Maternity Portraits

While those nine months may feel long, children grow and flourish before you know it—walking, talking, and revealing their own beautiful personalities.

My home is graced with timeless portraits from my own maternity and early family sessions, each one a reminder of those intimate, unforgettable moments.

Every image takes me back to the anticipation, the excitement, and the profound joy of welcoming our newborn into the world.

New York City and Westchester’s finest family photographer for unforgettable, artful memories.

We have done three photo shoots with Priyanca over the last couple of years. A couples shoot, a maternity session and more recently a family photo shoot. All of them gave us incredibly beautiful photos. She has an amazing eye for the surrounding environment which she often creatively incorporates into her pictures. She will not hesitate to lie down on a busy sidewalk in Manhattan to give you that perfect NYC shot.
Capturing the essence of NYC is one of her greatest skills. She is also charming and funny and easily makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. My husband and I were not the type to print/frame photos (not even our wedding photos!) but the only ones on display in our living room are those taken by Priyanca. She will always be our photographer!

FAQ

How would you describe your photography style?

At Priyanca Rao Photography, NYC maternity sessions are an elegant celebration of life, beauty, and anticipation. As a premier NYC maternity photographer, I blend luxury portraiture with natural, effortless storytelling, guiding rather than posing to reveal authentic, radiant moments. Whether in your home, a curated studio, or a serene outdoor setting, I focus on timeless composition, soft luminous tones, and exquisite lighting to showcase your glow and intimate connections. Each session creates heirloom-quality portraits, capturing this extraordinary chapter with sophistication and grace. These images are more than photos—they are timeless keepsakes of welcoming your little one.

How long have you been in business? What is the history?

We have been photographing maternity photos for over a decade. We also have first hand experience at the studio raising our own kids, and understand the journey of parenthood. Whether it is maternity photos or of your ever growing kids, we enjoy capturing these stories.

What distinguishes your work from that of other photographers?

Our photos are as colorful, loud, bold and unique as your family! They show movement, energy and layers of stories. We leave plenty of time for the session, outfit changes and walking requires patience. These photos are made to be displayed in an album and share your unique story.

What type of equipment do you use?

We use all Pro Fujifilm with prime lenses along with back up cameras. Our Pro lenses are very sharp and give a nice shallow depth of field that make your pictures look dreamy. We also carry professional lighting for indoor and outdoor photography.

Do you share all the raw files after an event?

No, because we can do better than raws! When you book us you are paying for our professional set of eyes that is trained to only pick the best of the best. We will send you a selection gallery and you can pick the photos that you want to purchase based on the photo package you want.
