There’s something so special about photographing a growing family in the comfort of their own home. This beautiful maternity session took place in Northern Virginia and was filled with warmth, love, and joyful anticipation for baby number two.
From the start, it was clear how much love surrounds this family. We started the session right on their front porch—mom glowing in a navy blue dress, dad coordinating perfectly in a classic button-down, and their sweet little boy full of energy and smiles. These doorstep portraits captured a simple, timeless look while reflecting the genuine connection between them.
As we moved to the backyard, the session unfolded into a playful and affectionate series of moments. Big brother was the star—hugging mom’s belly, giving kisses to his soon-to-arrive sibling, and sharing sweet giggles with both parents. The lush greenery, sunshine, and wooden fencing created a beautiful, intimate backdrop for these tender interactions.
One of the most heart-melting moments was seeing the toddler gently place his head on mom’s belly, wrapping his little arms around her. These quiet gestures told the story of a bond already forming, even before baby arrives.
Mom looked radiant and relaxed throughout the session, glowing with both grace and joy. Dad’s easy smile and gentle demeanor added to the calm, loving energy of the shoot. Together, they created a picture of a family grounded in connection and ready to welcome their newest member.
We ended the session with a few candid shots of mom and her little boy twirling under a tree, followed by a sweet goodbye between father and son at the gate—every frame capturing the simplicity and beauty of everyday moments that will soon become cherished memories.
