Beach Maternity Portraits

East Bay Rhode Island Maternity Session

A little something different on the blog today! It seems like it’s been ages since I started portrait photography with the expectation of working with families and newborn babies. Well, it turned out very quickly babies were NOT my calling but the couples in love having them were! I don’t do many maternity sessions, but when one of your favorite past brides reaches out to say they’re expecting, I could’t be more excited!

I met Heather and Connor back in 2018 for their engagement session in Newport and their wedding at Lake Pearl in Wrentham. We became instant friends and I enjoyed every minute of their wedding. Not only are they kind and caring people, but loads of fun! We’ve kept in touch over the years and I was thrilled to hear they were expecting a little boy. We walked around the East Bay area to find some abandoned train tracks and ocean views, with Spring blossoming all over. It was a little windy, but no worries at all, these two are always up for an adventure, plus we all got excited for the families of ducks that were close to shore!

So while I won’t be doing their newborn photos (the beauty of referrals, that one takes a specialist!) I can’t wait to see them and continue to capture their family as it grows! Congrats Heather and Connor, and it was SO GOOD to see both of you (we definitely have to do a double date soon)!
