Maternity and Newborn Session Pretty in Purple- Footsteps Photography RAF Mildenhall
Wanting to provide the best and most unique experience for my clients, I’m always working on new props and accessories. I designed and sewed these versatile maternity gowns and was anxious to see how they’d look on camera. When I put out a call for a maternity model, Joanne answered at 38 weeks pregnant! We met on the last warm day of the year and the sunset was absolutely stunning, just like this beautiful mama.



I love that the gown can be worn open or closed, depending on your preference. Additional dresses are not far from finished production and will be available for maternity shoots with Footsteps Photography. I’ll be adding lots of fun colors as well. Isn’t Joanne a natural?!



The purple flower headband made an appearance on both mama and baby – it’s the little details that really make these photos so special.
Shortly after her maternity session, Joanne came back to see me with her husband, Andy and their new baby girl, Sophia! Joanne had been referred to me by her fellow moms from the Village Class. I do offer referral incentives so be sure to share Footsteps Photography with all your family and friends to receive a discount on your next session!

After seeing how photogenic her mom was, it came as no surprise that Sophia was a natural in front of the camera as well. She even stuck out her tongue for us!





This little lace headband and the name banner were purchased on Etsy. Joanne brought all sorts of beautiful props and I especially loved that the banner had been used at Sophia’s baby shower.


The cream color is a dream to work with and photographs so beautifully with the softness and perfection of babies natural skin tone. Its a favorite of mine to use during sessions.


For the last few shots of the session, we used the always popular cherry blossom background. The vintage pram is a studio prop and we personalized it by this handmade baby blanket Joanne used as a child.



Thank you, Joanne and Andy, for allowing me to capture these stunning images of your sweet family!

Miller Family -Footsteps Photography RAF Mildenhall
We could not have asked for a more beautiful morning and beautiful light than this.






I love the one-on-ones with her and her parents.


We even had a few photo bombing visitors sneak into the pictures several times.

Beware of the back Duck, he tries to steal flowers off of little girls shoes.
This little duck just wanted his close up. 
Its a good thing I carry my “duck scarier” with me during photo session. It was very helpful 🙂

Briggs Family Maternity and Newborn Sessions – Footsteps Photography RAF Mildenhall
You may remember the Briggs family from a sneak peak photo I posted on the blog. I immediately fell in love with this trio and was looking forward to working with them again. This time around, we focused on Molly’s baby belly and documenting the last few weeks before this threesome became a foursome.


During maternity shoots, I like to keep things very simple, using classic colors and flattering lighting to help my moms feel pretty.



Molly was a great sport and proudly displayed her pregnant belly. When you’re the one who’s pregnant, it can feel like it goes on forever. But in the grand scheme of things, you’re only with child for nine months. How priceless to have these special images showing the strength and beauty that encompasses growing new life.




Joziah Curtis was born August 23rd, borrowing his middle name from his proud daddy, Curtis. Curtis is an avid golfer so we thought it only fitting that his namesake pose with some golf paraphernalia. Move over, Tiger Woods!



Talk about some beautiful genes! Big sister Bella is stunningly gorgeous and was ever so careful while cuddling her new baby brother.


Joziah played his part like a pro, snoozing away while we gently posed him for these sweet pictures.



Molly even brought a special outfit from a local vendor called Kaitie’s Corner. Joziah’s nursery has a sock monkey theme – how precious does he look in little diaper cover and hat? Such a sweet little boy and the perfect match for an already lovely family!

Dugas Maternity Session – Footsteps Photography RAF Mildenhall
Being stationed near a military base means that many of my clients are only here for a short time. Such was the case with the Dugas family. I was lucky enough to capture their maternity photos before they moved back to the States to have their little one.





The weather cooperated so we were able to take a walk through the fields and got some beautiful shots in the summer warmth.




Before the shoot, Nicole shared with me that she had a son named Aidan who had passed away from SIDS in 2005. It was important to her that he be included in the shoot somehow. When she brought out this photo of her handsome little boy, I broke down. As a mother, one of your worst fears is losing a child. Nicole had walked that hard road and my heart went out to her. What a strong, incredible woman and a touching tribute to her beautiful angel, Aidan.



So much love and anticipation for what’s to come.



These last two shots almost didn’t happen as we had a surprise visitor show up at the last minute. I am deathly afraid of snakes so when I saw our unwelcome guest slither in front of me, I lost all composure. Luckily, Stephen saved the day, assured us there were no more snakes, and posed for these last two photos. As you can read in this interview, the entire experience let quite an impression on me. Suffice it to say, this was one of the most emotional shoots I’ve ever had!
