As a motherhood photographer based in Richmond, Virginia, I have the privilege of capturing the journey from maternity, expectant with the hope of what’s to come, to a family filled with love when their little one is in their arms. This recent Maymont maternity session captured the anticipation of a couple embracing the magic of pregnancy amidst gorgeous park grounds. I’m so excited to share with you a glimpse into an evening filled with golden light amongst the beauty of Maymont’s Italian Gardens.

Golden Hour Magic

While I typically don’t schedule sessions during golden hour, this was an exception — and what a magical exception it was! The soft, ethereal light felt so enchanting, bathing the couple in a warm glow amidst the beauty of a slice of Tuscany right here in Richmond.

Capturing Moments of Connection

It was evident that this couple’s bond formed the heart of our session. Maternity sessions, typically lasting 30-45 minutes, provide the perfect opportunity to document some of the last moments of “just the two of you” before welcoming a new addition to the family. We captured a beautiful variety of portraits that reflected their love and the excitement for the journey ahead.

Building Comfort and Connection

Beyond capturing cherised portraits, maternity sessions serve as a valuable opportunity to connect with clients ahead of their newborn session. By crafting a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, we enter into a space where genuine moments unfold. Through open communication and gentle guidance, I ensure that every moment of our session is warm and authentic.

In every maternity session, amidst the anticipation and excitement, lies a beautiful new chapter. As I captured the excited moments shared between the couple, this Maymont maternity session was a reminder of the joy of new beginnings.
