There’s something incredibly rewarding about continuing to photograph a couple as their story evolves—and Melissa and Sheldon’s journey has been such a joy to witness. After capturing their beautiful wedding day, I recently had the honor of photographing their maternity session at Bill Baggs State Park. It was the perfect setting for this next chapter, and an ideal location for Miami maternity photography.
Melissa is truly one of the sweetest people I’ve had the pleasure of working with—radiant and full of joy as she awaits the arrival of their little one. And Sheldon? He’ll be the first to tell you he’s not the biggest fan of being in front of the camera, but he always shows up ready to make Melissa smile and ends up doing amazing in every session we’ve done together.
We planned the session in the late afternoon to take advantage of golden hour—and the light did not disappoint. Bill Baggs offered a dreamy mix of soft dunes, sea grass, and glowing skies that gave the photos a romantic, timeless feel. This session was a perfect example of why I love Miami maternity photography—between the scenery and the emotion, there’s so much beauty to work with.
It’s always an honor to photograph clients again and again as their lives grow and change. Melissa and Sheldon’s maternity session was filled with love, warmth, and quiet anticipation. I can’t wait to see them step into this new role as parents—and hopefully, continue documenting their family as it grows.
If you’re looking for a location that combines stunning nature with romantic light, Bill Baggs is a gem for Miami maternity photography.
