NATURAL TOPSAIL ISLAND MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY

Expecting a new baby is a beautiful time in every mother’s life. Even if the mom-to-be can’t feel the glow, it’s safe to say she looks the part. I was able to capture the excitement of this wonderful couples’ pregnancy in this natural Topsail Island maternity photography session.

NATURAL MATERNITY SESSION

These two lovely soon-to-be parents looked absolutely stunning for their evening-time maternity session, and the natural beachfront backdrop let their gorgeous attire shine. The sunset gave this natural maternity session a perfect feel. The whites and natural tones of the beach and of their home created a beautiful canvas for their wardrobe. And, obviously, for that wonderful baby bump! The smiles on their faces make it clear to anyone that they could not be more excited to meet their new baby. 

Topsail Island and the beach were a special and memorable place for this couple. With this maternity photography session, they wanted to make sure to remember this time in their lives. At the time of this shoot, they were gearing up to make a big move to Alaska, but wanted to treasure the days spent on the beach, as well as capturing this pregnancy. We were able to involve their four-legged friends for a nice walk on the beach. Clearly the dogs didn’t have any objections to this! Who wouldn’t want to take a nice stroll with their favorite humans on a gorgeous evening like this?

We ended this natural Topsail Island maternity photography session on the dock. This gave us a great view of the Intracoastal Waterway, and really added to the natural feel of this maternity shoot. I especially loved the way the cool tones of the water and the wooden pier complimented this mother-to-be’s dress. A maternity photography session wouldn’t be complete without a profile shot of that adorable baby bump. These parents adored each other, and they couldn’t be more ecstatic for their newest addition.

MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY TO NEWBORN SESSION

I was invited back to the beach a short time later to photograph this family in a newborn session. It was truly a pleasure to be able to capture their beautiful new baby in a place that was so near and dear to their hearts.
