Maria is truly one of my favorite clients. I know I say this a lot, but I really truly mean it. She appreciates photography as much as I do, and we share the same belief that photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving what we have capture on film from a moment in life, that otherwise would have bee forgotten. This was Maria’s second session with me. We captured some amazing moments for her at the beach when Aiden turned 6, and this session turned out just as beautiful as the first one.
Confession: I want to print large framed canvases of these photos and display them in my house! They are just such beautiful pieces of art. Thank you Maria for always trusting my vision and loving my work! I can’t wait for baby to arrive!

The soft expression on Maria’s smile and Aiden’s love towards his mommy makes this stunning photo a candidate for a large framed canvas. The breathtaking golden hour light illuminates the flowers around them in such a magical way that it almost seems like this image belongs in a fairy tale book.

I love Aiden’s little smirk!

Maria chose a mint off the shoulder dress for her session, which went perfectly with the meadow-like location we chose for the session.

This photo was about capturing Aiden and his little baby brother/sister. He is very excited about becoming a big brother and his embracing expression says it all.

One of my favorites. Maria has such strong features that every image of her exudes power along with beauty, pure beauty.

I am secretly hoping for a baby girl!

Golden hour at it’s prime. The orange glow left over from the sunset is absolutely stunning at this time of day.

The peonies flower crown highlighted Maria’s natural beauty. Thank you Sabina from Fresh Crowns for sharing your talent with us!

A little story about this photo: I surprised Maria with this lacey robe for her session. She loved it at first sight, but there was a problem: she was wearing a black bra and it would show through. I was wearing a nude bra, so right there, in the middle of the meadow (under mms shirt, of course!), with people walking by from time to time, I took off my bra and gave it to Maria so she could use it. This is what I am willing to do for my clients, I go above and beyond expectations and always looks for solutions to any hiccups we might have. I can tell you that doing so in this occasion, definitely paid off. Maria’s looks stunning in this white laced bohemian gown that shows off her perfectly round belly.

This path is frequented by runners, and there is a lake near by. Maria had no problem going with the flow and giving me some movement for this photo, even if it meant looking funny to other people.
