A Summer Maternity Shoot at Carmel Clay
Chelsea & Joe
I had the absolute pleasure of capturing Chelsea and Joe’s intimate elopement in June 2025, and just a few months later, in September, we reunited to document an equally meaningful chapter of their story, Chelsea’s maternity session. From “just married” to preparing to welcome their first child together, it was an honor to witness and photograph this season of transition and growth.
Both Chelsea and Joe came into their relationship with children from previous chapters, making this pregnancy especially significant as they prepare to welcome their first baby together. The session felt deeply intentional, filled with excitement, tenderness, and the quiet confidence of a couple building something beautiful.
Chelsea is a woman with a clear vision, and she brought that creativity fully to life. With thoughtfully chosen props and a charming setup in the park, the session felt playful yet elevated—editorial in style while still warm and authentic. The result was a collection of maternity photos that felt fun, unique, and art-driven, blending natural surroundings with styled details in a way that felt effortlessly chic.
This gallery is a celebration of love, family, and the magic of honoring life’s in-between moments captured in a way that feels timeless, personal, and refined.
