It’s officially SPRING! To start this beautiful season of re-birth and beauty, I’m sharing a maternity session from last spring. Beautiful Tabitha’s forest spring maternity session. It was a cold morning, but sunlight provided a warm glow that was breathtaking! New buds had just started unfurling on the trees, and the tiny leaves looked like brilliant green twinkle lights as the sun shone through. The forest floor was still covered with fall leaves, but bright green moss covered trees coordinate with the new leaves growing above. I chose my sequined see-through maternity gown, which gorgeously complemented the session.
We made our way down the hill to another location that was even more beautiful than the first. A carpet of green leaves dotted with white clovers covered much of the forest floor. The image above captures Tabitha amongst them with the spring trees. That location had incredible light and I shot through leaves on a few images to create a magical forest feel. Unfortunately the ambient temperature was still freezing so Tabitha and I headed to our last location before she froze.
Our final location was near a lake. There was a single tree that still had branches covered in white spring blooms. Behind her was a lake with a luminous weeping willow nearby. Tabitha wore my cream ball gown style maternity dress. Standing below the white blooms with the brilliant green willow, wandering geese, and lake fountain in the background she looked like she was in a fairytale. The sun was getting high and the wind off the lake made the cold colder so we didn’t stay long. For variety and a pop of spring color I added pink to a couple of images in post-processing. It was a beautiful session and I’m thrilled spring is here again!
