Maternity Photography in Roanoke, Virginia
Pregnancy is a chapter unlike any other — filled with anticipation, joy, and the quiet moments in between. At Liz Cook Photography, I specialize in creating timeless maternity portraits that celebrate both the beauty of motherhood and the deep love you feel for your growing family.
Whether you imagine an elegant studio session or dreamy golden-hour images against the breathtaking backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains, my goal is to make your Roanoke maternity photography experience personal, comfortable, and truly unforgettable.
“Liz did an amazing job with my maternity and newborn pictures. I absolutely loved every single one of the photos. She made everything so seamless with both photo sessions. Liz has a stylist that comes to do your makeup and hair at her studio before your photo session and you also get to use her wardrobe for your photos. Because let’s be honest, when you’re pregnant and just had a newborn baby no mother wants to think of those things. Liz is so easy to work with she makes everyone feel so comfortable and really knows how to engage even with the youngest of your family (toddler) to help get a great photo. I love how Liz pays attention to every little detail in her photos to capture the love within a family. I can’t wait to work with her in the future.”
Why Choose a Professional Maternity Photographer In Roanoke?
Your pregnancy is brief but significant, and professional photography ensures you can hold onto this season forever. A maternity photographer’s role goes beyond creating beautiful images — it’s about providing a supportive, encouraging space where you feel confident and celebrated.
With nearly two decades of experience, I’ve worked with countless mothers and families throughout Virginia. My approach combines artistry with care, capturing authentic moments that reflect both your glow and your story.
When to Book Your Maternity Session
The best time to reserve your maternity session is during your second trimester, with photos ideally scheduled between 32–36 weeks of pregnancy. At this stage, your belly has a beautiful shape, yet you’re still comfortable enough to relax and enjoy the process.
Booking early guarantees your spot on my calendar and gives us time to plan wardrobe, locations, and the little details that make your session feel like you.
