Sometimes the backup plan turns out to be the better story.
Aileen had envisioned sunflowers for her maternity session, but after this summer’s South Louisiana drought had other ideas, we moved to the rose garden at LSU Burden Gardens instead.
And considering the little girl they’re waiting to meet is named Maya Rose, I’d say we ended up exactly where we were supposed to be.
Soft morning light, blooming roses, Chase + Aileen soaking in these last weeks before becoming parents—and, of course, Stella making sure she was included in the family portraits before her promotion to big sister.
This is everything I love about maternity photography: beautiful portraits, yes, but also documenting what your family looks and feels like right before everything changes.
Maya Rose, you are already so very loved.
