A Sunset, a Celebration, and a New Beginning: Prisca & Liam’s Beach Maternity & Newborn Photoshoot

There are certain moments in life that are worth pausing for—worth capturing, treasuring, and revisiting over the years. A maternity & newborn photoshoot can definitely do just that! For Prisca and Liam, celebrating their 10-year anniversary together as well as the anticipation of welcoming their first child felt like one of those moments. So, on the 20th of September 2024, we headed down to the place that held so many memories for them: the beach at Mudeford Sandbanks.

This wasn’t just a maternity shoot—it was a celebration of a decade of love, growth, and shared dreams. Historically, a favourite spot for Prisca and Liam, especially at sunset, has always been Mudeford. It’s where they’ve walked, talked, and simply been together. Also, to make the evening even more personal, they curated a playlist of songs that told the story of their relationship. Music that reflected their journey, their laughter, their challenges, and their deep bond. While their chosen songs played softly through a speaker, we wandered toward Hengistbury Head, the golden light wrapping around them like a warm embrace.

Prisca brought two outfits to capture a range of moments and moods. Each one flowed beautifully with the coastal breeze and glowing in the soft evening light. As we walked past the beach huts and along the shore, they talked excitedly about their baby girl, due in January. Then, they were around halfway through the pregnancy, and you could feel the joy and anticipation radiating from them.

We spent time capturing the raw beauty of this new chapter—holding hands, running through the sand, laughing, embracing the present while dreaming of the future. Consequently, it was intimate, emotional, and filled with genuine connection. As the sun dipped below the horizon while painting the sky in tones of peach and lavender, we soaked in the stillness and magic of that moment together.

The story didn’t end there.

Their Little Girl’s Arrival

In January, I received a message from Prisca and Liam—their baby girl had arrived, and they wanted to document the next chapter. At just 12 days old, I visited them at home for a newborn session. Their nursery was a soft, serene space, full of love. One sweet detail stood out—they had kept their Christmas tree up. Their daughter had become captivated by the colors and twinkling lights, staring up in wide-eyed wonder. It was a simple, beautiful thing, and one they loved sharing with her.

From sunset strolls on the beach to cozy moments in a nursery, Prisca and Liam’s story is a reminder of how powerful and precious these transitions in life can be. It was an honor to be part of their journey. From maternity to newborn; helping them preserve these memories for years to come.
