Amber + Curtis | Lifestyle Beach Maternity Photos at Hanna Park in Jacksonville, Florida

On March 20th, 2021, I had the pleasure of capturing my gorgeous sister-in-law’s maternity photos during her visit to Jacksonville, Florida for her baby shower. Her hubby, Curtis, also joined in! Their session took place at Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park in Jacksonville, Florida. This North Florida beach park was such a stunning change of scenery for me! There was Spanish moss everywhere and we had the beach nearly all to ourselves, because it was FREEZING and extremely WINDY!! We barely made it on to the beach before we had to turn around! It’s definitely something this South Florida girl isn’t used to in March… or any month for that matter! But it made for some dreamy beach maternity photos!

Luckily, we decided to start their session under the Spanish moss and were protected from most of the wind! Their first set of photos reminded me of their engagement photos that I captured two years ago in Vero Beach, Florida. Both settings were so dreamy! I really love Spanish moss, can you tell? Their simple session turned out so pretty!

Amber & Curtis: I’m so happy we had the chance to do your maternity photos during your time in Florida! I hope you love them! Andrew and I are beyond excited to meet our niece! We love you all!

Emily's Palm Beach Lifestyle Maternity Photos

Emily's Palm Beach Lifestyle Maternity Photos

Since the first day of preschool, Emily and I have been best friends. We were there for each other on those scary first days of school, throughout middle and high school mission trips, on each others wedding days and now as we set into a new seasons of life.

After Emily married the love of her life in July of 2015, she and her husband moved to Texas. Even though we don't live in the same city anymore, we still get to see each other two or three times a year and when we are together it's like nothing has changed. During her time in town for the holidays, we decided to capture a few maternity photos on Palm Beach Island!

Emily's maternity session took place on the dreamy seashore of Palm Beach Island. Her lifestyle maternity shoot was a simply perfect reflection of my best friend in her favorite place--Palm Beach.

This is such an exciting season and I feel so blessed to walk through these sweet moment with her. I cannot wait to welcome little Owen Hitchcock to this world in April 2017! Here are a few of my favorite photos from her session.
