Fort Worth Maternity Photography // Garden Maternity Photos

There’s something special about photographing a family maternity session in a new spot. This Fort Worth garden location was the perfect mix of peaceful and Texas vibes. The light filtered through the trees, and the gravel areas gave the kids plenty of space to explore. It felt relaxed, natural, and exactly what I want my families to experience.

Choosing the Right Location

When I scout a location for your session, I think about how it will feel for your family. When is the light at its best? Are there safe, open spaces for little ones to play? Will the background add to your story without distracting from it? Are there any special needs to consider? Are certain days crowded or is the location more secluded? These details make a location more than just a backdrop – they shape how your unique session unfolds.

Light is one of the biggest deciding factors in location decisions. As a family photographer in Fort Worth, I scout locations constantly! Almost any spot can work, but how the light hits and interacts with the space is key. Some locations shine just 1–2 hours before sunset, while others look best early or mid-morning. Over the years, I’ve been able to find plenty of favorite spots across DFW for every time of day and season.

Creating the Session Experience

Wardrobe adds to the feel of your session. Flowy dresses catch the light and move beautifully adding variety to your final gallery. Soft neutrals or earth tones blend seamlessly with natural surroundings. If you want to add more color because that’s true to you, don’t hesitate! I can suggest the best locations to complement your outfit choices, too. At this session, mom’s dress from my client closet added the perfect touch of tenderness and flow.

What stood out most about this session wasn’t just the location or outfits – it was how at ease the family felt. They focused on loving on each other, and we followed the little ones’ lead throughout. The giggles, the tender hand on mom’s belly, the way dad leaned into mom – those are the moments that matter most.

FAQ: Locations, Timing, and Wardrobe

Do we have to choose the location ourselves?

Not at all! I will suggest options based on your family’s style and needs. We’ll collaborate ahead of time to bring your vision to life if you have anything specific in mind. And, if you already have a favorite spot in mind, just let me know!

What time of day is best for photos?

It depends. I love evening sessions 1–2 hours before sunset, but morning light can be just as beautiful. We’ll choose the best time based on your location, the season, and your family’s needs.

What should we wear for our maternity session?

You are welcome to borrow from my client closet, which includes a variety of flattering, bump-friendly dresses. I’ll also provide a style guide with outfit ideas, helping you feel confident and making the process easy and stress-free.

BEHIND THE LENS

I'm Amber

I’m a photographer located in the Fort Worth area where I live with my husband and our two kids. 

I’ve had a camera in hand since childhood, but it wasn’t until motherhood that I truly wished I could freeze time.

As a mom to two young kids, I know just how quickly the seasons pass. With coffee in one hand and a never-ending to-do list in the other, photography gives us the space to pause, slow down, and truly cherish the memories.

My goal for every session is to capture your family in a way that is authentic, while making the process easy and meaningful. I want you to look back at your photos years from now and see just how beautiful it all was.
