There’s something truly magical about documenting a growing family against the backdrop of the sea, especially when that place holds a special chapter in your family’s story. As a Long Island family photographer, I was honored to capture this heartfelt maternity session at my clients’ beloved Montauk home, perched along the cliffs. With the ocean breeze, golden light, and a touch of bohemian inspiration, we created timeless maternity photos that will be treasured for generations.
It’s completely normal to feel a little nervous before a photo session, especially for expectant parents. My approach as a Hamptons family photographer is always centered on making clients feel comfortable, relaxed, and at ease. Before we began, we chatted and walked the property, allowing the couple to settle in and enjoy the moment. By focusing on natural interactions and genuine connection, their nervousness quickly faded, replaced with laughter and authentic smiles that shine through every image.
Throughout the session, I encouraged the couple to move, laugh, and simply enjoy being together. From gentle embraces on the cliff’s edge to playful moments along the shoreline, each image tells a story of love, anticipation, and joy. The sound of the waves, the salty air, and the laughter shared between the couple made the session feel more like a celebration than a photoshoot.
Maternity sessions are about celebrating both the present and the future - capturing the love, hope, and excitement as you await your newest addition. This Montauk beach maternity session was a beautiful blend of nostalgia and new beginnings, set against the breathtaking scenery of the family’s cherished home. If you’re looking for a family photographer to help you document your unique story, I would be honored to create lasting memories with you.
