Laura and RJ’s maternity session on Long Beach Island was such a special one for us. We’ve had the joy of photographing their engagement, wedding, and family sessions over the years, so being able to document this next chapter in their story felt incredibly meaningful. Watching their family grow – now with a little one on the way – has been one of those full-circle moments we truly love about what we do.
We met them on the beach for a relaxed, breezy evening session, complete with their two golden retrievers who, as always, brought all the fun and personality. The soft coastal light, gentle waves, and quiet shoreline made the perfect backdrop for maternity photos that feel warm, natural, and full of love. Laura and RJ have such an easy connection, and that joy showed in every moment we captured.
Sessions with them are always a blast, and this one was no exception. We couldn’t be more excited for their growing family and can’t wait to meet – and photograph – their new baby when they arrive!
