If you're dreaming of a maternity session that's full of light, love, and peaceful natural surroundings—this one is for you. Karina and Caleb's maternity shoot at Commons Ford Ranch in Austin, TX was as heartfelt as it was scenic. The soft golden hour, the calm of the open field, and their quiet excitement made it all feel like a page from a storybook.

Karina looked absolutely adorable in a red gingham dress—playful, timeless, and perfectly suited for a golden evening at the ranch. The fitted style added a sweet, vintage touch that popped beautifully against the earthy landscape. Caleb kept it classic in a crisp white shirt and relaxed pants, complementing her look without stealing the spotlight. Together, their easy connection and effortless style made the whole session feel like a quiet, sun-soaked love story.

We wandered around the trails and grassy fields, letting the light lead us. Commons Ford is one of my favorite spots in Austin for maternity sessions—the mix of open space, native plants, and soft light is magic, especially in the hour before sunset.

Karina later changed into a soft black top paired with a flowing white skirt—a look that brought a fresh, elegant feel to the second half of the session. As she stood among the tall grasses with the late sun filtering through, the vibe shifted from playful to deeply peaceful. The outfit change gave us a whole new mood to explore—reflective, romantic, and full of anticipation.

These sessions are about more than just a growing belly—they’re about holding space for the transformation that’s happening, the anticipation, the love that’s growing right alongside the baby.

And soon after this session… Karina and Caleb welcomed their beautiful baby girl! 🌸
