Natural Matnerity Portraits - Dallas/Fort Worth , Cleburne Texas Photographer

Maternity sessions are some of my very favorite sessions! I always get so excited to capture these pretty mamas at their most beautiful moment...a season that doesn't last for long and in my opinion, something you'll always want to remember. I recommend booking a maternity session between 32-37 weeks along. You want to be SHOWING, but not too uncomfortable and in my case, swollen. :) And of course you don't want to risk , going in to labor early and missing your maternity session!

This is my younger sister. She is 27 weeks pregnant and showing quite a bit, being her second pregnancy. She is having a BOY and he is due CHRISTMAS day! :) We wanted to take these pictures early and as soon as we felt like she was showing enough.

I thought quite a bit about this session beforehand. I wanted to capture the natural beauty and rustic elegance. I chose a very natural location among trees, foilage, and a creek. She wore a vibrant, flowy dress and cowboy boots...and she fixed her hair with some curl....long and flowy. I love the pop of color and sun shining through the trees through the first set of pictures.




I wanted to capture the pretty trees all around in this photograph. The traffic wasn't too heavy but we did have to run in and out of the street quite a few times. We were on a small country road and were located just the other side of a bend. Maybe not smart, but love the result! I love the vibrant coloring up above but also liked it in the black and white down below...couldn't decide.



We moved to a slightly wooded area and I wanted to try a little more vintage look...therefore using the trunk and editing in the soft coloring. I love capturing the natural lighting all around and the softness of these photos and the leaves on the ground.






This is one of my favorite pictures from the session....especially the composition and lighting and that beautiful baby bump.
