Kimberley There’s something special about photographing another mom — especially one who understands how fast life moves and how rare it is to pause and soak in this season. This beautiful maternity session took place at the most peaceful little beach spot, tucked away from the crowds. Between the soft garden views, the pebbled shoreline, and pelicans flying low across the water — it felt like we had the whole world to ourselves.
This mama showed up glowing — confident, calm, and ready to embrace every moment. I still remember the way the yellow gown from my Maternity Client Closet caught the light; it felt like sunshine wrapped around her. That gown has been worn by many expecting moms, but somehow it looked like it was made just for her.
Why Maternity Sessions Matter So Much
As moms, we spend so much time thinking about everyone else — our families, our homes, our to-do lists — that we sometimes forget to see ourselves. Sessions like this are my reminder of why I do what I do. You deserve to feel beautiful, seen, and celebrated — not “just a mom,” but the strong, radiant woman you are right now.
When I photograph expecting moms, I want you to look at your images and think, “Wow… that’s me?” Because it is. It’s you at your most authentic, your most graceful, your most powerful. It’s your story, frozen in a moment before everything changes again.
A Session Filled with Calm, Connection, and Joy
I loved this location so much — the driftwood resting quietly on the sand, the smooth ocean rocks that added texture, and the soft breeze that made everything feel effortless. There’s something about water that slows you down — it invites you to breathe, to let go, to simply be.
Watching this mama move through the session reminded me that beauty isn’t about perfection — it’s about presence. The way she smiled, the way her hands naturally rested on her belly, the quiet joy in her eyes — that’s what I want every expecting mom to experience during their photoshoot.
Let’s Create Something Beautiful Together
If you’re expecting and wondering whether a maternity session is worth it — I promise you, it is. These photos become heirlooms not just for you, but for your little one to look back on one day.
Whether we photograph at a cozy beach like this or in my studio surrounded by soft light, I’ll help you feel confident, comfortable, and absolutely beautiful.
