This is a maternity session for mom-to-be Paula, photographed by Acromatico at Glen Island Park in New Rochelle, New York. Shot on a 70-degree spring day, the light and airy boho portraits moved through the park's castle, ruins, harbor, docks and trees ahead of the arrival of Paula's baby girl.
Acromatico photographed Paula's maternity session at Glen Island Park, where the team landed the perfect day during New York's unpredictable spring weather. On a 70-degree afternoon, they captured light and airy boho portraits of the mom-to-be, using the park's range of backdrops, from castle to ruins, harbor to docks, and greenery to trees.
For Acromatico, a maternity session isn't just about the belly but the journey, what you're feeling, how empowered you are during the process, and what the body is capable of in hosting a little human. Paula and her partner are expecting a sweet baby girl in just a few days, a new chapter the studio can't wait to celebrate.
“Maternity sessions, to me, aren't just about the belly but the journey: what you're feeling, how empowered you are during this process, the things your body is capable of.”
Good to know
Glen Island Park is a waterfront county park on Long Island Sound in New Rochelle, Westchester County, New York, operated by Westchester County Parks. As our session showed, it offers an unusually varied mix of scenery in a single spot, with stone castle-like architecture, ruins, a harbor and docks, open greenery and mature trees, which is what makes it such a flexible location for portrait sessions.
The park's island setting and Long Island Sound views suit the light, airy aesthetic we used for Paula's boho maternity portraits. For couples searching for a Glen Island Park maternity or portrait photographer, the variety of textures means you can move from architectural to natural backdrops without leaving the grounds, and a clear, mild day like the 70-degree one we had makes the waterfront especially open and bright.
