Glitter and Glam Maternity Session

This gorgeous natural maternity session raised the bar on maternity photos with that sequin stunner! The sweet couple and baby bump were, of course, the stars of the shoot and Shalyn from Love, The Nelsons captured the beauty of their love and journey flawlessly. They will truly treasure these photos forever!

from Shalyn…

Our theme for this shoot was mostly inspired by just the real, natural, raw beauty of motherhood and added a touch of sparkle.  We really wanted to focus on the beauty, sacredness, and urethral side of pregnancy while at the same time, adding some glam to show that pregnany CAN be glamorous and stunning. We decided to choose a location that was simple, in nature, and solely concentrated on just her and allowed for no distractions. When I photographed this session, I just wanted to completely focus on her beauty, her bump, and represent the beautiful journey of motherhood that she is about to embark on.

From Jessica Deford (the mom-to-be)… 

“When I thought about what I wanted our maternity photos to be, I never envisioned the amazingness that Shalyn from Love, The Nelsons created. I knew I wanted to wear my sequin dress, barefoot, with water, a flower crown, and my precious husband. Beyond that, Shay took it to a whole new level of amazing. It’s everything I could have imagined in a maternity session, and more. Beyond words.

We are so excited to (soon!) become parents to our wonderful blessing! Motherhood is something I have always dreamed of but being days away from our due date, I am overjoyed with emotion and love at the idea of it actually coming true. I am so thankful to have these amazing photos to remind me of the amazing, beautiful experience of being pregnant has been.”
