Horseneck beach maternity portraits. Rhode Island pregnancy photographer creates pregnancy portraits on location in Massachusetts. Beach photography

I am so excited to post this preview today. I just love these portraits! This couple was so much fun to meet and work with. We traveled to Horseneck beach in Massachusetts for their maternity portraits yesterday. We just had to get in one last beach shoot before summer is officially over in New England! Normally shooting on a beach in mid day sun (with not a cloud in the sky) can be some tough light to work with so I was very pleased to get home and see how fantastic these came out! I really love playing with light and I'm starting to get the hang of shooting straight into the sun for some cool flare effects. I have so many new favorites from this session. I hope you love your preview K and J. I can't wait to meet this baby in a few months!

Engagement portraits on Scarborough beach Rhode Island. Rhode Island engagement photographer Heidi Hope Photography

I just love photographing people who are in love.  And static subjects?  Subjects who not only stay in one spot, but can also heed instructions?!?!  Last night's engagement shoot was so much fun.  As you all know, I am totally baby crazy, but once in a while it is so refreshing to shoot adults.  It allows me to be so much more creative with my images.  It brings me back to my fine art roots as I feel like I am composing (or at least have time to compose) a painting of sorts.  I suppose that is what I would most like my photographs to be; paintings created with light.  This is one huge preview and sure to be one huge gallery.  Thanks for being so fun to work with... enjoy your preview!

Maternity Beach Portrait Session: Rhode Island and Massachusetts Maternity Photographer

I LOVE LOVE LOVE being back outdoors! Have I mentioned that? Now that the weather is nice, it seems that every portrait session is my new favorite. Yesterday's is no exception. I am so excited about the images from yesterday's maternity portrait session. This couple was up for anything. We started at the their home taking some studio style photos, so of course we captured all of the classics, but then we headed to second beach in Newport and I just love the portraits we created. Those are the ones that I had to share here. I loved working with the sunlight and playing with all of the qualities that sun, wind, and water lend to a photograph. I will be heading back in a few weeks for Leo's newborn session and I can't wait to work with this couple... soon to be family... again! Enjoy your preview!
