Marissa's Maternity Session | Long Island New York

I’m so excited to share this maternity session with you today! It was such an honor to have Marissa invite me out to Wading River, NY (along the North Shore of Long Island) for this beach themed photoshoot. Fun fact - my wife and I had our wedding portraits done at this same beach!

I ventured out to Wading River Beach on Long Island with a beautiful couple - Marissa and Rob - for their maternity photoshoot this weekend. The weather was so gorgeous this day. They were so much fun, and we wanted to incorporate the rocks and beach because they were pregnant with their first baby boy.

Marissa is seriously so beautiful with her perfect round belly! She was so easygoing. I loved this shot of her holding her belly with the rocks and beach surrounding her.

Everytime I go to this beach, I have to have clients climb on the giant rocks jutting out from the water. I just feel like it’s so magical and almost like a scene from a book here! This shot is more candid and lifestyle like. They are beautiful here.

This is one of my favorite shots from this session because I feel like it looks so whimsical and fairytale-like - look at that dress flow! Marissa looks stunning all posed with her belly!

After leaving the beach, we made a stop at East Wind Long Island and found this fantastic carousel that perfectly captures the fun loving nature of Marissa’s personality.

Mindi's Maternity Session | Hamilton, New Jersey

Mindi was willing to brave the elements for her maternity shoot at Sayen Gardens and these images came out stunning!

In the middle of winter, Mindi was willing to brave the elements (and a snowstorm the day before) for her outdoor Maternity session at Sayen Gardens in Hamilton, NJ.

Even in the winter, Sayen Garden’s is the perfect location if you are looking for a garden feel with a beautiful lake in the middle.

Despite the cold, Mindi had 2 ideas for her photoshoot - the first was more casual with her husband Jose.

 
 

Her second idea was more formal in this stunning green dress that really popped against the bright white snow and brown of the trees.

 
 

Please enjoy Mindi’s maternity session at Sayen Gardens!
