There is something about the end of summer in Rhode Island.  I mean, don’t get me wrong, it’s beautiful all year round, but the end of summer is special.  Golden sunsets, the hint of breezes, beautiful skies and warm(ish) water.  To get to photograph a maternity session in this time period makes it even more fun.  And to photograph a couple as sweet and loving and amazing as this one, well that pretty much made it perfect.

Beach maternity sessions are one of my most requested sessions.  Whether it’s clients on babymoons to Newport or people living in the area, everyone in the ocean state wants photos with…well…the ocean. 🙂  These two were no exception.  Mom had grown up in Rhode Island and the couple had moved back to the area recently from NYC, expecting their first baby girl.  C&P wanted images in one of their favorite places in the world – by the water.  We spent an hour or so together going up and down the shoreline for some very different looks as as the sun set, and then mom got right into the water – check out the laughing photos as small waves hit her!

It was such a wonderful evening getting to know and photograph them.  It made going back a few weeks later to photograph their precious newborn baby girl even better.  By booking a newborn session and adding on the maternity everything got that much easier and more relaxed.
