Courtney and Josh’s maternity session at Boaz Park was the perfect mix of relaxed, meaningful, and joy-filled—everything we love about documenting this season of life. Set outdoors with natural light and open space, their session felt easy and personal, with plenty of room to move, laugh, and soak in the anticipation of what’s to come.
One of our favorite parts of this session? Including their dogs. Bringing pets along to maternity photos adds an extra layer of connection and authenticity, and Courtney and Josh’s pups were clearly part of the story. Whether they were walking together or pausing for quiet moments, the dogs brought out genuine smiles and natural interactions—exactly the kind of moments Lightly is known for capturing.
Courtney and Josh opted for an outdoor session that allowed everything to feel unforced and comfortable. With gentle guidance and simple prompts, we focused on movement, connection, and creating images that feel true to them—no overthinking required. For expecting parents who worry about juggling details (especially with pets!), this session is a great reminder that it can be simple and stress-free with the right plan in place.
Maternity sessions like this aren’t about perfect poses—they’re about documenting the in-between moments, the quiet excitement, and the people (and pups) who make this season special.
