Golden hour at Westcott Beach was such an idyllic setting for this maternity photography session. The bright golden light from the sunset matched the excitement and anticipation of awaiting new life. I think maternity sessions offer a nice moment for expectant parents to reflect on the last, present and future of their relationship together. Relationships are an ever-flowing journey comprised of both big milestones and an endless number of little but important moments. As you reach the cusp of a major change in your relationship, it’s often not an isolated event, rather a change that is a culmination of all of the moments that preceded it.

Maternity sessions are meant to be more than an hour of poses. I whole heartedly believe in giving you space to think about the beauty and joy of your past together, the excitement of the present, and the anticipation for the future. Come to a maternity session to celebrate all of it. To document yourself before you step into the newness. To be proud of yourself for carrying a new life with you. To feel the vast multitude of emotions that comes along with pregnancy.
