FIONA SCHUBECK PHOTOGRAPHY
Pregnancy, newborn and family photos based in Portland, Maine
My goal is to celebrate you.
To help you see a perspective of yourself and your family that you might not always notice.
To honor whatever stage you’re at.
Whether it’s documenting a pregnancy, a new baby, a milestone, or the phase your family is in right now, it’s special and worthwhile to me. I believe in giving space to the parts of life that feel transformative, as well as the ones that feel mundane.
I know the feeling of treasuring your pregnancy experience, even through the difficult moments, because it might only happen once or twice.
I know the feeling of marveling at the tiny new life you created and then looking back a month or two later and marveling again at how quickly they change.
I know the feeling of watching your kids grow both in height and personality, faster than you thought they would, and wishing they could stay little while also admiring who they’re becoming.
This is why I offer photography. Because we all can take the phone pictures, and then they stay on the phone and pile up. But what’s different about a professional session is that you actually take the time to be present in your moment. And to be in the frame yourself. To look back on the high quality images and be filled with gratitude for what you’ve been through and the life you are living.
HONORING EVERY DAY MOMENTS
“Fiona did an incredible job capturing our growing family! Not only are the photos amazing, but they feel so authentic to us, and are beyond what we envisioned. She came to our house and captured us in our element, which made the whole session feel effortless. We’re beyond grateful we have these shots to look back on during such a special season of our lives.”

Session Types
PREGNANCY
Honor your growing body, your growing family, and the new life to come. In-home or outdoors, pregnancy sessions can be solo, with a partner or friend, or with your whole family.
NEWBORN
In-home sessions when your baby is new and time takes on a new meaning. Clothing optional, these sessions can focus on the postpartum parents just as much as the newborn.
FAMILY
Celebrate a special occasion in your family story, or just a regular Sunday! These casual sessions document you and your crew in whatever season you are in!
FRESH 48
Some of the most transformational days of your life will be the days you birth your baby and begin to get to know them. This on-call session type takes place wherever you end up giving birth, and documents the story however it unfolds.
