For most of his life, my grandson has been the baby. So when we met on Navarre Beach for my daughter’s maternity portraits, I told him, “Go hug the baby.”
He knew exactly what I meant. He walked over to his mama, wrapped his arms around her belly and hugged his baby brother. 💙
And oh, how I love these images. I love my amazingly beautiful daughter with the gorgeous blue dress in the gulf (the image my son-in-law specifically requested). The sweet little big brother hugs, while he was still the only child. And the hilarious images after I asked Sam to whisper to Katie how he felt about the new baby coming.
I put the whole story on the blog today, including why Navarre was the right beach for this family and why maternity photos don’t have to be only about Mom.
Navarre Beach Maternity Photos: Waiting for Baby as a Family
Palm Beach County is home for Traci Sproule Photography, but family brings me to the Pensacola/Navarre area pretty regularly — and my camera always comes with me. 💙
They were still a family of three, but baby brother was already part of the story. This Navarre Beach maternity session was less about perfect posing and more about remembering the sweet, funny season right…
