Capturing the Journey of Becoming a Mother


Maternity photography is about capturing your bump, your glow, and the love surrounding you right now – something worth preserving forever. I’ll guide you through every pose, making sure you feel relaxed and radiant, so we can create stunning portraits of this precious chapter that you’ll treasure for the rest of your life.

“Cristy Is an amazing photographer! She knows how to make you feel beyond comfortable in front of the camera when that is not your place of comfort. Her communication with you before and after the photo shoot is quick and effortless. She’s so easy to talk with. I would definitely book with her again.”

Why Choose Cristy Clauser Photography for Your Maternity Session?


I specialise in creating a serene and comfortable experience specifically for expectant mothers in Louisville and the surrounding area. My goal is not only to capture beautiful images of your bump, but to honour the incredible journey you are on – ensuring you feel celebrated, beautiful, and completely at ease from start to finish.

Maternity Session Prep

Your maternity session is a collaboration to celebrate your unique story. During our pre-session consultation, we’ll discuss your vision – from dreamy and ethereal to modern and intimate. We’ll talk about how to best feature your beautiful bump and choose outfits from my client closet that will drape and flatter your curves perfectly.

Day Of Styling

When you arrive, everything will be ready for you. I provide styling guidance, wardrobe suggestions from my client closet, and help you feel comfortable and confident. My goal is to capture your natural glow and the joy of this special time.

It’s Your Big Day

Do you envision the soft, intimate light of my Louisville studio, or the golden glow of a sunset in a beautiful local park? Either way, your comfort and safety are always the top priority. We’ll choose a setting that feels right for you and brings your vision to life.

The Big Reveal

Shortly after your session, you’ll be invited back for your personal viewing appointment – an emotional moment where you see your portraits for the first time. Together, we’ll select your favourites and design the perfect heirloom album or wall art to preserve these memories before your little one arrives.

“I’m so in love with my maternity photos that Cristy did. She went above and beyond at making me feel comfortable and made sure I had fun during the photoshoot. I also was pampered that day and got my hair and makeup done. I highly recommend Cristy for any of your photo needs. I definitely look forward to doing more business with her in the future.” – Loren Douglas

Hey, I’m Cristy! Louisville’s go-to Maternity photographer


I am so glad you stopped by the website! I just wanted to take a second to introduce myself. My name is Cristy and I have been doing this for about 10 years now. I started off working only with close friends and family, but that quickly changed with word of mouth. My passion quickly became my career and I can not be happier about that. Aside from creating stunning images and helping you feel gorgeous, my favorite part of all of this is getting to meet new people who I can now call friends. I would love to get to know you as well! If you are ready to talk, send me a message!  

A maternity session is more than just photos – it’s a celebration of the life you’re creating.

I promise to provide a pampering, stress-free experience where you feel seen, honoured, and beautiful. From styling your session to posing you in the most flattering way for your bump, every detail is handled so you can simply embrace this incredible moment.


“Cristy did a family session for my family of 4. She was so easy to work with and made us feel comfortable. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer.”
