Maternity session · Nashville
In short
Maternity session in Nashville starts at $350: 75 min on location with a photographer who works in Nashville, and 35 edited photos delivered to a private gallery within 5 business days.
Why choose Maternity session in Nashville?
Maternity photography in Nashville is a 75-minute session, outdoors, in a studio or at home, that returns 35 retouched images of the mother alone and with partner and siblings, priced from $350. The Nashville due date decides the setting more than taste does. A session in April, May or October can go into gardens and woodland, while a July or August session at 30 or more weeks pregnant in Middle Tennessee humidity is kept short outdoors or moved inside. Booking the session around the 30th week, rather than the season, is what forces that choice.

FAQ — Maternity session in Nashville
Can I book a maternity session at Cheekwood in Nashville?
Yes. Cheekwood Estate and Gardens accepts pregnancy portrait sessions booked through its Special Events Office, in two-hour slots between 9am and 5pm, at least 72 hours ahead and never on a Monday, when Cheekwood is closed. Check the current session fee with Cheekwood before booking, since it is set by Cheekwood and changes.
Is summer too hot for an outdoor maternity session in Nashville?
Often, yes, for a session after 30 weeks. Nashville maternity sessions in July and August are best kept to the last hour of daylight outdoors, or held at home or in a studio, because Middle Tennessee summer humidity is hard on a heavily pregnant client in a gown. April, May and October suit an outdoor Nashville maternity session far better.
