A Golden Hour Maternity Session Near Athens, GA

There’s something truly magical about a maternity session during golden hour—and this recent shoot with the sweetest couple (and their adorable pup!) was no exception. Although we shot at Thomas Farm Preserve in Watkinsville, GA, this peaceful, natural setting is just a short drive from Athens, making it a perfect location for anyone searching for an Athens GA maternity photographer.


Why Choose a Maternity Session in Nature?

I specialize in lifestyle maternity photography that feels relaxed, warm, and joy-filled. During this session, we wandered through open fields, wildflowers, and golden light while capturing authentic moments of love and anticipation. The couple’s connection was beautiful—and their black lab added such a fun, personal touch to their images!


Whether you're looking for a simple, natural backdrop or something more styled, outdoor maternity sessions around Athens, Georgia offer so much variety. From grassy fields to woodlands and wildflowers, there's no shortage of scenic spots just minutes outside the city.
