There’s something so magical about maternity sessions. They celebrate love, transformation, and the beauty of new life. When Angelica and Jacob reached out to schedule their maternity photos, I knew we were about to create something truly special. Their connection, excitement, and laid-back energy made this one of the most heartwarming sessions I’ve had the pleasure of photographing.


If you’re looking for inspiration—or just casually browsing for the best maternity photographer in Albuquerque—this little peek into their session might be exactly what you need.

A Stunning Sunset at Los Poblanos Open Space

Golden hour at Los Poblanos Open Space is something else. Nestled in the heart of Albuquerque, this spot gives you the best of wide-open skies, mountain views, and peaceful natural surroundings. For Angelica and Jacob’s maternity session, we timed it just right to catch the soft glow of the setting sun. It lit up her lavender dress and created this dreamy, warm tone across every photo.


Los Poblanos has quickly become one of my favorite spots for maternity photography in Albuquerque.


Location Matters—And Albuquerque Has So Much to Offer

Choosing a session location isn’t just about the view—it’s about the energy. Los Poblanos gave us space to breathe, walk, and really let Angelica shine. She brought the perfect mix of elegance and personality, especially with those cowgirl boots (iconic, right?).


Whether you're drawn to mountain backdrops, grassy fields, or rustic charm, Albuquerque has some of the best scenery for capturing your pregnancy journey.


Angelica’s Style Was Effortless

Angelica chose a flowing, open-front lavender gown that highlighted her bump beautifully while giving her room to move. Paired with her cowgirl boots and bold tattoo, the look was 100% her—feminine, strong, and confident. It’s always so fun when outfits reflect your personality.


A Beautiful Connection Between Two Parents-to-Be

Throughout the shoot, Jacob was so thoughtful—holding Angelica’s hand, keeping her laughing, and sharing little glances that said more than words ever could. It’s that kind of connection that makes maternity photos feel truly personal. You’re not just documenting a bump—you’re capturing a love story that’s about to grow.


Why Maternity Photography Is Worth It

Life moves fast. These final weeks of pregnancy are fleeting, and having images that capture the beauty, emotion, and excitement of this season is a gift to your future self—and your child. Maternity photos become a part of your family’s story.


If you’re considering booking, the sweet spot is usually between 28–34 weeks.
