Saskatoon Maternity, Newborn and Family Photographer
Timeless portraits for the moments you'll wish you could hold onto forever.
Pregnancy. Those first tiny weeks. The way your children fit perfectly into your arms.
These moments pass far too quickly.
I create fine-art maternity, newborn and family portraits for families in Saskatoon and surrounding Saskatchewan communities — beautifully guided, thoughtfully styled, and created to become artwork you'll treasure for generations.
They won't be this little forever.
One day, you'll look back and wonder how their tiny hands ever fit inside yours.
The newborn days will become a blur.
Your belly will become a memory.
Your children will grow into versions of themselves you can't yet imagine.
And you'll be so grateful you stopped long enough to preserve this chapter.
Because photographs aren't just about remembering what they looked like.
They're about remembering how it felt to be their mama.
You deserve to be in the photographs, too.
If you're anything like most moms, you're probably the one taking the photographs.
The one behind the camera.
The one making sure everyone else is included.
Years from now, your children won't care whether the house was perfectly clean or whether you felt perfectly put together.
They'll want to see you.
Holding them.
Loving them.
Laughing with them.
Being their safe place.
That's why my sessions are designed to make you feel beautiful, confident and completely present — while I take care of everything else.
Hi, I'm Joanna.
Photographer. Mama. Storyteller.
I'm a mom of two girls, and I know firsthand how quickly childhood disappears.
One minute they're tiny enough to hold in one arm.
Then somehow they're running through the house, starting school and becoming their own little people.
That experience changed the way I photograph families.
I don't want to simply create beautiful photographs.
I want to create photographs that mean something.
Images you'll see every day.
Images your children will recognize themselves in years from now.
Images that become part of your family's story.
I've spent years specializing in gentle, fine-art maternity and newborn photography, creating a calm, fully guided experience for families who want more than a quick photo session.
You don't need to know how to pose.
You don't need to know what to wear.
You don't need to know what to do with your hands.
That's my job.
You simply get to be present.
A photography experience designed around you.
Beautifully styled. Completely guided. Effortlessly yours.
From the moment you inquire, I'll guide you through every part of your experience.
Wardrobe & Styling
Not sure what to wear?
I'll help you choose outfits that photograph beautifully and complement your family's style. Maternity clients also have access to my curated collection of beautiful gowns and accessories.
Gentle Direction
You don't have to be comfortable in front of a camera.
I'll guide you through every pose, movement and interaction so you never have to wonder what to do.
Beautifully Styled Sessions
Every detail is intentionally chosen to create photographs that feel timeless, elegant and refined.
Baby-Led Newborn Photography
Newborn sessions are relaxed and paced around your baby. I never rush the process.
Professional Artwork
Your photographs deserve to exist somewhere beyond your phone.
I'll help you choose images and artwork that allow you to enjoy your family's photographs every single day.
Every chapter deserves to be remembered.
Celebrate the woman you're becoming.
Pregnancy is powerful, beautiful and fleeting.
Your maternity session is an opportunity to slow down and celebrate this incredible chapter before everything changes.
With elegant gowns, beautiful styling and gentle direction, we'll create portraits that make you feel like the goddess you are.
Best photographed: 28–34 weeks
Remember who they are right now.
Because childhood doesn't stay still.
The giggles.
The missing teeth.
The way they hold your hand.
The personality that seems to change every few months.
Family and milestone sessions are about capturing those little pieces of who they are — honestly, beautifully and timelessly.
Indoor and outdoor sessions are available.
Preserve the beginning.
Those first days are beautiful — and unbelievably short.
The tiny fingers.
The sleepy stretches.
The little wrinkles.
The way they curl perfectly into your arms.
My newborn sessions are relaxed, fully styled and designed around your baby.
Everything is taken care of, including wraps, outfits, props, accessories and little essentials, so you can simply arrive, settle in and enjoy your baby.
Best booked during pregnancy for priority scheduling.
Your memories deserve more than a hard drive.
Let's turn your photographs into something you can actually live with.
Your favorite photographs shouldn't disappear into a folder on your computer.
They belong on your walls.
In your hands.
Inside albums your children can look through years from now.
I believe photography is an investment in your family's history, which is why I offer beautiful printed artwork and heirloom products designed to be enjoyed for generations.
These aren't just photographs.
They're pieces of your family's story.
What my clients are saying
Real families. Real experiences. Real love.

Absolutely loved our maternity photoshoot with Joanna. She guided us through every pose naturally while still letting us be ourselves, and the results were simply stunning. Every photo beautifully captured the love, excitement, and anticipation we’re feeling in this special chapter of our lives. The lighting, angles, and attention to detail were all perfect. We’ll cherish these images forever.
Thank you, Joanna for helping us preserve this unforgettable moment. Highly, highly recommend!Junnalyn

Joanna Komorek Photography captured a special moment with me and my kids. She caught the candid but also placed moments with me and my children. She is very professional but also a sweet and kind human being. The editing turned out beautiful and exactly what I wanted.
I would highly recommend her.Hannah

From the moment we walked in, Joanna made us feel so welcome and relaxed. She was so gentle and patient with our baby, taking her time to catch the sweetest smiles, tiny fingers, and all those little in-between moments that mean so much. It honestly felt like she was capturing our family’s love, not just taking pictures. When we saw the photos, our hearts just melted — they’re even more beautiful than we imagined! These are memories we’ll treasure forever, and we are so grateful Joanna was the one to capture them for us.
