Maternity beach sessions are some of my all time favorites! The excitement and anticipation mixed with sand and salty air is perfection. Plus, when you have a family as sweet and gorgeous as this, it makes it even better! We met on Topsail Beach for their maternity/family session, including twin big sisters (who were absolutely precious!).

This beautiful family of almost four decided on the New Hanover Arboretum for their maternity session. I love this location for maternity and family sessions because there are so many gorgeous areas which allows for lots of different looks.

Big sister was so excited about her little brother coming soon! And mama’s sparkly dress absolutely stole the show and showcased her adorable baby bump!

Addie and Aaron were such kind and lovely soon-to-be-parents! They were naturals in front of the camera, with Addie and her gorgeous baby bump being the primary focus. We did their maternity session at Fort Fisher, so we got the beautiful trees in the background as well as the landmark rocks/coastline. Addie is just a stunning mama and I couldn’t wait to meet their sweet baby boy!

One of my favorite locations for outdoor sessions is Belville Riverwalk Park, so I was excited when the L. family decided on this park for their maternity session. They were expecting a sweet baby boy to add to their beautiful family! Mama wore a gorgeous dress which showcased her adorable baby bump (and coordinated with big sister’s cute outfit).

I love maternity sessions that feature authentic connection between parents and sibling(s). This session was no exception and the excitement and anticipation of a new baby just melted my heart. I couldn’t wait to meet and snuggle little brother a few weeks later!

Look at this gorgeous mama! Jessica traveled a few hours to do her maternity session at Carolina Beach. This is one of my favorite locations because of the variety we can get with the pier, rocks, and beautiful ocean.

I adore maternity sessions, but add a beach, and it’s perfection! Jessica was absolutely breathtaking. She warned me that she could be “awkward in front of the camera” but I’m sure you can agree that she rocked her session. It’s super common to feel intimidated/uncomfortable during photos and like you aren’t sure how to pose, especially when pregnant, but I’ve got you!
