Christina’s sunrise maternity session took place in Ship Bottom, Long Beach Island—also known as LBI. We met bright and early on Easter Sunday while they were vacationing at the shore. And wow, was it worth the early wake-up call! The sky lit up in soft pastel tones, making the perfect backdrop for this dreamy maternity shoot. Christina wore the prettiest floral dress that flowed beautifully in the breeze, and the way her husband looked at her? Pure love. From the first photo to the last, this sunrise maternity session felt straight out of a storybook. It was quiet, peaceful, and absolutely magical. The couple laughed, cuddled, and soaked up every moment together. You could just feel how excited they were to meet their baby soon. These are the types of sessions that remind me why I love what I do—moments that are both intimate and joyful, captured against a breathtaking beach sunrise.
Let’s talk about why I’m obsessed with sunrise maternity sessions. First off, the lighting is perfect. Soft, glowy, and super flattering, especially on the beach. Also, you don’t have to fight crowds—just you, your partner, and the ocean breeze. Christina and her husband embraced every moment. He kissed her belly, she laughed freely, and they danced barefoot in the sand. Honestly, it was such a vibe. The cool morning air and peaceful setting made it even more special. If you’re thinking about maternity photos, I highly recommend going for a sunrise maternity session. The energy is unmatched, the photos are magical, and it gives you the whole day ahead to enjoy. Christina’s session checked all the boxes: romantic, relaxed, and full of love. I left that morning with a full heart and a full camera roll. Sunrise maternity sessions? Always, always a yes.
