What better way to kick off October with a spooky, Addams Family-inspired maternity session at Swift-Coles Historic Home? Last October, Kayla contacted me about doing an unconventional family maternity shoot with some dark, dramatic vibes. I love it when clients get creative and think outside the box, so I knew this session would be one-of-a-kind!
I met Kayla and her sweet family at the historic property in Bon Secour. Everyone was dressed in black, but they were all smiles and giggles. We started inside the home, taking full advantage of the vintage decor and architecture with a mix of fun candids and serious posed portraits.
The grounds were equally beautiful, so we explored outside a bit, taking photos of the entire family, the siblings, Mom and Dad, and Kayla's maternity portraits. The gnarled oak trees with Spanish moss hanging from the branches were the perfect moody backdrop for this family maternity session.
Kayla and Steven have since welcomed their latest addition and celebrated their 7th anniversary—their maternity photos still rank among my all-time favorites!
Wishing you all a happy and safe spooky season!
