There’s something magical about a session in Green Spring Gardens. Located just 20 minutes from Old Town Alexandria, Virginia, this garden offers a stunning backdrop for photos year-round. While it’s beautiful in every season, summer adds a special warmth and glow. This Green Spring Gardens summer maternity session was filled with blooming flowers, lush greenery, and the sweetest family. Jordan and Spencer brought along their adorable toddler and dog. They all braved the DC heat and humidity, still looking beautiful the entire time. Our session was just before sunset, giving us the most soft and warm light in our images.
Maternity sessions are more than just a photoshoot – they’re a way to freeze a moment in time when your family is eagerly awaiting a new addition. The love, the joy, and the excitement are all palpable, and my goal as a photographer is to preserve those emotions in every image. Including the whole family makes it even more memorable – whether it’s the soon-to-be big sister, the family dog, or your partner, these moments become a celebration of the beautiful journey you’re on together. These images serve as timeless reminders of the anticipation and love that surrounded this special time in your lives.
