Bessy and Justin returned to Acromatico for a maternity session at The Secret Garden in Homestead, Florida, expecting baby number two. The pair chose the garden's rainforest-like setting to fit their Hawaiian Princess theme as they awaited their daughter, Brianna.
This was a maternity session for Bessy and Justin, expecting baby number two. Acromatico has photographed this couple over several years, and for this session they chose The Secret Garden in Homestead — a spot that suited their Hawaiian Princess theme and its cool, rainforest-like vibe. Bessy looked gorgeous, and the day turned out beautifully as the family looked ahead to meeting baby Brianna.

Good to know
The Secret Garden is located in Homestead, a city in far southern Miami-Dade County, Florida, near the agricultural Redland district between Miami and the Florida Keys. The area is known for its lush, tropical plant nurseries and garden venues, which is what gives spots like this their dense, rainforest-like greenery — a natural fit for a maternity session built around a Hawaiian Princess theme.
Homestead sits just inland from Biscayne National Park and a short drive from the eastern entrance to Everglades National Park, making the broader Redland area a popular base for outdoor and garden-style portrait sessions. Its warm, humid South Florida climate keeps gardens green year-round, so the tropical look holds across seasons.
Acromatico is a family-run studio that has photographed families across South Florida since 2004, including returning clients like Bessy and Justin across multiple sessions. The studio also works in New York City and brings a dark, fine-art "Brand Studio" approach to portrait and maternity work.
