The Raleigh Rose Garden


I love celebrating motherhood. Motherhood is beautiful and hard and exciting and scary. All can be true and they most often are! So I think it's important to celebrate the milestones and celebrate women during this time of life! So that's exactly what we did during a recent maternity session at the Raleigh Rose Garden. With roses in bloom in the afternoon the garden was the perfect setting for capturing this glowing mama’s strength and beauty.

Maternity Session: What to Wear


This gorgeous woman wore a piece from my client closet: a soft, flowing nude tulle robe with a long, dramatic train. It added just the right touch of elegance and softness, and moved beautifully as we moved throughout the garden. The best part? This robe is available to any maternity client who books a session with me—no need to worry about finding the perfect outfit on your own!
