Alyssa’s outdoor maternity session in Manchester, New Hampshire brought together two looks I love for fall portraits: a cream sweater with jeans and a simple white gown. The amber leaves and tall grass gave both outfits a warm backdrop.


Alyssa’s sweater and jeans kept these portraits relaxed. I photographed the outfit both full length in the grass and close up with her hands resting on her bump. Those smaller details are some of my favorites because they bring you right back to this point in your pregnancy.

The clean lines of Alyssa’s white gown stood out against the dark tree bark and copper leaves. A wider portrait shows the train along the ground, while a closer portrait brings the focus back to Alyssa and the shape of her bump.
