The beach was top on their list of wishes for a location for maternity pictures. He’s from the UK and she is from Brazil. They’re in Michigan for now for their jobs. They’re headquartered in St. Joseph, MI, so they wanted to take advantage of the beautiful beaches there with their iconic sand dunes and lighthouses for their maternity pictures. These pictures will always remind them not only of expecting their baby girl, but their time in the US near the shores of Lake Michigan.

The beach at Tiscornia Park was perfect for a couples’ maternity photo session. Beach pictures offer a variety of backgrounds, from the grassy dunes to sand, sea and sunsets. As you can see, we were lucky enough to get a beautiful sunset that evening.

The best time for beach pregnancy pictures is early morning or just before sunset in the evening. The sun can be a bit glary at other times, but sunrise and sunset give you such pretty soft and warm light. I love everything about the evening light from the glowing backlight to the stunning sunset!

I can’t think of a more perfect backdrop for this stunning couples’ maternity pictures. And I can’t wait to meet their baby girl!
