Dreamy Maternity Session

As a St. Louis Maternity photographer, I firmly believe expecting mamas are the most magical thing. I get so excited when an expecting mama reaches out to do a session with me. This session took place as Mastodon State Park in Imperial, MO. And I love this park a lot as it gives a nice variety to shoot against – including a gorgeous creek that the sun hits just right. This session almost didn’t happen, though! The weather leading up to this day was so full of rain that we thought for sure we’d have to reschedule. And rescheduling when you could pop any day can be terrifying for any expecting mom! But we were hopeful and it paid off. The rain stayed away even if it gave us a gloomy day.

I loved capturing this couple, though. And I feel so blessed that I was chosen to do so. They were so comfortable with one another and you could easily tell that they love one another. He did everything to make her laugh and I found that to be the most beautiful thing. Thank you so much for allowing me to capture this moment in your journey and congrats on your soon-to-be bundle of joy!
