There is always so much magic during golden hour- the way the light softly lights up your faces, wraps everything in warmth, and brings a sense of peace and wonder. It’s the perfect backdrop for a maternity session, and this one was nothing short of breathtaking. I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Juwel and Gabe as they await the arrival of their little one. We met at the natural preserve just before sunset, when the world begins to slow down and that golden glow starts to stretch across the sky. Juwel was radiant—glowing in a way only an expectant mother can. There were laughs, quiet reflections, and sweet embraces that made this session feel as intimate as it was joyful. Golden hour sessions like this one are truly special. The soft, warm light adds a dreamy quality to every image, highlighting the beauty of pregnancy and the anticipation of new beginnings. It’s a time to pause, reflect, and celebrate the love that’s already growing. Juwel & Gabe—thank you for letting me capture this chapter of your story. I can’t wait to see the love you already have for your baby blossom in the months to come. Xo
