In the quiet evening down in Carlsbad, Jasmin and Dave’s Terramar Point maternity session unfolded with excitement for their impending parenthood. As they walk together, exchanging laughs and sharing tender moments, their anticipation for their first baby is palpable. Jasmin and Dave are dear friends of mine and capturing their maternity session is something I will never forget.
Taking photos for close friends is an incredibly rewarding experience. It’s about capturing genuine moments and creating lasting memories together. There’s a special sense of closeness and delight when you’re behind the camera, knowing that you’re helping to preserve moments that hold significance for those you care about. It’s not just about snapping pictures; it’s about sharing in their joy and being a part of their story, creating tangible reminders of the bonds that tie you together.
With a slight change of plans, as the tide started to rise, we headed up to the cliffs just in time for golden hour. Capturing maternity photos on the cliffs at Terramar Point in San Diego is a breathtaking experience. The rugged coastline provides a stunning backdrop, with waves crashing against the rocks below and the expansive Pacific Ocean stretching out to the horizon. The golden hour light casts a warm glow over the scene, creating a magical atmosphere for this maternity shoot.
Playing around with double exposure photography during a golden hour maternity photoshoot adds an enchanting and artistic dimension to capturing this special moment. As the golden sunlight bathes the scene in a warm glow, overlapping exposures can blend the expecting mother’s silhouette with the natural surroundings, evoking a deeper sense of emotion in each shot.
Staying for a photo shoot beyond golden hour can lead to capturing truly extraordinary photos. As the sun dips below the horizon during this magical time, the sky transforms into a canvas of soft pastel hues, creating a dreamy atmosphere. As blue hour approached, we explored the cliffs and enjoyed quiet moments together.
Capturing this maternity session at Terramar Point for dear friends during golden hour is something I will always hold close to my heart. Whether it was the happy accident of the tide, the perfectly glowing sunset, or the conversations that we had, this day will forever be one of my favorites.
