Garden of the Gods Maternity Photographer | Susie’s Rainy-Day Session

Every once in a while, a session reminds me why I love what I do. Susie’s maternity shoot at Garden of the Gods was one of those days — filled with laughter, resilience, and beauty, even when nature surprised us. As her Garden of the Gods maternity photographer, I had the honor of capturing a celebration of life, love, and new beginnings.

When Rain Turns Into Magic

Susie traveled all the way from Kansas with her close friend Vicky to mark this special milestone. The skies had other plans, opening up with a surprise rain shower as soon as we began. Instead of letting it dampen the mood, Susie embraced it — turning what could have been a challenge into one of the most memorable parts of the session.

The rain-soaked red rocks glistened, and the dramatic skies created an ethereal backdrop we could never have planned. Sometimes, the unexpected brings out the most powerful beauty.

Joy, Anticipation, and Connection

What stood out most was Susie’s joy and anticipation for her little one. The way she connected with her unborn child, supported by her friend Vicky, gave every frame emotional depth. Each image told part of a bigger story — one filled with strength, love, and the excitement of new beginnings.
