Maternity Portrait Gallery by Michelle Sadee Photography in St. Albert

Before your baby arrives, there is this season — quieter, slower, and filled with anticipation for the life that is about to change everything.

Studio maternity portraits allow the focus to remain simple and intentional: your growing connection, the excitement, and the beauty of motherhood as it unfolds. With soft light and a relaxed atmosphere, sessions are designed to feel calm, comfortable, and effortless.

These portraits are about more than documenting how this season looked. They capture the feeling of it — the anticipation, the tenderness, and the quiet moments before you finally meet your baby. The way your hands naturally rest over your bump, the small smiles between moments, the emotions that are often impossible to put into words.

My approach is gentle and guided, creating space for genuine connection and natural emotion without stiff posing or anything that feels forced. The studio setting keeps the experience intimate and timeless, allowing your portraits to feel clean, modern, and deeply personal.

Whether this is your first baby or another chapter in your growing family’s story, these images become a beautiful reminder of where it all began.

This chapter passes quietly and quickly. Let’s preserve it beautifully.

She has great attention to detail and her photos speak for themselves. So glad she was able to capture these special moments for me.

In addition, she’s the kindest person with the MOST patience. I appreciate how professional she is and never makes me feel like a burden (even if I am, lol) The photos she’s given us of our sweet family are invaluable.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Michelle Sadee has a very professional, friendly and patient approach when taking newborn photos. Our baby immediately warmed up to Michelle during the shoot, even during fussy fits by our baby. Michelle provides a unique take on newborn photos that have left us with incredible photos that we will forever cherish. Thank you. Will always recommend. Update 2023-12-30 We’ve had the pleasure of working with Michelle Sadée Photography for our daughters’ newborn photos and our family’s Christmas mini sessions for the last two years. Each session with Michelle has been an extraordinary experience. Her talent in newborn photography is exceptional, beautifully capturing the delicate and precious moments of our daughters’ early days. During the Christmas minis, she skillfully brings out the joy and warmth of our family, creating lasting memories. Michelle’s work is consistently breathtaking and awe-inspiring. We are truly grateful for the moments she has preserved for us and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who excels in capturing the essence of family and the fleeting beauty of newborns.

Her studio is absolutely stunning and her work is incredible!! It was so hard to choose between all the photos because they are always all so beautiful even before any editing. Looking forward to having her continue to capture our family memories :) Thank you Michelle for being amazing at what you do!

We came back 3 years later with our second child and Michelle was still fantastic with new and updated props and sets. You can't do better for your newborn!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Michelle is AMAZING! I am not the biggest fan of having my photo taken. I always feel awkward and unsure of how to even hold my self. Michelle coaches you on how to stand and makes you just feel so beautiful 💕 what a wonderful experience. I have had my maturity photos done ( and back to me so fast ! ) and I'm already booked in for my babies photos!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the most amazing experience getting our newborn photos done with Michelle. It was the first time we had left the house with our newborn and we were nervous and uneasy about how baby would do. Michelle made us feel comfortable from the start and was incredible with our baby. She is the baby whisperer! She was so gentle and knew exactly what to do to keep baby from getting fussy and keep her comfortable. So comfortable, our daughter slept through the whole 4hr shoot! Michelle is not only professional, but warm and nurturing. Any time we communicated afterwards through text or email, Michelle answered all our questions and gave us exactly what we were hoping for. All of our photos are to die for! Michelle’s studio is beautiful and she has so many incredible props and outfits to choose from. Her style is beautiful and timeless and the quality is high end. You will not be disappointed! We will for sure be back to get more photos done in the future.
