First Maternity Session, Third Baby!

Celebrating New Beginnings: Natalia’s First Maternity Session with Hello Photography Austin

I believe that every moment is worth capturing, and sometimes, the most special moments come when you least expect them. Recently, I had the absolute joy of photographing a wonderful family. This session was extra special because it was for Natalia, a mother expecting her third child, and it was her very first maternity session. Despite being a mom already, Natalia had never experienced a maternity photoshoot before. This all was lovingly orchestrated by her husband, Conner, to celebrate this new chapter in their lives.

A Thoughtful Surprise from Conner

Conner wanted to celebrate Natalia’s journey and the upcoming addition to their family in a memorable way. We planned a session together that would capture the essence of their family’s joy and anticipation. Conner was as enthusiastic about the session as Natalia, and his excitement was contagious. It was clear that this was not just a gift for Natalia, but a celebration for the entire family.

In several photos, I was able to capture the sweet interaction between Natalia and her children. Ceecee and Cozzi, full of youthful energy and excitement, snuggled close to their mom, CeeCee’s little hands gently resting on her baby bump.

These moments were tender and genuine, highlighting the bond they shared with their soon-to-arrive sibling. They might not know this little one quite yet, but they are sure excited to get to know them!

Conner Was So Helpful!

Conner, ever the supportive partner, played an integral role throughout the session. He helped manage Ceecee and Cozzi, ensuring they were engaged and excited throughout the photoshoot. You can totally see how excited they are in every photo!

His presence added a layer of warmth and support, and it was evident that this was a family affair. Everyone played a part in creating lasting memories. Plus, Conner’s involvement allowed us to capture some beautiful solo shots of Natalia, which you’ll see next.

Throughout the session, we aimed to highlight not just the beauty of pregnancy, but also Natalia’s elegance and strength. She carried herself with a poise that was inspiring to witness. Her confidence and grace were evident throughout, from the subtle tilts of her head to the gentle way she cradled her baby bump.

One of the most profound aspects of maternity photography is capturing the quiet, reflective moments. Natalia’s session was no exception. In this long, red gown, she exuded a sense of calm and introspection.

One particularly striking photo featured Natalia gently holding her baby bump, her eyes cast downward with a serene expression on her face. This pose, simple yet deeply emotional, highlighted her connection with her unborn child and the sense of wonder that accompanies pregnancy.

Another standout photo captured her smiling directly into the camera, her eyes sparkling with joy and anticipation. This image radiated positivity and the thrill of expecting a new addition to her family.

Of course, She looked absolutely stunning in all her photos. One of my goals for this photoshoot, since it was her first, was to make her fell beautiful and empowered.

I think, based on the way these turned out, this goal was a success!

I am passionate about capturing the unique stories of each family I work with. Natalia’s maternity session was a beautiful reminder of why I love what maternity photographers do. It’s about more than just taking photos; it’s about celebrating life’s precious moments and creating lasting memories.

I am honored to have been a part of Natalia’s first maternity session and to have captured the love and joy of their growing family. If you’re considering a maternity session, whether it’s your first or your third, I would love to help you celebrate this special time in your life. Reach out and let’s create beautiful memories together.
