Maternity session · Denver
In short
Maternity session in Denver starts at $350: 75 min on location with a photographer who works in Denver, and 35 edited photos delivered to a private gallery within 5 business days.
Why choose Maternity session in Denver?
A maternity session in Denver is a 75-minute portrait session, best between 28 and 34 weeks, that delivers 35 retouched photographs, priced from $350. Denver adds one consideration a sea-level city does not: at 5,280 feet, pregnancy and thin air together make a hike to a foothill overlook harder work than it looks. The strongest Denver maternity locations are therefore flat, shaded and close to parking. A flowing dress against the 24 acres of the Denver Botanic Gardens at York Street needs no climb at all.
Worth knowing about Denver
The Denver Botanic Gardens sells a one-time portrait permit for 1 to 6 people at $150 for non-members and $125 for members, valid for one session of up to two hours. Requests go online at least one week ahead and no more than a month ahead. Its photo policy also bans nudity, swimsuits and lingerie, and florist-cut flowers or petals, so an implied-nude or sheer-fabric maternity look belongs in a studio or at home rather than at either Gardens location.

FAQ — Maternity session in Denver
Can we do maternity photos at the Denver Botanic Gardens?
Yes, with a portrait permit bought from the Denver Botanic Gardens in advance: $150 for non-members or $125 for members, for 1 to 6 people and up to two hours, requested at least one week and at most a month ahead. A maternity session there must use clothed looks — the Gardens’ photo policy bars nudity, swimsuits and lingerie.
Is a foothills maternity session in Denver a good idea?
Only at a location with a short, level walk from the car. A Denver maternity session in the third trimester at 7,000 feet or higher means thinner air on top of the pregnancy, so foothills frames are chosen within a few minutes of parking. Washington Park and the Denver Botanic Gardens give greenery at city altitude with no climb.
