From Texas to New Jersey: A Studio Maternity Session to Remember
Some stories are so beautiful, they’re meant to be told more than once. This glowing mama traveled all the way from Texas to New Jersey to step in front of my camera once again—this time for her third pregnancy. I had the honor of capturing her very first maternity session years ago, and when she reached out to say she was coming back for baby number three, my heart was full. It’s always special when a returning client trusts me to capture their motherhood journey—but traveling across the country? That’s next level. And this session? It was nothing short of timeless.
Timeless, Elegant, and Full of Emotion
Every look she wore told a story—from soft, ethereal florals to bold, high-fashion glamour.
🖤 In a black beaded gown against a dramatic backdrop, she embodied strength and sophistication.
🌿 In a flowy, floral robe on a soft blue backdrop, she brought a sense of serenity and grace.
🤍 And in a sweet moment alongside her daughter—both dressed in white—she captured the essence of legacy.
Her oldest daughter, now old enough to fully embrace the beauty of her mama’s pregnancy, was included in the portraits, adding a heartfelt generational layer to the story. These are the kinds of portraits that will only grow more meaningful with time.
