Why Every Mom Deserves to Be in the Frame — with Tabitha Baldwin at Jax Mini Sessions Studio

If you’re pregnant and living in Jacksonville, Florida, or nearby areas like Nocatee, St. Johns, Jacksonville Beach, Neptune Beach, Atlantic Beach, Ponte Vedra, or St. Augustine — it’s time to prioritize you for a change.

As a Jacksonville mom of three, I’m going to say something I wish someone had said to me:
Book the maternity session. Don’t wait. Don’t overthink it. Just do it.

When I was pregnant with my three children, I never booked a maternity session — and to this day, it’s one of my biggest regrets. I would give anything to have beautiful, timeless portraits of that short and powerful season of life. That’s why I’ve made it my mission at Jax Mini Sessions Studio to help other moms do what I didn’t — and feel confident, celebrated, and seen during this once-in-a-lifetime moment.

🌿 Why In-Studio Maternity Photography Is Perfect for Jacksonville Moms

Here in Northeast Florida, we know the weather isn’t always on our side — especially if you’re 30 weeks pregnant and melting in the heat.

That’s where our air-conditioned, light-filled studio comes in.
Located right here in Jacksonville, Jax Mini Sessions Studio is the perfect place for expecting moms from Ponte Vedra, Nocatee, St. Johns, and surrounding areas to relax, cool down, and create stunning maternity portraits — without worrying about the weather, bugs, or mud.

Our space includes:

  • A cozy bedroom setup perfect for soft, intimate images
  • A styled living room scene with neutral tones
  • An office desk area for lifestyle/brand style moms
  • A kitchen island and clean backdrops for editorial vibes
  • A changing room, and plenty of refreshments for a comfortable experience

Plus, with soft natural light and creative studio lighting options, we can tailor the look and feel of your session to your personal style — whether you want something elegant, relaxed, glam, or cozy.

🤍 Maternity Portraits That Make You Feel Beautiful

I know what it’s like to feel unsure in front of the camera, especially during pregnancy. Your body is changing, you’re carrying so much emotionally and physically, and it’s easy to put everyone else first.

That’s where I come in.

As a professional maternity photographer in Jacksonville, FL, I specialize in:

  • Guided posing that flatters every body
  • Soft, natural expressions (no stiff or awkward vibes)
  • Thoughtful lighting and angles
  • Editing that enhances your beauty without making you look overdone

Whether it’s your first baby or your fifth, you’ll leave with photos that capture the love, power, and softness of this season — and you’ll be so glad you did it.

📸 Types of Maternity Sessions Offered

✨ Individual Maternity Portraits

Just you and that beautiful baby bump. These sessions are a chance to connect with your body and celebrate all it’s doing. We’ll focus on dreamy, empowering portraits with a mix of full-body, detail shots, and relaxed poses that show the real you.

💑 Couples Maternity Portraits

Your partner is part of this journey too — and we love documenting that connection. These sessions include photos of you together, as well as individual shots of you alone. Whether you want something romantic or playful, we’ll capture it all.

👨‍👩‍👧 Family Maternity Portraits (with the Kids!)

Including your children in your maternity session is such a beautiful way to celebrate your growing family. We’ll create sweet, interactive images of the kids hugging your belly, reading to the baby, and cuddling with you — plus solo images of just you as well.

📆 When to Book Your Maternity Session

I highly recommend booking your maternity portraits between 28–32 weeks. By this stage, your belly is round and beautiful, but you’re likely still feeling relatively comfortable and mobile.

Want to look and feel extra amazing?
Hair and makeup can be added to your session at a discounted rate through my preferred partner, Curl Wink Blush — a talented local team who specializes in soft glam that photographs beautifully. You’ll feel pampered, confident, and ready to shine.

👗 What to Wear for Your Studio Maternity Session

Don’t stress about wardrobe — I’ll help guide you!
Some of the most flattering pieces for studio maternity photos include:

  • Flowy maxi dresses
  • Form-fitting midi dresses that highlight the bump
  • Robes or oversized cardigans for cozy bed shots
  • Neutral tones (creams, soft pinks, earth tones)
  • Bonus points for textures like knits, gauze, and lace

Couples and families should coordinate without being matchy — think soft, complementary colors and clean, classic outfits. Avoid bright logos or patterns that distract from your faces and the connection between you.
