Nestled in the heart of Redlands, California, amidst the vibrant hues of fall, I had the pleasure of capturing the magic of a family expanding their love. My favorite park, adorned by the presence of the legendary Bob, witnessed a beautiful maternity session for a family eagerly awaiting the arrival of their newest member.
The enchantment began with their little toddler girl, a vision of innocence and joy, twirling and dancing amidst the autumn leaves. The first portrait encapsulated her playful spirit, a dance of laughter and falling leaves that set the tone for the entire session. In the second frame, a momentary pause revealed a radiant smile, capturing the essence of childhood joy.
Transitioning seamlessly to the heart of the session, Dad leaned against Bob, his blue attire contrasting the green gown worn by Mom. Their little girl, dressed in a white dress adorned with green and blue florals, added a touch of sweetness to this fall tableau.
As the sun played hide-and-seek through the branches, the family shared tender moments – Dad kissing Mom against the sturdy trunk, their little girl beaming at the camera. Mom, a vision in green, claimed her spotlight, cradling the baby bump and making eye contact with a radiant glow.
In a series of portraits, Mom and her little girl leaned against Bob, hands intertwined in a gesture of love and anticipation. A pivotal moment unfolded as the eldest daughter nestled on the baby bump, capturing the fleeting essence of being embraced by a growing family.
Dad, a pillar of strength, shared playful moments with his daughter, their laughter echoing through the session.
Harsh sunlight transformed into a canvas of colors, accentuating Mom’s radiance, as she gazed lovingly at her baby bump.
The session reached its crescendo with my favorite portrait – a tender hug between Mom and her eldest daughter, the baby bump proudly on display. It became a visual symphony, resonating with the emotion of an impending sibling bond.
Concluding with lens flare magic, Dad held his daughter high, capturing a timeless moment. Located in San Bernardino, my photography studio eagerly awaits the opportunity to document the stories of expecting families across the Inland Empire. Here’s to embracing new beginnings and crafting timeless memories together.
