Colorful Sunrise Beach Maternity Session | Baby T

This is Cait. To know her is to love her, or in my case also admire her. She is a fantastic family photographer in my area and everyone should want a session with their loved ones captured the way she does. All that to say, when she asked about doing a special mother and sons sunrise session at the local beach I knew there would be playing, color and creativity. For being 6am, you wouldn’t know it from anyone involved. We had fun roaming the sands, splashing in the waters and then letting the boys go play while Cait and I played with posing and direct light. I am so excited for this mama to be of 3 and am so incredibly humbled to capture her with my lens.

Sunset Beach Family Maternity Photos| 30A Florida

My family loves traveling with other families and for the second year in a row we ventured down to 30A, Santa Rosa Beach in Florida with dear friends of ours. The biggest difference from last years trip to this year was that our friends are expecting a baby and of course I insisted on doing some family/maternity photos on the beach at sunset. I don’t know about you who is reading this, but I am ready for bed early. Like 8pm. Sunset is 9pm in June, and on the beach it is truly 9pm because you watch the sunset over the horizon as opposed to a tree line or buildings, etc. Luckily even with being after mine (and this families) bedtime, everyone adventured down to the beach and was in happy spirits. Can’t wait to meet the newest addition this fall.

Homestead Family Maternity Photos | Utica, Ohio

The M Family wanted the homestead vibe for their summer sunset family photos celebrating the newest addition on the way. There is something very pulling about being barefoot in the grass and spending time with the ones closest to you. I loved the usage of our evening spent with some planned activity of hanging laundry but then roaming the property hand in hand with lots of hugs and laughs. Very excited for this family in the coming weeks to be a family of six.

Couples Intimate Maternity Photos in Studio | Granville, Ohio | Baby S

This duo is expecting baby #3 to add to their family. For a change of pace, they decided to take their time with me to be only mom and dad and leave the two young boys at home. No worries, they have other more family friendly maternity photos planned but I loved that they wanted to highlight their love and the growth of their family just them two. This is always an option for any mom or parents to consider when doing maternity photos. These two were honestly fire and so fun to work with, very little directing was needed other than moving around the room for various scenes and adjusting for best light, the rest was natural and easy.

Family Maternity Photos in Studio | Baby W

I was lucky enough to connect with Brooke a few years ago when she was pregnant with her second daughter. I was hosting a workshop for a group of local photographers and she was out model. Besides being obviously beautiful, Brookes personality was what caught my attention. She was so bubbly, easy to work with and kind. When she reached back out pregnant with this pregnancy I was so excited to get to document her and this time her family as well. They met me at my studio in Granville Ohio and we spent time playing and posing. Playing is always going to be included when you have two young children, and they were perfect for the games. Took a little time to also show off mom with some posing and outfit changes. Can’t wait to see them again when baby arrives.

Lifestyle & Editorial Family Maternity Photos in Granville, Ohio

I really enjoyed having the T family back in front of my camera. I first met them when photographing their first maternity session a couple years ago at the Be Changed studio. Now this time we met in my studio in Granville with their first daughter and excitedly awaiting their second daughter to be. We did a couple different looks, starting with mama in a pretty soft green dress from amazon, her daughters linen like dress was also from amazon and I was extra impressed with the quality of it. We then took some layers away and did a bare bump set with a soft pink matching bra and panty set with a sheer silk robe out of my client closet, and lastly we went a bit unorthodox and did a more editorial style image with just black panty hose pulled up over mamas beautiful bump. Lastly we wrapped up the session with mama nursing her daughter to celebrate a really special bond mama has had with her first daughter.

90s Inspired Summer Maternity Photos in Central Ohio

I met this couple unexpectedly when their original photographer was unable to do their photos and although that could sound like an awkward meeting, it was lovely to meet them. They both are the easiest to be around and I was loving their whole look, style and vibe. Ali wanted to come “casual” but I call it cool 90s girl. In my head I just kept singing, “She belongs, among the wildflowers…”

Florist Sunrise Maternity Photos in Central Ohio

I’ve been lucky to meet Katie in the “vendor” world of wedding photography. Katie is a very talented local florist and when I found out she was expecting I reached out and suggested doing something unique to her story. Together we brainstormed creating a beautiful bra made completely of flowers. She knocked it out of the park and her sunrise photos were breathtaking.

Intimate Maternity Photos in Historic Mount Vernon

Sometimes a photographer just wants to have full creative outlet more for themselves than for the client. When Im feeling that itch, I do a model call and plan everything. In this case, I really wanted a fully nude maternity model, in a charming old historic home with some quirky accessories occasionally. Cue my Cleveland expecting mama, I couldn’t believe she was willing to travel hours for this photo shoot but im so glad she did. I left feeling inspired and ready to take on busy season.

Editorial Vibe Maternity Studio Photos in Central Ohio

Sweet Caitie reached out about documenting her pregnancy and was open to trying whatever I wanted to do, which is music to my ears. I had this vision in my head of using a bodysuit for her “intimate” looks and I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out, thank you Caitie for running with my Ideas and making beautiful art in front of my camera.

Brooks Family of Six Maternity Photos in Pataskala, Ohio

The Brooks family, currently a family of six with four adorable sons are all excited and celebrating to be welcoming a baby sister in the near future. The family, styled by myself came all in neutral, brown tones and matched the studio space, Humble & Pine, perfectly. We started the session with the whole family and then once we got enough photos we let the kids relax and play while we focused solely on mom and dad. I can’t wait to meet their new baby girl in the near future.

Foggy Sunrise Beach Maternity Photos at Alum Creek

Hope found my work via my husband who she worked in the ICU with at a large Columbus hospital and I’m so glad she did. Her and her husband, who are both from out of state, here for her husbands residency, met me at sunrise on the beach of Alum Creek in Central Ohio. Anytime I drive up to the beach at sunrise Im always excited to see what the sun and sky will look like, because every time its different. This was a crisp November morning and we were lucky with the temperatures for Ohio. The sunrise comes up over the water beautifully and this specific morning the sky showed off with all the colors and fog/steam coming off the water. It really made for a magical setting.

Mohican Flower Farm Summer Sunset Maternity Photos

The W Family lives closer to Cleveland, which is a couple hours travel, so when they reached out for photos, I looked on a map for a half way setting area. The Mohican area is mid way and through some google searches, instagram rabbit holes, I found a beautiful flower farm and reached out. Luckily they were game for us to use their grounds for photos. Honestly I didn’t know what to expect as far as landscape but boy was I in for a treat. The farm is rolling hills full of various flowers. I loved working with this couple and will never forget the beautiful hills of Mohican Flower Farm.

Couples Intimate Maternity Photos in Westerville, Ohio

Boy oh boy, these two are just the coolest, not to mention they know how to bring the creative energy. Hannah and Gonzalo met in Chile and their love story began. Now living in the states, married and excitedly getting ready to become parents to a little girl. I really wanted their photos to feel intimate, cozy and embracing the beauty that is pregnancy. The setting inside the Be Changed studio helped set the tone and the couple helped bring it all to life.
