies show that children who see images of themselves with their family displayed in their home feel more confident and secure. It helps them feel seen, valued, and connected.
That’s why I continue to offer custom heirloom prints and albums, designed with care and delivered straight to you. You’ll get complimentary guidance on what to print, how to display it, and which options fit your space and style. These pieces are meant to be held, shared, and revisited—turning your memories into something you and your kids can see and feel every day.
get to know me
I always knew I wanted to be a mother, but I reached a point in my life where I wasn't sure it was going to happen. It was a time of deepest prayer and humility. After years of photographing other families celebrating the arrival of their little ones, as well as supporting expectant mothers during labor, delivery and after care of their newborns, my heart ached at the thought I wouldn't get to experience it first-hand.
But trusting in God's plan for our family at just the right time unfolded in the most beautiful way and in 2020 we welcomed our son into our family.
I know how important and exciting this time is for you, and I am honored to get the opportunity to document some of your first moments together with your growing family.
I COULDN'T WAIT TO BE A MOM, BUT IT DIDN'T HAPPEN RIGHT AWAY...
