This elegant summer maternity session with Tanya in Covington, Louisiana, was full of soft light, southern charm, and quiet joy. With Tanya expecting her third baby, the goal was to celebrate this season with timeless grace.
This session is proof that weather surprises and pregnancy journeys alike deserve to be embraced and beautifully documented.
As a maternity photographer in Covington, Louisiana, I’ve learned that every session brings its own kind of magic. Tanya’s third pregnancy was a special one—an opportunity to honor not just motherhood, but her unique journey and redemption story.
For this maternity session, Tanya gave me her full trust to style her look. We chose soft, elegant shades of blue that celebrated both her femininity and the excitement of welcoming a baby boy. The look was refined yet comfortable—perfect for the soft textures and tones of our chosen setting.
Though the summer heat was intense, it was a sudden rainstorm that brought an unexpected twist. Instead of rescheduling, we transitioned inside a charming southern home that provided incredible indoor options. The light-filled sunroom, classic porch swing, and vintage decor offered a fresh perspective and a peaceful, timeless feel to the portraits.
Because I know Tanya personally, there was an ease to our time together. It was such a joy to take my time and get creative—experimenting with angles, layers, and natural textures. Tanya herself felt relaxed and even offered some ideas of her own, making the session feel collaborative and joyful.
The final images were more than just photographs—they became keepsakes. Tanya loved them so much she found it difficult to choose favorites. Eventually, she selected several for her baby shower and one particularly striking portrait to frame for her baby boy’s nursery.
Every pregnancy is worthy of celebration, and every mother deserves to feel beautiful. This summer maternity session was a testament to both.
