The McNay Art Museum Maternity Session in San Antonio, TX

This McNay Art Museum maternity session was an absolute dream. Between the stunning scenery, the glowing mama-to-be, and the sweet giggles of their first little girl, Josephine, I was completely in love. I first met this family during Josephine’s natural light in-home newborn session. Now, as they prepare to welcome another little one into their family, I couldn’t be more excited to capture this next chapter for them.

The McNay Art Museum Maternity Session

The McNay Art Museum in San Antonio, TX provided the perfect backdrop for their maternity portraits with its gorgeous gardens, elegant architecture, and soft natural light. We captured a mixture of family portraits with mom, dad, and Josephine together, along with some solo portraits of mom. She looked stunning in her light blue and white flowy dress that complemented the soft, natural tones of the surroundings.

As a San Antonio maternity photographer, I’ve had the honor of documenting countless seasons of motherhood, but there’s something truly special about maternity sessions. These portraits celebrate and preserve one of life’s most transformative and meaningful chapters-the journey to motherhood. Whether it’s your first baby or your fourth, every pregnancy deserves to be remembered and honored.

The Beauty of Maternity Sessions

Pregnancy is extraordinary. Your body is doing something miraculous, and it deserves to be celebrated. A maternity session is your chance to pause and honor that, because it really is fleeting and before you know it, your baby will be in your arms. Capturing your beautiful baby bump, radiant glow, and the sweet anticipation leading up to your baby’s arrival is something that you’ll always cherish.

This session celebrating this family’s second baby was a gentle reminder that every pregnancy is unique and worth documenting. No two journeys to motherhood are the same. Maybe this is your first baby, your rainbow baby, or your last. Each one tells a story all its own in a way that words can’t.

Not only that, but maternity photos are the start of your baby’s story as well. They will fill the first pages of your baby’s album showing how deeply loved they were before they even arrived. Over time, these images become treasured heirlooms and keepsakes for your children and grandchildren to hold onto.

A huge thank you to this beautiful, growing family for choosing me to document this special season of life. Congratulations and I can’t wait to meet your newest bundle of joy!
