Fall in New Hampshire is a photographer’s dream—crisp air, golden leaves, and soft, natural light. But nature isn’t always predictable. On this particular day, the wind was relentless, making for a brisk and blustery maternity session. But Kristyn was on the brink of her due date and risking postponing the session was not an option. Despite the chill, the results were stunning. There’s something powerful about capturing the anticipation of motherhood in a setting that’s both beautiful and untamed.
The landscape itself did most of the work. Surrounded by trees shedding their last fiery leaves and a sky shifting between blue and gray, the setting was simply perfection. The wind brought an energy to the session that made everything feel more alive, more in the moment. As the session went on, the warmth of the setting sun broke through the clouds, casting a golden glow over everything. The contrast between the crisp air and the sun’s gentle light added an extra layer of depth, making the final moments of the session feel almost surreal.
Despite the wind and cold, this maternity session was one for the books. The weather made it unique, and the raw, unfiltered moments gave the images a natural beauty that wouldn’t have been possible on a calm, sunny day. It was a reminder that sometimes, the best photos come from embracing whatever the day brings.
Thinking about a fall maternity session? Let’s create something real, natural, and truly yours.
