What does a maternity session mean to Little Legacies Studio?
This is a beautifully layered question and one we take to heart. At Little Legacies Studio in Tempe, Arizona, just minutes from Phoenix, we specialize in maternity photography that honors the beauty, strength, and grace of motherhood. Our full-service studio is designed to make this experience effortless and luxurious for every expecting mother.

As a mom myself, I understand the chaos that can come with pregnancy especially when you’re juggling older children, work, and a growing to-do list. The idea of planning maternity photos may feel overwhelming. Where will you find a maternity gown that fits your growing bump? When will you have time to shop? Will you even feel confident enough to be in front of the camera?

That’s where we come in.

A Full-Service Maternity Photography Experience

At Little Legacies Studio, we take care of everything for you so that you don’t have to lift a finger. Our Tempe studio is centrally located, making it easy to access for families in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, Queen Creek, Ahwatukee, Paradise Valley, Peoria, and Goodyear.

We begin every maternity photography session with a personal consultation. This is where we dive deep into your vision whether you’re dreaming of an ethereal goddess inspired shoot, a glamorous studio vibe, or timeless family portraits. Our goal is to create images that speak to your unique story.

Couture Gowns & Professional Glam

One of the biggest concerns expectant mothers share with us is wardrobe. That’s why we’ve built a curated client closet with over 200 couture maternity gowns in every color, texture, and style imaginable. Each gown is chosen with care to flatter your pregnant curves and elevate your look.

But we don’t stop there. Every session includes professional hair and makeup, provided by one of the best artists in the Phoenix Valley. With years of experience, our artist understands how to match skin tones perfectly and create stunning hairstyles that make you feel like the most radiant version of yourself.

Including Your Family in the Magic

Your maternity session isn’t just about you it’s about your whole family. That’s why we encourage you to bring your spouse, children, and even grandparents if you’d like. We want your images to reflect the love that surrounds your baby before they’re even born.

We’ve also stocked our wardrobe with gowns for little girls, so that your daughter can match you in harmony without the stress of shopping. Every detail is handled with intention, so you can focus on what really matters: making memories.

A Seamless Transition from Maternity to Newborn Photography

One of the most meaningful features of working with Little Legacies Studio is how we help you carry your story from pregnancy to postpartum. Many of our clients choose to use the same gowns or color themes from their maternity session during their newborn photography session, creating a beautiful visual journey that connects both milestones.

As a newborn photographer in Phoenix, I understand how fleeting those first days can be. Your maternity photos capture the anticipation; your newborn photos preserve the miracle of life just beginning. Together, they tell your family’s love story one that will be cherished for generations.

Why Booking Early Matters

We always recommend booking your maternity photography session early ideally around 28–34 weeks. This window allows us to plan every detail and ensures you have the energy and mobility to fully enjoy the experience. It also secures your spot, as our schedule fills up quickly especially with moms coming from all over the Phoenix metro area including Chandler, Scottsdale, and Gilbert.

Waiting too long can lead to missed opportunities not just for maternity photos but for a seamless transition into newborn photography. Babies tend to arrive on their own schedule, and planning ahead ensures we have everything lined up before the big day.

More Than Just Pictures—It’s Your Legacy

At Little Legacies Studio, we don’t just take photos we preserve legacies. Every image we capture is infused with emotion, elegance, and the stories that make your family unique. These photos will not only grace your home but will also be passed down through generations.

Your maternity and newborn sessions are about more than looking beautiful (though you absolutely will) they’re about celebrating life, love, and the moments that matter most.
