Sunset beach maternity

For this Beach Maternity session, this gorgeous mama found me on HulaFrog and reached out to celebrate her pregnancy for her upcoming baby girl!

Her and her husband loved the idea of driftwood on the beach during sunset and I was so excited to oblige them. Over the years, the hurricanes have destroyed away the driftwood on a lot of our Tampa beaches, but some of it is still there. It photographs so beautifully during sunset adding texture to the soft sand and bold colored skies.

During her session, she wore a beautiful pink maternity dress to represent her baby girl and as you can see below she was stunning against the sunset we got that evening.

Before their beach maternity session, their little guy hadn’t been to the beach before. Documenting him taking in the scenery made this a special session as well. He had so much fun playing in the sand, watching the birds, and seeing boats.

Photography sessions with me are always relaxing, with gentle direction and posing. It also means letting the littles play, getting in the water, and just being yourselves.

I love to document maternity sessions that include all members of the family, even the siblings! Between this family, there was so much love and laughter which you can clearly see in their images.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Are you currently expecting and thinking about having a maternity session done? I think that no matter who you book for a maternity session, that it is an important moment to document. And if you’re wondering if you should bring the siblings, the answer is YES!

If you’ve seen this blog and are interested in a Maternity session with me, I would love to chat with you about our Maternity sessions, show you our client closet, and document this beautiful season for you.

When newly pregnant mothers find my website and fill out my form hoping for a gorgeous, maternity beach photoshoot for their pregnancy photos, it thrills my soul!
Being pregnant is a beautiful journey and I love that my job is getting to highlight their changing bodies and all the joy that comes with this new baby!

We are blessed in Tampa, Florida to have some amazing beaches, but my favorite part are the sunset backdrops.

During this maternity beach photoshoot, my client picked two different maternity gowns from my client closet to wear during her session. She specifically wanted a white, lace maternity gown for the first half and a bold, black maternity gown against the sunset sky.

Beach Maternity photo Shoot

A beach Maternity photo shoot is one of my most favorite sessions. And, if you’ve looked around my website, they are also the most popular. I think there is something so beautiful about a mama standing on the beach during sunset. The background and lighting just go so lovely with their bump and their glow just accentuates the whole look.

Amanda picked Fort Desoto Beach for her beach maternity photo shoot location and I am so glad she did! After watching the forecast for the week I was nervous about the summer rains and how the weather would be. As soon as we stepped out onto the beach, I knew it was going to be a gorgeous night. The fort ruins in the water are a gorgeous backdrop that paired so well with the calmness of the waves that evening.

Sunsets after rain in Florida can bring some of the most gorgeous colors and as you’ll see from her session photos below. As we shot into the evening, the sunset went from warm to blue hour and gave us some gorgeous cotton candy skies that Florida is known for!
