Spring Botanical Garden Maternity Session | The Smith Family

Maternity

May 16, 2023

I loved photographing the Smith family for the second time for their Spring Botanical Garden Maternity Session in Mountain Brook, Alabama. It was the perfect backdrop for the Smith family’s maternity session, and I was thrilled to capture their precious moments as a family of three, before they became a family of four.

Kristin and Bryan were beaming with excitement as they talked about their growing family. Their little girl Rowan stole the show with her adorable smile and endless energy. I loved watching her explore the gardens and chase after butterflies. It was clear that she was going to be an amazing big sister. I am also in disbelief how much sweet Rowan has grown since our last session together!

As a mother myself, I always feel a special connection to families with young children. Rowan reminded me so much of my own daughter, Hallie Kate. Rowan had so much spunk and sass, and I couldn’t help but smile every time she giggled. Kristin was an absolute joy to work with. She is incredibly kind and an absolute sweetheart. She was also positively radiant! I loved her flowy maternity dress, jean jacket and wide brimmed hat! Bryan had a great sense of humor and kept us all laughing.

I loved capturing all the special moments between this sweet family. The Birmingham Botanical Gardens provided a lovely backdrop for their Spring Maternity and family Session. I can’t wait to see them again after their newest addition arrives!
