Maternity Photoshoot in the Countryside

Last weekend, Dane and I traveled to the country to photograph a lovely family who are expecting a baby boy in December. The autumn weather couldn’t have been any better and we even got to explore the woods a little bit while we were out there. The abandoned barn and the old bridge gave this entire shoot a rustic vibe and I am in love with it. 

One of my favorite parts of this photo shoot was the impromptu flower picking moment shared between the mother and daughter. These are my absolute favorite moments to photograph. Mainly because there is so much more potential there to create a story within the photo which leads to a greater emotional connection with the viewer. So much better than your average posed photograph, in my opinion.   

Thanks for hanging out!
