FAQ About Maternity Photos
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.

The Transformation
Meet Erica
From the moment she arrived, everything shifted. She stepped into a space thoughtfully designed just for her to feel special. Our hair and makeup artists enhanced her natural beauty, while our stylist provided a pampering, professional experience from start to finish.
During the shoot, we gently guided Erica and her husband to comfortable in front of the camera, so they could relax, connect, and truly enjoy the experience together. We captures photos in studio and where they went on their first date- a bar in West Village.
She left with more than photographs. She left with heirloom album that contains all her beautiful photos from her session.
Priyanca is a one in a million photographer. I was wowed by her genuineness, her talent, her professionalism, her eye for a great shot, and her creative nature. She made my fiance and I feel so incredibly comfortable during our photoshoot. She is fantastic and we are soooo thankful that we decided to choose her!

We were visiting New York from Australia and Priyanca arranged for a hair and make up artist to come to our hotel to get me dolled up for our shoot. She also brought me a dress to wear for it. We got the most amazing photos for our engagement shoot. Thanks so much Priyanca!
