The photos I’m sharing with you today turned out so beautifully. As I was editing all the preview pictures for this blog post, I kept getting more and more excited with how they all turned out. This flower farm and Leland beach maternity session couldn’t have gone better!

Before I debut this session, though, I want to first tell you about Lauren and Brent. We met up at the Iris Farms on a beautiful, sunny Saturday evening and Lauren was just glowing. I knew we were in for some awesome photos with this amazing couple and their cute little guy Luke!

Lauren brought a couple outfits and she looked stunning in both of them. I loved the casual shorts and tank top for the beach photos. And the tee shirt for little Luke, “Oh Snap! I’m going to be a big brother!” I just love it and will be buying it for my son before he becomes a big brother in October!

Lauren was looking for photos in a flower field and on the beach. You can’t beat the beach in Leland for the sunsets, and we were lucky enough to catch the irises while they were still mostly in bloom.

Overall, we had a really wonderful time together and I know that Lauren and Brent are going to make the best parents to their little angel. And Luke will be a great big brother!

Oh, and if you’re wondering if it’s a boy or girl, you’ll have to wait – with mom and dad – to find out what it is!

Until then, check out these gorgeous photos!

Mom had read somewhere…ahem, Pinterest, I’m looking at you…that putting peanut butter on baby’s head would lead to an adorable shot of doggy loving on baby. Well, let me confess, while their pup did give baby Lyla a big old lick, it didn’t translate well in pictures! Instead, it looked like she was trying to gobble baby girl up! Luckily, we got a shot of the two together, without any peanut butter induced kisses.

While Lyla would have rather snuggled with her momma than be a newborn photography model, she did drift off and I was able to get some very peaceful, sleeping baby shots, which is always the goal.

I’m still new to the world of newborn photography, but with more shoots like this one with Miss Lyla, I could really see myself enjoying this! And maybe someday, I’ll be able to pull off the Pinterest-inspired, dog licking the baby shot!
