Hesseltine Family | Maternity Session in Washington, Iowa
Some sessions carry a little extra meaning, and this one was definitely one of them.
I had the absolute honor of photographing this beautiful mama (and her sweet little family!) in Washington, Iowa as they prepare to welcome a miracle baby boy — a rainbow baby, brought into this world after a journey of hope, strength, and IVF.
From the moment we started, there was such a calm joy in the air. You could feel the love between these two parents — the quiet, steady kind that has walked through hard days and still shows up with full hearts. And then there’s big brother Cooper, their pup, who definitely understood that something exciting is coming. He proudly posed for photos and may or may not be very interested in the baby’s stuffed animals already.
This session felt like a celebration — not just of the baby to come, but of the road that led here. Every smile, every belly laugh, every soft moment wrapped in sunlight — it was all just a reflection of how deeply loved this little boy already is.
To this sweet family: thank you for trusting me to capture such a meaningful time in your story. I can’t wait to see you holding that sweet baby boy soon — and to see Cooper stepping into his new role like a pro!
