When Tara reached out about her maternity session, I knew this one would be special. She is a physician, and someone who spends her days caring for others through some of life’s most important moments. This session was her turn to simply be present, to slow down, and to celebrate the little girl on her way.
We met on a warm January Saturday in Liberty Downtown. Tara wore a beautiful maroon maxi dress with a black sweater, elegant and timeless. We wandered through Liberty Square, finding light and stories along the brick walls, the iron stairs, and the bench outside Huey’s. Her husband was warm, playful, and completely devoted. There were sweet quiet moments, him holding her belly, the two of them chatting on the stairs like no one else was around. And then there was the moment they decided to compare belly sizes, which made all three of us laugh.
We ended the session inside the coffee shop, where Tara settled in to read a children’s story book to baby Gwendolyn while her husband sipped his coffee beside her. It was the perfect ending to a perfect morning.
