specializing in studio maternity
inland empire Maternity Photographer
I specialize in maternity photography that honors the beauty of pregnancy and early motherhood. Here in the Inland Empire, California, each session is designed to feel calm, elevated, and personal, with a modern, in studio style approach.
As a mom to be, this season is both tender and transformative. I guide you gently so you feel comfortable and confident, allowing real connection to unfold without feeling overly posed.
The result is a collection of timeless images that reflect the strength, softness, and anticipation of this chapter, preserving the beginning of your story as a mother.

Her first pregnancy
Meghan’s maternity session was centered around the quiet beauty of her first pregnancy. As a mom to be, she wanted something timeless and refined, with space to fully take in this new season of motherhood. Her gallery reflects not only the anticipation of meeting her baby, but the connection between generations.
As a second-time mom, Lydia’s session was all about celebrating her baby girl after welcoming a boy first.
Styled in soft, feminine tones, her portraits capture the love and joy of this new chapter—timeless memories for her growing family.

Once you fill out the form below, we’ll hop on a quick phone call to get to know each other a bit better. This is where I learn more about your family, your vision for the session, and what matters most to you. I’ll walk you through how my process works, answer any questions you have, and help you decide if we’re a great fit. It’s relaxed, friendly, and designed to set you at ease from the very beginning.
1. Say Hello
2. The Consultation
Next, we’ll meet in person. You will get to see where the magic happens in my studio. During this consultation, we’ll plan the session together. We’ll go through my client closet and choose your outfits, talk about your families wardrobe options and how you’d love to display your images in your home. I’ll show you artwork samples, investment details, and help you start dreaming about what your finished pieces will look like.
Your maternity session is all about celebrating the incredible beauty of this season in your life. Whether we’re outdoors at golden hour or in the comfort of my studio, I’ll guide you through gentle, flattering poses that highlight your glow and connection with your baby. We’ll take our time, making space for quiet moments, shared laughter, and any special details you want to include—like your partner, older siblings, or meaningful items. My goal is for you to feel radiant, relaxed, and deeply seen during this session.
3. The Session
About 1–2 weeks after your session, we’ll meet again for your ordering appointment. I’ll reveal your beautiful gallery and help you choose your favorite images. From there, I’ll guide you through selecting the perfect artwork for your home—whether it’s a custom album, a wall gallery, or gift prints for family. You won’t have to make a single decision alone; I’ll be right there to make it easy and enjoyable.
4. The Ordering Appointment
Once your artwork is handcrafted and ready, I’ll let you know it’s time for pickup! This is one of my favorite moments—seeing you hold your memories in your hands, knowing they’ll be cherished for years to come. Everything will be beautifully packaged and ready to enjoy, with installation guidance or help available if needed. It’s the final step in the process, but the beginning of a lifetime of joy every time you pass your photos on the wall.
5. Bringing It All Home
Creation fees begin at $195 and include your planning, time in the studio, access to wardrobe and styling, and your ordering appointment. Artwork and digital images are selected and purchased separately.
These sessions are designed to create something lasting. Not just images to keep on your phone, but pieces you can see, hold, and live with in your home.
Collections begin at $590, with most clients investing between eight hundred and four thousand dollars depending on how they choose to preserve their images. I offer a range of heirloom products including wall art, albums, and matted portraits, all paired with matching digital files.

"Kaitlyn did our maternity and newborn photos, and we are obsessed with all the photos! Made it hard to choose, which means she is doing her job right?! She instantly made us feel comfortable during the maternity photos, which was nice since my family does not normally take professional photos. During the newborn photos, she handled our baby girl with so much care. Made us feel safe to put her in Kaitlyn’s hands during the photoshoot. Both sessions were a fun-filled, positive-vibe photoshoot, and I would go back to Kaitlyn for all my photography needs! Highly recommend!"

"I cannot recommend Kaitlyn Dawn Photography enough! From the moment I stepped into the studio, I felt so comfortable and beautiful. Kaitlyn guided me through every pose, making sure I looked and felt my best. The entire experience was so special, and seeing my images for the first time brought tears to my eyes. The quality of the portraits and the stunning wall art options she offers made it easy to choose pieces that will forever remind me of this incredible journey. If you're looking for timeless maternity portraits, this is the place to go!"
