When Jaylee and Brandon pulled up in their vintage VW bus for their beach maternity photos, I knew we were in for something truly special. The warm tones of the bus perfectly complemented the golden hour light, creating a dreamy, bohemian vibe that made their session feel like a scene from a nostalgic seaside film. Starting out with candid moments inside the bus, Jaylee’s radiant glow as an expectant momma filled every frame. Her connection with Brandon and the excitement they shared for their growing family was absolutely heartwarming.

After spending some time with the bus as our backdrop, we made our way down to the sand. The soft waves and pastel hues of the sunset provided the most stunning natural canvas for intimate portraits. Jaylee’s flowing dress caught the ocean breeze perfectly, adding an ethereal touch to the photos. The way the light reflected off the water felt like pure magic, enhancing the joy and anticipation in every shot.

As a mom of two myself, maternity photos hold a special place in my heart. Capturing the beauty, strength, and love of soon-to-be mothers is something I cherish deeply. I know how fleeting these moments can feel, and it’s my joy to preserve them for families to look back on for years to come.
