This season is worth remembering
Pregnancy is one of the most fleeting chapters of your life — and one of the most visually extraordinary. At Refract, we approach maternity sessions the same way we approach every body of work: with intention, patience, and a deep respect for the light. We come to you, on location, and we let the moment unfold naturally.
How we work
We shoot on location throughout the DMV — parks, urban settings, waterfront, or wherever holds meaning for you.
Gentle, unhurried posing guidance so you feel at ease in front of the camera — not stiff, not performative.
Every image is edited in our signature film-inspired style — warm, cinematic, and timeless rather than trendy.
When to book: We recommend scheduling your session between 28 and 34 weeks. Your bump is beautifully prominent, and you will still be comfortable enough to move and enjoy the experience. That said, we are flexible — reach out and we will work around your timeline.
