Snowy Maternity Photos at Shaver Lake
What a beautiful day it was at Shaver Lake as Samantha and Adam ventured into the breathtaking winter wonderland for their snowy maternity photos. The temperature was just right, and a light dusting of snow blanketed the ground,. The sun shone gently, casting a soft glow over the immaculate snow-covered landscape, and the evergreen trees stood tall and majestic in the background.
Capturing a snowy session can often be challenging, with unpredictable weather, chilling temperatures, and uncertain road conditions. Yet, this day was a dream come true. A winter storm had swept through the area earlier in the week, gifting Samantha with the opportunity to embrace her vision of capturing their maternity photos in the snow.

Samantha stood resplendent in a stunning, form-fitting black gown that gracefully adorned her growing belly. The striking contrast of black against the pristine white snow created an ethereal and captivating scene. It seemed as though nature was conspiring to add an extra touch of enchantment to this beautiful session.
The right look for you
I understand that finding just the right dress for your maternity session can be challenging. That’s why I offer access to my client closet, where you can find beautiful, flowy dresses in various sizes that photograph beautifully. However, clients are also welcome to shop on their own and wear what they’d like! Some of my favorite shops for maternity dresses include Baltic Born, Morning Lavender, and Pink Blush. Your comfort and confidence are absolutely paramount. I’m here to support you every step of the way in creating a look that reflects your unique style and personality.





A Privilege
What made this session particularly special was the history I shared with this wonderful couple. A couple years ago, I had the privilege of documenting their intimate wedding in Santa Barbara. Now I was given the honor of capturing their journey into parenthood. Reconnecting with them and connecting over the highs and lows of pregnancy, sharing in their laughter and trepidation, and ultimately celebrating their love and the imminent arrival of their baby girl was deeply moving.
Photography, for me, is about far more than simply capturing beautiful images. It’s about building lasting relationships and creating tangible memories of love, hope, and new beginnings. Samantha and Adam’s snowy maternity photos at Shaver Lake encapsulated the very essence of what makes my work as a photographer so deeply fulfilling. It’s about crafting a visual narrative that conveys the tenderness, anticipation, and joy that define significant moments in the lives of my clients.






Samantha and Adam, thank you for entrusting me to document this cherished chapter in your lives. Your love and connection are an inspiration. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to have shared this moment with you and look forward to witnessing the next chapter in your lives as a growing family. You are going to be wonderful parents to your baby girl.
