There’s something incredibly meaningful about photographing couples as their lives unfold—from the excitement of engagement to the joy of marriage, and now, the sweet anticipation of parenthood. Olivia and Nick are such a beautiful example of this journey. We’ve had the privilege of documenting their love story so far, and being invited back to capture this next chapter felt so special.
For their maternity session, we met them at the stunning Filoli estate, a location that felt like the perfect continuation of their story. When they were married at the San Francisco Botanical Garden, lush greenery and florals surrounded them as they exchanged vows. Returning to another breathtaking garden setting for this session brought everything full circle—this time, as they prepare to welcome their first baby.
Filoli’s elegant architecture, peaceful pathways, and late-summer blooms created such a dreamy atmosphere. Olivia and Nick are waiting to find out their baby’s gender, so this season of their lives is filled with joyful anticipation and a touch of mystery. Watching them together, it’s clear how much their love has deepened since their wedding day—there’s a calm confidence between them, mixed with the giddy excitement of what’s to come.
Without any extra distractions, the session felt intimate and relaxed. Olivia glowed against the garden’s vibrant colors, and Nick’s quiet pride and warmth were unmistakable.
Olivia and Nick, it’s truly an honor to continue documenting your story. From your “I dos” to this beautiful moment, your journey has been nothing short of magical. We can’t wait to meet your little one and see you step into this next chapter together.
Scroll through to see a few of our favorite moments from this elegant garden maternity session at Filoli—timeless, romantic, and full of love.
