Celebrating Joy at the Columbus, GA Botanical Gardens


Late afternoon at the Columbus, GA Botanical Gardens transformed into a scene from a fairy tale as I had the pleasure of capturing the radiant beauty of Ashlee, an expectant mother overflowing with love and anticipation. Cloaked in a full-length dark blue velvet gown, she exuded an undeniable aura of elegance, with her baby bump a testament to the joyous journey she's embarked upon, welcoming her third little boy.


While the late afternoon sun shown brightly over the gardens creating a beautiful glow and illuminating Ashlee's smile, which radiated brighter than ever before. The excitement in her eyes was palpable, a blend of cherished memories and the promise of new beginnings. This maternity session was a celebration of motherhood, a testament to the incredible strength and beauty that blossoms with each new life.



Ashlee's dark blue gown was the perfect choice, gracefully embracing her baby bump and accentuating her pregnancy glow. With every step she took, the gown swirled around her like a cascade of midnight waves, creating an enchanting dance between mother and child.

Adding to the charm of this magical day was the backdrop of the Columbus Botanical Gardens itself. The historic white farmhouse, standing proud in the distance, served as a timeless reminder of days gone by and days yet to come. It offered a striking contrast to the vivid greenery and bright flowers surrounding Ashlee, making every frame a work of art.


The lush summer greenery provided a vibrant canvas for our photoshoot, and as we looked around, we couldn't help but notice the first subtle hints of autumn approaching. A few leaves began to don their fall colors, as if nature itself was joining in the celebration, mirroring the transition in Ashlee's life.


Surrounded by the tranquility of the gardens, Ashlee was joined by her loving husband and two adorable sons, creating a scene of pure joy. We laughed, we played, and we captured beautiful family moments that will undoubtedly become treasured memories.


As we neared the end of our session, the sun still shining bright, Ashlee's smile remained as radiant as ever. This maternity session was more than just a photoshoot; it was a heartfelt celebration of life, love, and the extraordinary journey of motherhood.


And the excitement doesn't end here! I'm eagerly looking forward to Ashlee's newborn session in November, where we'll capture the next chapter of this beautiful family's story as they welcome their newest little member into the world.
