Maternity On the Water in Wickford Harbor | RI Photographer
Ahh maternity sessions. I love love love maternity sessions, especially if I know I will also be photographing the newborn session. Don’t get me wrong – of course I love all my mamas. However, it’s even cooler to know that I will be there for the “after” too.
When mom contacted me to book a maternity and newborn session I was already excited. But then when I got to their house and they mentioned heading over to “the little island” on their boat I was IN. I am not a boat person. Never have been. Where we are in Cumberland it’s about an hour to the water. While it may be true that we are the “ocean state” it’s only ocean on the border. So the opportunity to get on boats doesn’t really happen. In any event they said boat and I said “yessss!”
We crossed the water to this beautiful little empty private island and thankfully I did not die climbing out of the boat. After that we were able to meander around and take advantage of the different sides of the island and all of the beautiful sun. Each side provided a very different look to the images. With this in mind we got both backlit soft and hazy, and direct rich golden images.
Once I had gotten enough images to make us happy, we took back off in the boat and they took me on a tour of Wickford harbor! We sailed (motored?) up and down and eventually set to drift for a bit so I could get some images on the boat itself. After that we headed back to the house where mom changed into a different outfit to end with some stunning sunset sky photos on their backyard dock. It was a gorgeous fun time, to be repeated when I went back in a few weeks for their newborn session. But more on that later 😉
