Kimberley There are moments in motherhood that feel too big to put into words—your first flutter, your growing bump, the quiet excitement of waiting. That’s exactly why maternity sessions like this one mean so much. Because as moms, we know just how fast time moves. And sometimes, you just want to pause it.
I recently had the joy of photographing a beautiful mama-to-be in a stunning garden location in Lakeland, Florida—and everything about it felt magical. From the light to her glow to the flowing gown she chose from my client closet, it all came together in the most dreamy way.
Why You Need to Capture This Season of Life
As a fellow mom, I know it’s easy to let time slip by. You’re planning, preparing, checking off lists—and before you know it, baby is here. But here’s the thing: you matter too. This season of waiting, hoping, and growing? It’s beautiful. And it deserves to be captured.
This mama was expecting her first baby, and she looked absolutely radiant. Seeing her step in front of the camera with grace and strength was such a powerful reminder that motherhood starts long before baby arrives.
She chose one of the gowns from my Kimberley Asante maternity client closet, and wow—it was made for her. Soft, elegant, and flowing just right in the garden breeze. She looked like a goddess.
Exploring a New Location That Sparked Creativity
This session took place in one of my new favorite spots—a lush garden in Lakeland. Even though a wedding was happening on-site, we were lucky enough to access so many peaceful and breathtaking areas. From flower-lined paths to glowing oak trees, it was like stepping into a storybook.
And the best part? The location complemented her calm, radiant energy so well. Every corner gave us something special. It’s the kind of spot that makes you take a deep breath and feel fully present. That’s exactly the kind of feeling I aim to capture.
A Session That Filled My Creative Cup
Some sessions just feel soul-filling. This was one of them. Watching this expecting mom glow with love and anticipation reminded me why I do what I do. Maternity photography isn’t about posing perfectly—it’s about capturing a feeling. A connection. A moment in time you’ll want to remember forever.
I know firsthand how much these photos mean later on—when you’re holding your baby, when they’re walking, when the baby stage becomes a blur. These images become part of your story.
