Ventana Maternity Photoshoot | Alex & Katie

Alex and Katie’s Ventana maternity photoshoot was full of natural light and pure excitement for their baby girl who’s on the way! Katie is thirty weeks along in her pregnancy, which I find is such a good time for a maternity session because you get to spotlight your baby bump. We photographed all along the green grassy areas and forests in Ventana, Big Sur– one of my favorite venues in the area for any and every special occasion! I’ve shot maternity sessions, surprise proposals, engagements, weddings, and more here. Read on for this sweet Ventana maternity photoshoot!

Ventana Photography

Alex and Katie did an outfit change during their session. This something I always recommend my couples to try at least once. A simple outfit change can really give your photos a refreshed look to them! A black dress with a denim jacket for Katie. And a blue button up and jeans for Alex. These are both really solid options that will never lead you wrong! I also really liked Katie’s second dress that had this pretty ribbed texture and a leopard floral pattern. More loose and flowing dresses are my favorites for maternity sessions! Alex and Katie did a lot of barefoot adventuring too. One less part of your outfit that you have to think about, am I right?

For those of you who don’t already know, Ventana is a luxury hotel in Big Sur overlooking the Pacific. It definitely feels like an enclave tucked among the forests with all these epic landscapes and textures. If you’re looking for a venue that makes it seem like you’re in your own little world, this is the one! Alex and Katie’s Ventana maternity photoshoot reminded me why it’s among my top pick of places in Big Sur to photograph just about anything!
