This Beach Maternity Portrait session holds a special place in all of our hearts here in Long Beach, NY.

Marissa and Miguel were told they would never give birth to a child due to medical reasons. So when Marissa found out she was pregnant it was nothing short of a miracle for the Rodriguez family. This couple and their family is well known all around Long Beach, NY for their involvement with the kids in our community. They have fostered several children and have adopted their son Dunia.

When Miguel approached me for a maternity session for Marissa I was honored, however we just barely fit it in! She gave birth 3 weeks after our shoot. Because it was so late in her term, I thought Marissa would be tired, so I put together a studio session. Not the case, she was ready for the beach and I understood completely being a Long Beacher myself. So we snuck in a mini studio session and headed for the beach.

I can't decide which I like better, but I guess I don't have to. A great time to book your maternity session is between 27 and 31 weeks. The belly is present and Mom still has lots of energy!
