I was so honored to have Lady M back in the studio for her Colorado Studio Maternity Session. I worked with her last year for her boudoir & we definitely bonded a bit.
Y’all should know by now that Colorado Studio Maternity is quickly becoming a favorite. And I love it even more when it’s a repeat client! I shot Lady M’s boudoir experience at the end of 2021 & just fell in love with her. She has the kind of energy that effortlessly draws you in & makes you feel warm & welcome. So you know I did a happy dance when she booked her maternity session with me.
Just like her boudoir session (even though she left feeling like a damn goddess) she was a little nervous before her maternity session. Understandable so, I think no matter what kinda of photo session someones has – you get nervous! This is her first pregnancy & with her body changing so much she just wasn’t sure how to feel. Emotions ALL around & during her reveal, once image took her own breath away.
She started crying & shared with me how powerful & strong it made her feel. That seeing herself captured like this helped connect her to her pregnancy. We had a moment, again. I can’t thank her enough for trusting me & being so open + honest with me for her Colorado studio maternity session.

“She did it again! To say MacKenzie is talented would be a gross understatement. The chick has superpowers, I kid you not. I did a boudoir session with her last August and then was surprised gifted a boudoir maternity shoot with her last week. Pregnancy has been relatively great, healthy…but wow, has my body transformed. And while others have advised me to embrace it, love it, be grateful for it…I’ve sort of avoided mirrors and iPhone cameras the past few months. So you can imagine how nervous I was…and truly how skeptical I was that MacKenzie would be able to pull this off, to come even close to what she accomplished with my first session. And yet, she nailed it. I mean like hit it out of the park. We’ve had several tragic or stressful life events happen in the past few months, so pregnancy has been sort of an afterthought and I’ve felt guilty about it, wishing I had been more present, more grateful, more focused on the experience. I can’t get that time back, but I now have the most authentic, artistic, raw depictions of that experience, of what it felt like to carry my first son. I will cherish these photos forever, and am so unbelievably grateful I took the plunge, bared my transformed body, and let MacKenzie do what she does best. If you’re considering a boudoir maternity shoot, I highly recommend it. It’s the best $ I’ve spent, and I can’t wait to see the final products.”
