"That was so much fun, I haven't even seen the pictures yet and I can't wait to tell everyone I know!"
-Thristian

What if it were easy to get the epic maternity pictures of your dreams?

The artist behind Daydreamer Photography and a mom of three. For 15 years, I’ve photographed people in the moments when they forget about the camera. Motherhood has only made me notice more: the way your husband keeps loving watch, the way your toddler leans into you, the laugh you’d recognize anywhere.

 

I’ll find the light and gently guide you along. You get to spend time with your favorite people or show off just how incredible you are all on your own. Even if you don't feel quite like you're glowing, even if getting dolled up sounds impossible, you're going to want to remember this.

 

Let's freeze time in a way that makes you feel as epic as this journey is.

Hi, I'm Sandra!

A Little Adventure · 30 Minutes

 

15 Images - Step away from the everyday and into beautiful light with your favorite people. Playful directions, arms wrapped around each other, and little discoveries along the way—a pocket of time that becomes something you’ll keep.

 

Room to Wander · One Hour

 

30 Images - Let the evening unfold. Time for the shy smile to become a belly laugh, for little hands to find treasures, for everyone to settle into being themselves. We’ll follow the light and your family’s curiosity, making photographs full of the things you love about them.

 

The Whole Story · Two Hours

 

60 Images - Give yourselves an evening worth remembering. Time to wander farther, linger somewhere beautiful, and follow a little adventure wherever it leads. From the start of golden hour to the end of blue hour, and maybe even into the stars.

"Thank you again for coming out to our Airbnb for pictures. You took great shots! I feel like we'll see you again next year at the same spot! We loved it that much!"
-Colton

How it Works

What working together feels like — from first hello to final gallery.


1. Pick Your Day!

​The logistics are simple and streamlined — electronic contracts, invoices, and clear communication. Choose a day, pay the deposit, sign your contract.

 

2. Plan Together

Email, phone, coffee date? Let's iron out the details and get to know each other a little! Not up for small talk? I just need to know when, where, and how many people.

​

3. Adjust for weather

Heart set on a sunny sunset? Worried about rain? As your date approaches, I confirm details and adjust time and dates for weather. 

 

4. The Main Event

I arrive early, read the light, and move with your rhythm. My approach is documentary with intention — minimal direction, quiet guidance when needed, and full attention on connection and atmosphere.

 

5. Heirloom Memories

You’ll receive a small sneak peek within 24 hours. Then scroll your flip-book style gallery, moving through the session like a fine art stop-animation, follows in 2-3 weeks, carefully edited and ready to relive. Albums and heirloom prints are available directly through your gallery.
