If you were searching “maternity photographer Fort Lauderdale”, you are in the right place, mama! Can we take a moment for how stunning this mama looks? We did this session right before their newborn session with me and it was just magic.
Maternity sessions are the perfect way for expecting parents who have also booked me for their newborn session to connect with me before baby arrives. It’s a relaxed first step that makes your newborn photoshoot even easier when the time comes.
A Glowing Maternity Session in Fort Lauderdale
Expecting baby number three, a sweet little boy, this beautiful mama was absolutely glowing and rocked her maternity session with style and grace. And can we talk about these two proud big sisters? Literally the sweetest children! All smiles, showering their mama’s baby bump with nonstop hugs and kisses.
When I asked them to cuddle with their mama and the both had their heads in her lap I nearly squealed! It was such a beautiful moment for this Fort Lauderdale maternity photographer!
It might be one of my favorite maternity photos ever. They’re already so in love with their baby brother! We even joked about who would be in charge of changing diapers, and let’s just say neither of them volunteered for the job.

Capturing a genuine connection and real joy during every maternity photo shoot is so important to me. A maternity session is to capture the beautiful anticipation that comes with your growing family.
This was my third session with this family, and because I already knew the girls and their personalities, it made it so much easier to bring out those authentic expressions.
Such sweet girls, big sister was always watching over and leading her little sister through the session, never leaving her behind. Watching my newborn clients grow into big siblings is such a privilege—it’s one of the most special parts of my job.
When to Schedule Your Maternity Photoshoot- My Advice to Clients
Mom was 32 weeks along during our session- right in that sweet spot between 30 and 35 weeks.

This is while you’re still comfortable enough to move easily and your bump is beautifully rounded.

Where to Take Maternity Photos in Fort Lauderdale, Florida
I’ve lived in South Florida for 38 years (a long time!), so I know there is no shortage of breathtaking spots for maternity photography! And I feel so strongly that the location absolutely is part of your session’s story.
For this mom’s photography session, I knew of a hidden gem tucked away- not a park or marked spot. It is super lush with greenery and decorated with the most amazing texture of hanging Spanish Moss.
I LOVE finding these kind of locations. I’ll admit it, I can drive my family crazy sometimes because I will insist on pulling over to investigate a random spot to see if it will work for a session. But is always worth it!
