A STORY OF FAITH TO PURPOSE | NYC MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHER
Some stories unfold in chapters-and this one began long before the silks and couture we designed for these sessions with a beautiful story full of ‘meant to be’s’. After experiencing heartbreaking loss, Tinina walked into my studio carrying more that just dreams of Motherhood-she carried grace, strength, prayer, and the unwavering faith that one day we would be here! Celebrating her rainbow baby’s arrival couldn’t have been more special together.
We have to rewind this story to fully explain why this session was just so special. Tinina and I met 4 years ago when she came in as a supportive Auntie for her best friend’s maternity session with us. During that shoot we connected right away, the Pisces + Scorpio connection is almost always immediate! We had girl talk and chatted about life, married life, and motherhood and it was an all around great time in the studio together and we’ve stayed in each other's orbit ever since. When she called to tell me the good news I was OVER THE MOON excited to begin planning for her.
We were shooting some images for her baby shower so the color red was the right pop of color that she and her planner C’est Belle Events had coordinated. There’s something incredibly powerful about choosing sensuality and softness when you’re healing. We styled our Mama in couture pieces with bold pops of red — not just for drama, but as a symbol of strength and love. Every look she wore was a statement: “I’m still here. I’m still becoming.”
This maternity shoot celebrated not just the baby she was carrying, but the faith it took to get to this moment. It was bold. It was sacred. And it was undeniably hers.
With their Anniversary coming in they decided to come in to update their family portraits to celebrate this new chapter in their love story. We wanted to celebrate answered prayers and just the overall JOY of being new parents so we kept things light and airy to capture her new Mommy Glow.
From fiery strength to quiet joy — every frame told a new part of their story.
