About 20 months ago, I photographed this beautiful mama in a blue gown surrounded by butterflies, pregnant with her first baby, a boy. At the time, they represented a rainbow after the storm. ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿฆ‹

Now sheโ€™s expecting a little girl, and somehow, without even thinking about it, I found myself bringing the butterflies back. I just spiritually and mentally associate this client with butterflies. I donโ€™t know whyโ€ฆ it just seems right.

As an artist, I subconsciously create things without even realizing what Iโ€™m doing. Sometimes Iโ€™ll create something for a client and they burst into tears and ask me, โ€œHow did you know?โ€

Art goes deeper than just talent. It comes from intuition and the soul. My art has always been soul driven.

The red gown portrait is a composite I created using fabric, flowers, butterflies, and individual elements blended together in Photoshop. I wanted to share the before and after because I think itโ€™s important to show the artistry behind the final image.

Some women donโ€™t just step in front of the cameraโ€ฆ they become art. My goodness she is beautiful! I knew it from the moment she walked through my studio door!

This mama looks like she belongs in a fine art painting. The rich shadows, luminous skin, cascading fabric, and painterly textures all came together to create something truly timeless.

Iโ€™ve had this giant 12ร—10 backdrop from Cole Art Backdrops - Dana Cole Art for months, waiting for the perfect opportunity to bring it to life. And then this stunning woman stepped in front of it. I couldnโ€™t have imagined a more beautiful muse.

Sheโ€™s expecting her third little oneโ€ฆ and the sweetest part? Itโ€™s a surprise! ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿ’•

Boy or girl, this baby is already so loved and Iโ€™m honored to capture this beautiful chapter of her familyโ€™s story.

Thereโ€™s something magical about maternity portraits that feel less like photographs and more like heirloom artwork. Soft light, dramatic shadows, luxurious fabrics, and a little bit of imagination. This is the kind of portraiture I will never stop loving.

And a little behind the scenes: I brought this entire vision to life in the studio today, from the lighting and posing to the final photograph. She arrived camera-ready, but for this particular look, we added clip-in hair extensions to give her shorter hair a little extra length and volume. I keep extensions in the studio specifically for setups like these, where those little styling details help complete the vision.

Sometimes, itโ€™s the smallest details that make the biggest difference.
