This one’s for the earthy mamas, the free spirits, and the ones who want their pregnancy captured in a way that feels real organic, beautiful, and soulful.
As a Lehigh Valley maternity photographer, I have been lucky to shoot all over the lehigh valley. But Golden hour, it’s a whole vibe. The light hits different. And when you mix that dreamy light with soft textures, natural elements, and a mama who is glowing inside and out, you get magic.
Let’s get this out of the way first, golden hour is that time just after sunrise or right before sunset when the sun is low in the sky, casting that warm, golden glow. Think soft light, no harsh shadows, and that perfect warmth that wraps everything in a little extra beauty.
It’s hands-down my favorite time to shoot. Especially maternity sessions.
Why? Because it enhances everything you’re already feeling connected, calm, and deeply in tune with the little life you’re growing. And visually? It complements that boho, earthy style so perfectly. The way the light filters through tall grasses or peeks through trees… ugh, It’s everything!
This particular session took place just outside of Allentown, located at the Trexler Nature Preserve tucked into one of my favorite open fields surrounded by tall golden grass and just enough wildflowers to make you feel like you stepped into a dream. We styled the session with earthy tones, soft flowing fabrics, and barefoot vibes (always encouraged).
The mama wore a gorgeous neutral-toned dress with lace details, and we paired it with a wide-brimmed hat and minimal accessories. Nothing overdone, just effortless beauty and intentional simplicity.
What made it even more special was how laid-back and natural the entire session felt. That’s always my goal. I never want you to feel posed or stiff. I guide you gently so we capture real connection, soft touches, glances, laughter, and those quiet in-between moments that say everything.
When I say “boho,” I’m not just talking about rattan and fringe (although I love those too). I’m talking about capturing energy freedom, softness, and grounded beauty.
Earthy and boho isn’t about being trendy. It’s about photographing you as you are, in a space that lets you breathe and be. Whether that’s spinning barefoot in the grass, sitting cross-legged in the sun, or cradling your belly while the wind plays with your hair, I’m here for that version of you!
I get it, planning a photo session while growing a tiny human can feel like a lot. But I’ve got you. From styling help to location scouting to making sure the timing is just right for that golden light, I take care of all the little details so you don’t have to stress.
