Bellevue State Park | Megan and Shawn Maternity Session
Megan and Shawn’s maternity session at Bellevue State Park was a beautiful celebration of love and anticipation as they prepare to welcome their baby girl, Camden Rose. With the park’s rustic charm as a backdrop, Megan glowed in a magenta gown while Shawn stood by her side, capturing the excitement of parenthood. From soft embraces to tiny pink baby shoes, every moment reflected the joy of this special season.
There’s something so special about capturing the excitement and love that comes with expecting a little one. Megan and Shawn’s maternity session at Bellevue State Park was a beautiful reflection of this chapter in their lives as they await the arrival of their baby girl, Camden Rose.
Megan looked absolutely radiant in her deep magenta gown, cradling her growing belly with so much love and anticipation. Shawn was right by her side, sharing sweet moments and soaking in the joy of what’s to come. The way he looked at her, held her close, and rested his hand on her bump made it clear—this little girl is already so loved.
Bellevue State Park was the perfect setting for their session. The natural tones of winter, the rustic stone walls, and the classic green barn gave us a timeless backdrop that made every shot feel warm and intimate. One of the sweetest moments? A tiny pair of pink baby shoes resting on a wooden table, a simple but powerful reminder that their family is about to grow.
Megan and Shawn, thank you for letting me capture this beautiful milestone. I can’t wait for you to meet baby Camden and experience all the love and joy she’ll bring into your lives!
Expecting a little one? Let’s create memories you’ll cherish forever. Reach out to book your maternity session today!
Winter Maternity Session │Alexandria, VA
Winter maternity session in Alexandria, Virginia with two of the most beautiful people I know, inside and out.
It’s funny how the world works… Domonique & Darryl came into my life after being referred to me for their engagement session by a mutual friend. We hit it off and by the end of their engagement shoot, they felt like old friends to me, as we shared chit-chat about military life and Fort Bragg where Darryl and I each had lived growing up. I was later hired to photograph their wedding which in hindsight was definitely one of my favorite weddings to date! Their friends & family are amazing, so fun, so energetic and just truly amazing people and I had the BEST time on their wedding day! As luck would have it, when I moved to Maryland, they just so happened to be living in Alexandria, VA, a short car ride away and we were able to pick up our photo sessions where we left off with a Christmas session and the MOST AMAZING surprise birthday party for Darryl with Surprise Baby Announcement (stay tuned, post coming soon!). Now here we are just a few short weeks before the birth of their little girl spending a blustery Virginia afternoon together for their maternity session.
So happy for you three!

Fort Fisher │Katy Maternity
Through this little camera of mine, I have been able to photograph some of the most amazing parts of my clients' lives: engagements, weddings, high school seniors, watching families grow over the years... but I do believe that maternity & the newborn sessions that follow have a BIG part of my heart! It's just a beautiful time. Katy & Peter are patiently awaiting the arrival of their first baby, a son, who is a few days past due now. We are ALL excited and I thought tonight would be the perfect time to reflect on their last photo session with baby in mom's belly. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful Fort Fisher evening!

Congratulations, Katy & Peter, I cannot wait to meet your little boy in the next few days when he makes his big debut! He is so lucky to have you two as his parents.
Kure Beach │ Katie
So, I've decided that if Julia Roberts and Lea Michele from "Glee" had a lovechild, Katie would be that gorgeous offspring. Now that I've mentioned it, I know you'll see it: beautiful hair, that Julie smile, an absolutely stunning Mama-in-the-Making! Unbelievable skies and near perfect weather, this maternity shoot is one to remember....

Now that I've mentioned it, I know you'll see it: beautiful hair, that Julie smile, an absolutely stunning Mama-in-the-Making! A few weeks following her ridiculously cute Reveal Party (where we found out she is having a little girl), Katie and I headed out to Kure Beach for her maternity session, which we ALMOST called on the count of rain. Oh, friends, I could not be more happy that we decided to press on and see if the weather would hold out! Unbelievable skies and near perfect weather, this maternity shoot is one to remember....
Katie, you are perfection!
Katie, the next time I photograph you will be when I get to meet your little girl.
I could not be happier for your little family! xo
Southern Pines │ Katie & Justin
When one of your oldest friends invites you to her baby sister's Reveal Party to photograph the happy couple finding out if they are having a little boy or a little girl, you jump at the chance and click happily away with your camera... so that's just what I did! The party took place in Southern Pines, NC, in a cute little courtyard next to Katie's salon, (Bamboo, a boutique salon) and we had perfect weather for the event! Katie, you are one GORGEOUS pregnant mama, and it's crazy to even type that because I still see you as Franny's fourteen year old kid sister! You wear motherhood well, Katie and I could not be more happy for you & Justin!

Fort Fisher │ Isabel's Maternity Revisit
During the bitter cold winter months, I love to go back through my memory cards and revisit a favorite photo session or two. Over the years, Isabel has become not only a client but a friend and I loved going back through these images today. Bagwell family, I hope you enjoy this look back at your first moments as a Party of Three during your Fort Fisher maternity shoot!
During the bitter cold winter months, I love to go back through my memory cards and revisit a favorite photo session or two; sessions with warmer weather and sun-kissed clients is a big plus! Isabel reached out to me to take her maternity photos after we met on her sister-in-law's wedding day while I was photographing all of the magic of The Bagwell's wedding. Over the years, Isabel has become not only a client but a friend and I loved going back through these images today. To be the photographer chosen to capture the joyful, nervous energy filled moments that go hand in hand with being pregnant with your first child, it's really such an honor. Their little boy, Liam, is such a gorgeous little soul and it's easy to see where he gets that from. Bagwell family, I hope you enjoy this look back at your first moments as a Party of Three during your Fort Fisher maternity shoot!
Thank you, Bagwell Family! xoxo
A Fort Fisher Maternity Session: Gabrielle
In just a few more weeks, a new baby girl will be making her big debut into this family's mix! I had to sneak Gabby & Mya away for a maternity shoot at Fort Fisher, one of my favorite locations in the area to capture photographs of this Mama & her babies in all their glory. Here are just a few of my favorites from our shoot!
When I found out that my old coworker, Gabby, and her beautiful family were moving into the neighborhood, I was so excited! Mya, her little girl, is just a few years older than Isla and I cannot wait to see all the fun they have together. Even more exciting is knowing that in just a few more weeks, their new baby girl will be making her big debut into the mix!

Thank you for spending the afternoon with Isla & my camera, girls! I cannot wait to snuggle your little one soon! Eek :)
St. James Plantation- Bianca Maternity Session
One of my favorite locations, St. James Plantation in Southport, NC, was calling our names when it came time for Bianca's maternity session, seeing as we both have worked on this property before! Woodlands Park was so pretty with the last splash of fall colors in the leaves, with just enough dappled sunlight streaming through... (sigh) just gorgeous! I was so excited to meet Bianca & Channing as they celebrated the pregnancy of their first baby, a little boy they named Atlas.
