This mid summer maternity session on the beach was nothing short of magical. With its natural beauty and serenity, this location provided the perfect backdrop for this stunning mother-to-be and her husband. Dressed in a light pink off the shoulder dress followed by a beautiful dusty blue BHLDN gown, she was a true embodiment of ethereal grace and elegance. Shooting by the ocean served as a symbol of the power and strength of the female body, capable of bringing new life into the world. These images are not just a representation of the mother’s beauty, but also a celebration of the bond between ..read more

Here we are….already almost mid-August. How did that happen? Summer should really get slapped with a speeding ticket. I have enjoyed so much this summer and with that once again I have neglected my blog and social media. I typically blog in order but I’ve decided to jump way ahead to a session I did in June. I had the pleasure of photographing Carolyn and her baby girl back in 2018 for my Motherhood Minis. I was so excited to see her again, this time 38 weeks pregnant. If know me I love maternity sessions–coupled with water? Well, I’m in heaven. If you’re expecting and interested in a session ..read more

Well…this is embarrassing. I try.  I really do.  But somehow the art of consistent blogging has just gotten away from me.  Oh I remember the good ol’ days when I was blogging 3 or more times a week.  Looking back, I can see I’m averaging once a month at best.  So, so sad.  So, I want to start where I need to which is back at the beginning of twenty-sixteen (hiding face in shame).  Yes, I was remiss in sharing this STUNNING mother to be and her snowy maternity portraits back from January 2016.  I’ve since since this little baby turn into such a beautiful little girl.  I can’t wait to see them ..read more

I will say it again and again.  I LOVE MATERNITY SESSIONS!!  There are so many ways to shoot them so even if you’re not sure about showing your belly or ready to bare it all it is SUCH a remarkable time in your life that I feel it is so important to capture this time.  You will not regret it, promise! It’s winter and there’s snow on the ground but that doesn’t mean we can’t get outside for part or even the entire shoot!  I am here to help you pick the perfect outfits indoor or out.  The best time to schedule your maternity session is around your 7th month.  To learn more about booking your mat ..read more

The topic was broached in a local mother’s Facebook group whether or not it was “worth it” to have professional maternity photos done.  The majority of the women responded YES! And, I agree.   I can tell you from a personal perspective, I almost missed the boat.    When I was pregnant with my first, maternity photography wasn’t as prevalent as it is today.  It wasn’t THAT long ago but so much has happened in the industry since I started as a full time photographer almost 9 years ago.  I did the progression photos but nothing artistic or even with a decent top 10 4k Cameras.  When I was pregnan ..read more

I was about to blog this pretty mama’s beach session with her baby boy from last fall and realized that due to my awful blogging habits 2013-14 that her maternity images never made it up here on the blog.  It was my New Year’s resolution to blog at LEAST once per week and I’ve been holdin’ strong! How do you feel about maternity photos?  Was it something you did when you were pregnant?  Did you not and now regret it?  I know I always preach about photographing you, your life, getting yourself into the photos and I never had professional pictures done of either of my pregnancies!  3 weeks befor ..read more
