spring maternity session

A Spring Blossoms Maternity Photo Session in Lancaster County Park

Lancaster County Park is probably my absolute favorite location to do photo sessions year round, but it especially shines in the spring. My other top spring location is Buchmiller Park because you can find the weeping cherry trees there along with an old magical crab apple tree where the light hits just right at golden hour.

This maternity photo session happened in the first half of April which is typically peak spring for flowering trees. I love the ethereal romantic periwinkle blue dress that Dana wore. I had to make sure to take photos with the sunlight shining through the tulle. If you are thinking about scheduling maternity photos, I recommend planning on somewhere between 28-34 weeks pregnant. Luckily we fit this photo session in just in time because their baby boy ended up arriving early, just a week after these photos were taken!

A Spring Maternity Session in the Weeping Cherry Trees at Lancaster County Park

A golden hour spring maternity session in the weeping cherry trees at Lancaster County Park

This was my first official spring session of 2021 and I have to say it is a hard one to beat. My dear friend Magdiel is absolutely stunning and when she asked me to take her maternity photos for her fourth and final baby I was immediately on board. I had her model a unique vintage bohemian lace dress that I have in my client closet by Cora and Violet. The golden hour light was perfect and the way the sun came through the weeping pink cherry tree was heavenly. As I type this, the family is now at home adjusting to life with their newborn baby girl who joined the family in May. I will let the images below speak for themselves because honestly I could gush about them forever.
