There’s something extra special about photographing a fellow wedding vendor. When Brooke, the talented planner behind Mountain Magnolia Planning, reached out for her maternity session, I was overjoyed! Just a little over 4 years ago I was photographing her wedding, and now I get to document their newest family endeavor.
Why the Bonneville Shoreline Trail is Perfect for Maternity Photos
Nestled right along the mountainside, the Bonneville Shoreline Trail is one of my favorite hidden gems for Utah photo sessions. It offers a little bit of everything, with tree-lined paths, golden meadows, and hidden nooks with streams flowing through. For expecting moms, it’s both accessible and breathtaking, giving you that outdoorsy feel without having to hike too far.
Editorial Meets Natural Romance
Brooke wore two stunning gowns that brought the session to life. A flowing off-the-shoulder white dress from felt timeless and ethereal against the greenery, while a dramatic blush gown caught the golden light with every movement. The combination created an editorial yet deeply personal feel, perfectly reflecting the beauty of maternity: soft, strong, and full of anticipation.
Capturing Connection
Maternity photos aren’t just about the bump, they’re about the story of your growing family. During this session, Brooke and her husband shared quiet, tender moments under the trees, their love for each other (and their baby) radiating through every frame.
Timeless Memories in Utah’s Outdoors
Utah is home to so many stunning locations, but the Bonneville Shoreline Trail is one that feels both adventurous and intimate. Whether it’s just mom, or mom and dad together, it’s the kind of setting that elevates maternity photos into something artful, romantic, and full of soul.
Call to Action:
If you’re looking for a Utah editorial photographer who blends natural landscapes with romantic, editorial-inspired imagery, I’d love to create something beautiful for you. Let’s celebrate this season of life with photos you’ll treasure forever.
