Welcome to Ariel Dawn Photography, your trusted partner in preserving the most beautiful and fleeting moments of your journey into parenthood. From the anticipation of pregnancy to the joy of your newborn's arrival, we specialize in maternity and newborn photography that captures the essence of this magical chapter in your life.
Hello, I'm Ariel Dawn, your Bend, Oregon-based maternity and newborn photographer. I'm passionate about creating timeless and heartwarming images that tell the story of your family's growth. With a focus on emotion and connection, I'm here to help you celebrate this extraordinary time in your life.
Pregnancy is a remarkable journey, and your maternity session is a chance to capture the excitement and emotions you and your partner experience during this time. We recommend scheduling your maternity session between 30-36 weeks, depending on your comfort. Our maternity sessions provide a beautiful complement to your newborn photography, creating a complete narrative of your journey from bump to baby.
Book both maternity and newborn sessions together for a special bundled discount.
The arrival of your newborn is an unparalleled moment of joy, and we understand that these early days are precious and fleeting. Newborns change rapidly, so it's essential to schedule your session during the first ten days when they're at their sleepiest and most flexible. We'll capture your little one's innocence, sweetness, and charm in a way that will melt your heart every time you look back at the photos.

Get ready for your maternity photoshoot with this helpful guide on preparation. Drink plenty of water, have a light snack, and pack a bag with extra snacks and necessary items like touch-up makeup, hairspray, and a hairbrush. Choose comfortable shoes and bring a jacket or cardigan. Follow skincare tips to have healthy, glowing skin and consider professional hair and makeup or try a practice run with your hairstyle and makeup to feel confident and beautiful. Add a personal touch with hair accessories and choose a matte makeup look that defines your eyes, lips, and cheekbones. Use natural light when applying your makeup for the best results.
