Hi! I'm Bethany! I'm a Motherhood and Family photographer in the Annapolis, MD and surrounding areas!

04/01/2026

This season of motherhood is always worth remembering, even if it doesn’t always feel that way in the moment.

I have noticed maternity sessions are one of the most commonly skipped sessions.

And I get it. You’re tired, you might not feel like yourself. You’re growing, changing, just trying to make it through the day.

But this season matters so much more than it feels right now. Every pregnancy is different. Every baby, every journey, every version of you in this season… it only happens once. You will never be pregnant with this exact baby again.

There is something so sacred about that.

For 9 months, it’s just the two of you. A quiet, constant bond before the world ever meets them. They know your voice, your heartbeat, your presence… and you are already their home.

You deserve to be remembered in that!

You are more than “just pregnant”. You are creating life, holding a whole person inside of you.

You are a goddess in this season, even on days you don’t feel like it.

And one day, your baby will look back at these images and see where their story began… with you 🤍

Hi! I’m Bethany and around here I believe your photos should feel like your real life, not a perfectly posed version of it.

I’m for the mamas in the thick of it, the ones with kids who run wild, need snacks mid-session, and keep you on your toes

the ones who feel a little overwhelmed but know how fast this season is going

the ones who don’t want to spend their session stressing… they just want to be with their babies

My sessions aren’t about rushing through poses or trying to get everything “just right”.

They’re about slowing down
laughing a lot
letting your kids be exactly who they are and capturing all the in-between moments that actually mean something.

Because one day, it won’t be the perfect smiles you miss
it’ll be the way they clung to you
the way they giggled
the way it all felt

If that’s what you’ve been looking for… you’re in the right place ❤️

This has been a whirlwind of a weekend and week! On Saturday morning I went in to get induced to welcome Baby Simms 3 to the family. After almost 24 hours of labor we welcomed him on Sunday morning!! We were finally able to go home yesterday and we got to spend the day today with both older brothers and dad. We are so happy to have him with us now and can’t wait for all of our adventures to come!

2026 has definitely come in with a BANG💥 already! 
Although I won’t be taking on very many (if any) sessions over the next few weeks, I am very excited for what 2026 is going to have to offer! I have some sessions on the books, but February is closed!   Once baby boy comes I will be taking off to heal, spend time with family, and get a routine going. Well as much as a routine that I can have with three boys 🤣 BUT on that note, I do have a plan and a bunch of amazing things up my sleeve 🥰  The plan for 2026: 🗓️ The plan is to open my books back up mid to end of March.
 🌸 Motherhood, Spring, and other minis I have planned will be posted for sign ups over the next few months. I have some super fun things scheduled to celebrate each milestone and moment of motherhood with you all
 👶🏻 I will be introducing a BRAND NEW aspect of Bethany Simms Photography in the few months. This is something I haven’t done before and I’m so excited!  👀 Also… yes, thats a pregnant me behind the scenes during a newborn session.   Because I know how important these moments are and how fast they go. I’m not only photographing those memories for you, but I’m going through it with you.  It may be a little slower over here, but I’m filling this year with so much intention, planning and heart. Can’t wait to come back rested, inspired, and ready for all the motherhood moments and magic in 2026!
 If you’ve been thinking about a session this year, keep an eye out, and if you’re already on my calendar… thank you for trusting me during this sacred season. It truly means everything 🥹🤍

Hello 2026 and Hello February!

We are officially in due date month (with me at 37 weeks today!) and when I say it’s been crazy this year, it’s been crazy. On one hand January lasted 56 weeks, and on the other hand I blinked and it was over.

I’m grateful at how supportive everyone has been during this time and so grateful for everyone who’s been messaging me to see how I’ve been doing during this final weeks. I know I’ve been MIA with posting, but that does not mean I haven’t been busy with work, getting ready for baby boy, and also being there for my other two boys.

Also, no one tells you just how tired you will be when you’re pregnant with baby 3 and over 35. I can 100% understand why 🐻 bears hibernate in the winter and come out still looking exhausted, and quite frankly I fell like that has been me these past few months 🤣. If you’ve made it this far thanks for sticking around for my random ADHD thoughts and update on where the heck I’ve been. Growing a human is a lot of work!

On another note, let’s play when is Baby Simms going to come! I’m due February 25th and who knows when he will decide he’s ready to make his appearance.

When do you think he will come?
