When my college best friend Danielle asked me to capture her maternity portraits during our annual trip, I knew they had to be special. With only my 35mm film camera in hand, we embraced the beauty of imperfection- soft light, organic movement, and the rich nostalgia that only film can preserve. These portraits aren’t just images; they’re a tangible memory of this fleeting season, captured in a way that feels as timeless as motherhood itself.

As you’ll see in this gallery of Tori’s and Brennan’s glowing maternity session at Bde Mka Ska, Minnesota offers so much more than meets the eye, including beachy lakeside settings and nautical vibes.
