As a photographer, there’s nothing quite like capturing a maternity session that feels personal and meaningful. Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing Andrew and Mattea as they prepare to welcome their little one into the world. But this wasn’t just any session, it was extra special because it was held in their very own, newly-settled home.
Andrew and Mattea have poured so much love into making this house a home, and it really comes through in the photos. There’s something incredibly intimate about capturing these moments in their own space. It’s not just about the photos, it’s about the stories and memories that those walls already hold and the ones waiting to unfold!
Starting off in their cozy living room with a crackling fire in the background, we embraced all those relaxed vibes! Mattea was glowing, and their darling dog was eager to join the session, adding to those candid and heartfelt moments. Trust me, nothing beats couch snuggles with your pup when it comes to authentic smiles.
We ventured upstairs to the nursery, a space they’ve prepared for the baby’s arrival!! It’s decorated with so much thought and care, reflecting their excitement and love. Capturing Mattea standing there, surrounded by little onesies and stuffed animals, felt like capturing a piece of their dreams.
Outside, we couldn’t forget the trusty truck parked out front. It’s been their adventure buddy, and you can almost feel its stories weekend getaways, road trips, and many more journeys to come with a baby car seat in the back.
As they look back on these photos in years to come, I hope Andrew and Mattea are transported back to this time in their life! If you’re considering where to have your maternity session, consider home sweet home. It brings a whole new layer of magic, providing a space that says, “Here’s where it all began.”
Until next time, stay cozy and capture those memories wherever they feel most you!

“Laurel did a magnificent job taking our wedding pictures. The whole process was so seamless! I arrived to our beach wedding she had been there early taking pictures and getting the most perfect shots. She did a great job organizing all of our wild families to get a group picture, and telling us different couples poses to do. The pictures turned out so beautiful.”
