Charleston Maternity Photographer
Glowing Mom To Be
The beauty of bringing a life into the world is visibly tangible on a mother-to-be. The glow that a pregnant mother exudes is a bit of a mystery but a special moment to capture and share with those you love, and one day, even your little one.
This is quite literally a once-in-a-liftime opportunity to capture the joy and anticipation of your new arrival, which makes it extra special. Husband and wife as well as siblings and even pets can be included in your maternity shoot as you celebrate and share this treasured moment in time as a family.


Embrace the moment and share it with those
that mean the most to you.

We have used Chris for all our family photos starting with our engagement going into our wedding and then doing both our maternity shoots. We plan on using him for all our future photos for our growing family! We wouldn’t recommend anyone else! Thank you so so much for being the best photographer, person, and professional. Can’t wait to book our next session! 🙂

Amazing photographer! He makes the entire shoot feel so natural and comfortable. Being pregnant is not always the best circumstance for feeling comfortable in front of a camera but he has a way of making you feel beautiful with every shot. So patient and a great eye for lighting and scenery, he definitely makes the experience fun! Would recommend C.S Nelson Photography to anyone looking to get some incredible pictures!

Had the pleasure of working with Chris today for my family maternity shoot and it was amazing! He was so professional and made my husband and son and I feel very comfortable. We had a great time taking them. I love his work and I will definitely be using him for all of my photography needs in the future!

Maternity Photography FAQ’s
Generally around 30-36 weeks, but every mother is different. This time is a sweet spot as it can capture the roundness of the belly while ensuring the safety and comfort level of the mom-to-be. If you feel you are growing faster than expected, by all means we can schedule it sooner!
