I have had SOOO many Maternity Portraits lately. I'm not complaining, I'm actually absolutely LOVING IT. When this husband contacted me, he mentioned their daughter's name means "Golden" and he wanted the maternity photos to reflect that. Immediately, here in Florida I pictured golden sunlight and suggested their sunset beach Maternity Photo Session be in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL.

This time we got to meet for a Classic Newborn session and 3 more times to be able to capture their sweet boy's first year. For this First Birthday
