This maternity session in LA with Kathee and Eduardo was a total heartstring-puller, not just because of the romantic Bridgerton vibes (although yes, that wallpaper? That dress? So good), but because this baby bump was hard-earned. These two went through the emotional journey of IVF to conceive their sweet baby blessing. And after all the doctor visits, the waiting, the hoping, this was their moment to simply soak in the magic of what they created together. Kathee had initially been unsure about doing a maternity session at all. And wow, are we both so glad she said yes. Because these photos? They’re going to be some of the most treasured ones they’ll ever look back on. A time capsule of softness, strength, and the quiet, beautiful anticipation of what’s to come!
Elegant Maternity Session in LA
This dreamy studio tucked in the heart of downtown LA gave us the perfect backdrop. It had everything we needed for those subtle European garden party vibes, romantic wallpaper, filtered light, and sheer curtains that floated in the air like something out of a period drama. Kathee wore two stunning looks: a structured off-shoulder cream gown and a ruffled two-piece with just a peek of her growing belly. Each outfit added to the vintage elegance of the session, while still feeling soft, relaxed, and her. And Eduardo? He matched her energy perfectly, in cozy neutrals, barefoot, and never far from her side. Together, they looked like they stepped out of a painting!

This season of life, right now, with all of its emotion and depth and hope is so worth honoring. Your maternity session doesn’t have to be overly posed or traditional. It can be whatever feels true to you. Soft and elegant, like this one. Outdoorsy and windswept. Playful and full of laughter. Whatever story you want to tell it’s valid, and it’s beautiful!
