As the vibrant colors of spring begin to bloom, there’s no better way to capture the joy and anticipation of welcoming a new life than with a stunning spring maternity session. For the Giddens family, this beautiful season was the perfect backdrop to celebrate the upcoming arrival of their baby girl, Scarlett, due next month.

Nestled in the heart of Birmingham, the Botanical Gardens provided an idyllic setting for this special session. With the delicate cherry blossoms just starting to bud and the fresh blooms of tulips, daffodils, and other vibrant flowers painting the landscape, the gardens truly came to life in time for this magical moment.

Cherry Blossoms in Full Bloom: A Symbol of New Beginnings…

One of the highlights of the day was the cherry blossoms in full bloom. There’s something so symbolic about these delicate pink petals—like a promise of new beginnings and the beauty that comes with change. Watching the Katelyn & CD surrounded by the soft, gentle blossoms, I couldn’t help but think how fitting it was for them. They’re on the brink of a beautiful new chapter in their lives, and the blossoms seemed to echo that same sense of growth and joy.

It was so special to see the Giddens family soaking in these moments together—laughing, smiling, and full of love as they prepare to become a family of three with the arrival of sweet baby Scarlett next month. It’s clear this family is filled with so much excitement and anticipation, and capturing this beautiful time in their lives was such a privilege.

From the moment I started shooting, it was evident that the Katelyn & CD share a deep, loving connection. There’s something about being in the presence of people who are genuinely excited about the new life they’re about to bring into the world—it’s contagious! We spent the day strolling through the gardens, and their joy filled every frame.

Katelyn’s outfit choices and style could not have been more perfect! —soft pastels and light colors—that blended so beautifully with the garden’s blooms. There’s a timeless, serene quality to these photos that truly reflects the calm excitement and love they have for each other and their growing family.

Beyond the cherry blossoms, the botanical gardens were bursting with other fresh blooms—tulips, daffodils, and so many more flowers, all coming to life as spring settled in. The bright pops of color from the tulips added an extra layer of joy and energy to the session, making the photos feel vibrant and full of life, much like the Giddens family itself. Every corner of the garden felt like a celebration of this beautiful time in their lives.

They mark the final moments before their family grows and change sweeps in with the arrival of baby Scarlett.
