There’s something truly magical about watching your former students grow up and reach life’s most beautiful milestones. Recently, I had the incredible honor of photographing two of my former students, Riley and Conner, as they prepare to welcome their first baby into the world.
When these two walked into my high school classroom years ago I never could have imagined that one day I’d be behind the camera. Being able to capture such an intimate and joyful chapter of their lives was amazing. Now here they are, glowing with excitement and anticipation as they prepare to become parents for the first time.
At around 20 weeks along, this maternity session was perfectly timed to serve a double purpose. We were able to get both maternity photos and baby announcement images all rolled into one session. There’s something so special about that sweet spot in pregnancy where mamma is bumpin but not too tired for photos.
Riley and Conner are absolutely glowing with joy and excitement, and their love for each other and their growing family shines through in every single photo. Watching them interact during the session reminded me why I fell in love with photography in the first place. They are so comfortable with each other and so in love.
We chose Murrell Park in Flower Mound for our location, right along the beautiful shores of Lake Grapevine. This North Texas location provides the perfect backdrop for such a meaningful motherhood photography session. The soft light filtering through the trees, the serene water views, and the lush greenery created an atmosphere that was relaxing for the session.
Sessions like these remind me that photography is about so much more than pretty pictures. It’s about preserving the emotions, the anticipation, and the pure joy of life’s most precious moments. These images will forever capture not just how they looked at 20 weeks, but how they felt. The excitement, the love, the dreams they’re building together.
I can’t wait to watch their little family grow and hopefully capture many more milestones along the way.
