Boho Maternity Photoshoot in Ft. Myers, Florida
Not every maternity session calls for ocean waves or a passport stamp.
Sometimes, all you need is a boho maternity photoshoot full of golden light, a jungle path, and a mama who knows how to show up fully.
This session with Jackie and Garrett felt effortless in the best way. There was no pressure to perform. Just two people fully present in the moment, soaking in the sun, the silence, and the last stretch of life before baby. It was calm and connected. A pause before parenthood. A reminder that you don’t have to travel far to make something meaningful.
This entire photoshoot came to life thanks to Marissa from Artsy Blue Photography, who not only styled the shoot but also introduced me to Jackie and Garrett. I was lucky to be brought in to document what she so beautifully arranged.
Bringing the Boho Vibe to Downtown Ft. Myers
Ft. Myers might not be the first place that comes to mind when you think of a boho maternity shoot, but it absolutely delivered.
We started downtown, right around golden hour. Jackie wore a warm chocolate-toned knit dress that moved beautifully with her. She walked barefoot through the banyan trees, leaning into each moment like she’d done this a hundred times. The light hit just right. That warm, late-fall glow that makes everything feel softer. Florida might be known for beaches, but downtown Ft. Myers has these hidden little corners that feel like something out of a storybook.
Then came outfit number two, a creamy two-piece set with all the texture and flow I could ask for. Soft. Feminine. Effortless. She twirled in the light and melted into Garrett’s arms like no one else was watching.
That’s the kind of energy I live for. It’s not just about the outfits or the location. It’s about capturing that quiet confidence, that sense of knowing who you are in this exact moment.
A Quiet Moment Before Everything Changes
They’re getting ready to welcome their first baby. And while this was a styled session, nothing about it felt stiff or staged. They laughed, held hands, and soaked in the stillness before their life shifted in a beautiful, big way.
It wasn’t about perfection. It was about presence.
And you can feel that in every frame. Every time Garrett put his hand on her belly, every look between them. It all told the story of what was coming next. It was soft and steady and full of quiet anticipation.
What I Love About Boho Maternity Photoshoots
You don’t need a dramatic landscape to create something that moves you.
Sometimes, the real magic is in the light peeking through the trees.
In the way a dress catches the breeze.
In the way your person looks at you when you’re carrying their baby.
These sessions aren’t about posing, they’re about feeling. And this one felt like peace.
That’s what I always hope my clients walk away with. Not just pretty photos, but a sense of being seen. A reminder of their strength. A snapshot of who they were before everything changed.
