A Maternity Session in Gloucester, MA
This maternity session in Gloucester, MA took place on one of those late-summer Saturdays when everything just lines up.
The light was soft and low, the tide was exactly where we needed it, and the forecast gave us just the right kind of warm breeze—not too windy, not too still. The beach was definitely busy (as Gloucester beaches always are in August), but we leaned into it. With a little patience and a lot of smart framing, we made it feel like these two had the entire shoreline to themselves.
And honestly, they did—in the way that really mattered.
They were completely wrapped up in each other and the quiet excitement of what’s ahead: welcoming their baby boy.
Real Moments, Thoughtful Prep & One Perfect Dress
This session wasn’t rushed or overly posed. We moved slowly, giving space for real moments to happen—moments like a hand resting instinctively on her belly, or the way he looked at her when she laughed at something small. That’s the kind of stuff you can’t script.
Before every session, I help clients plan every detail. For this maternity session in Gloucester MA, that meant figuring out the ideal date based on tide charts, checking beach access and sunset timing, and guiding them through outfit planning with my session prep guide.
Sabrina wore a beautifully textured dress from Zebubeyou, one of my go-to artisans for maternity gowns. It had just the right amount of movement and detail to complement the ocean backdrop without competing with it. Simple, elegant, and perfectly her.
I absolutely cannot wait to meet baby Oliver for his Lifestyle Newborn Session in his home! All the best for his arrival, you guys!

Now we wait for baby Oliver’s arrival—and I’m already looking forward to their lifestyle newborn session at home. It’s always special to photograph this next stage with families I’ve already worked with. There’s a natural rhythm, a trust, and a sense of continuity that really shows in the images.
This maternity session in Gloucester MA was the beginning of their story as parents. I can’t wait to keep documenting the milestones that follow.
