Natalie + Andrew, a Radiant Texas Maternity Session

Lovers Natalie and Drew invited us back to Texas to capture yet another one of the most amazing chapters of their lives. Spending a golden-hour evening right outside of Austin with these cuties was such a dream and dang did it take maternity sessions to a whole new level.

We first met these babes back in 2021 when we capture their stunning Camp Lucy wedding. Ever since that ethereal spring evening, we’ve been the biggest fans of The Hiseys. On top of having one of the most iconic weddings of all time, we were over the moon when these Texas hunnies were also featured in Brides of Austin.

We already know that Drew and Natalie are going to be the sweetest, most incredible parents of all time, cheers to the most exciting adventure yet babes!

Audry + Logan, an Adventurous Mountain Maternity Session

Nearly two years after their divine wedding in Taos Ski Valley, angels Logan and Audry are about to become parents for the very first time. We spent the dreamy evening in the foothills with these cuties and it was truly the most picturesque maternity session of all.

Audry and Logan initially met in college and after almost a decade, together along with a move across the country, these hunnies tied the knot in late summer of 2021. Finally ready to embark on yet another exciting journey, Logan and Audry are growing their little family with a sweet little babe this spring.

We’re over the moon for these two and all of their incredible chapters together, we already know that they’re going to be the most amazing parents ever!

Matt + Lauren, a Cozy Maternity Session

Cuties Lauren and Matt trusted us to capture this uniquely special time and we’re so glad they did! This evening near Tingley Beach gave us all the cozy, baby vibes.

These two first met in their college dorm freshman year and grew close as friends until their senior year when they became official. Matt recalls the exact moment he first laid eyes on Lauren and can still go back to that very first memory and even remembers what she was wearing. Talk about love at first sight!

These lovers have been married for over a year and together for ten, but the greatest adventure is ahead of them as they look forward to welcoming their sweet baby boy into the world this April. We’re truly over the moon for these sweethearts and their new addition. Matt and Lauren, we can’t wait for you guys to begin this dreamy new journey this spring!

Sheree, a Desert Maternity Session

Just a few months ago we got to capture this sweet little mama-to-be in the middle of the desert. Even though those canyon winds came around, we still captured some of the sweetest moments!

Sheree, who is literally going to be the most stunning mom around, was a dream to capture. From her stellar outfits to that beautiful floral crown to her adorable pup, this session was such a special one.

Congrats on your new little chapter beautiful, we were grateful to capture a tiny piece of it!!!

Nicole, Maternity + Newborn Sessions

Even though its been a while since we’ve captured a maternity or a newborn session, we knew that we had to make both moments extra special for new mama Nicole!

Nicole and our girl Alicia are friends that go way back, becoming besties nearly 20 years ago! They’ve made a ton of amazing little memories along the way, but for Alicia nothing is quite as memorable as this moment right here! The pregnancy and birth of Nicole’s baby girl, Sophia, was a major highlight of 2020 and it brought so much joy and happiness. Alicia is so proud of her amazing friend turned mama, Nicole, and is beyond excited to see her on this new journey of motherhood!

About a month ago we ventured out into the stunning bosque for the prettiest maternity session with Nicole and her sweet pup Kanga. Our hair and makeup angel Genica helped Nicole glow just a little extra and it was such a special evening to be a part of.

Just a few weeks later, heavenly little Sophia came into this world and we once again had the privilege of capturing beautiful Nicole being the incredible mama she was always meant to be, along with her amazing sister, for the most perfect newborn session.

Nicole, we can’t wait to see how your love for precious Sophia grows, we love and admire you beyond belief!

I was so happy to hear from Natasha earlier this year when she scheduled her maternity session. I've photographed both of her nieces, so it was a treat to get her in front of the camera, in probably the most beautiful time of her life. Isn't she just absolutely radiating and glowing with happiness? 

I absolutely loved photographing these two.. well three, I suppose! ;) SO excited to meet this precious baby girl!!
