Caitlin's Maternity Session | Miami, FL Photographer

Caitlin’s maternity session felt extra special because she is my first cousin, and I have photographed her family in this same spot before. I shot her sister here, then my brother, and now Caitlin with her growing family. Amelia Earhart Park in Hialeah has this incredible ability to make you forget you are in the middle of the city. The light is beautiful, the shade is lovely, and it gives us so much room to create something soft and natural.

Big brother Maverick was the sweetest part of the morning, full of curiosity and excitement about what is coming next. Lifestyle maternity sessions are always a mix of gentle posing and simple prompts, and Maverick responded so well. His personality came through in every moment, and watching him love on his mom made the whole session feel even more meaningful.

We wrapped up with a visit to the goats, which has become a bit of a tradition at this park. It was the perfect ending to a calm, happy morning. As a South Florida family photographer, I love documenting these milestones in places that feel familiar and full of heart. If you are planning a maternity or family session and want photos that feel warm, natural and true to your story, I would be honored to photograph your family.

Kim, Derek, and Matthew because he’s 2!

I have never been more grateful for parents’ supervision than I was during this session!  Matthew is an energetic and fearless 2 year old boy!  He is also a great talker.  We started off our session by the lake, throwing rocks in, where he was one foot in, and would have had gone for a swim had mom and dad not been there to pull him back.  Then we crossed the bridge and went over to the farm village, Matthew announcing that he was running the whole way.  We found some more water to explore over there in a little man-made stream.  Matthew was ready to dive in head first!  Thankfully, dad has quick hands!  I also happened to capture that moment.  Looking and smiling pics are great, but that one captures their family and their life at this stage better than any other!  We finished our session by the tractor, where Matthew happily announced he was playing on the tractor, and was sad to say goodbye at the end of our session.  Kudos to these parents for happily keeping up with their energetic boy, and if you can ever find a way to bottle his leftover energy, you’ll be billionaires!
