There’s something so special about photographing a family in that quiet stretch of time before their baby arrives. This season of waiting—of imagining what life will look like in just a few short weeks—is one of  the sweetest to document.

Jessika's maternity photos 

What I loved most about Jessika's maternity session was how natural everything felt. Nothing forced, nothing overly posed—just a family enjoying an evening together, holding onto these last days as a family of three. We wandered by the lake, paused whenever Dean found something “important” to show us, and let the setting sun do its magical thing. The photos we created feel exactly like that night: warm, relaxed, and full of love.

And the sweetest part of this story? Only a few weeks later, I got to see them again—this time in their home—to welcome baby Fae Delilah. Meeting their tiny girl after watching Jessika carry her felt like such a full-circle moment. Dean was instantly smitten, and Jessika held her with the same softness she carried during her maternity session. If you’d like to see how beautifully their story continued, you can visit Fae’s newborn gallery here.
