Maternity Photography by Ashley Newman
Choosing the right location for your maternity photos is just as important as choosing the right outfit. The backdrop you select can enhance the beauty of your session and reflect your personal style. The Woodlands offers a variety of stunning spots, from tranquil natural landscapes to elegant gardens and open fields. Here are a few location ideas to consider for your maternity session in this beautiful area.
1. The Woodlands Waterway
For a blend of urban and nature, the Waterway offers stunning waterfront views, modern architecture, and scenic bridges. This location provides a variety of backdrops, from lush greenery along the water to the sleek lines of nearby buildings. The Waterway also features a quiet, peaceful vibe perfect for intimate maternity photos.
2. Northshore Park
Located on the shores of Lake Woodlands, Northshore Park is a popular choice for families and photographers alike. The park offers sweeping views of the lake, shaded areas with large trees, and a spacious boardwalk that makes for a picturesque setting. This location is especially lovely during the golden hour, with the soft light reflecting on the water for beautiful, serene photos.
3. Carl Barton Jr. Park
Carl Barton Jr. Park is a beautiful and often overlooked spot in The Woodlands, with a variety of natural backdrops. It features lush green fields, tall trees, and peaceful walking paths, providing a tranquil and private setting for maternity photos. The park’s scenic lake adds a peaceful touch, perfect for intimate moments captured on camera.
4. Creekside Park
If you love the idea of adding a touch of adventure to your session, Creekside Park is a fantastic choice. This location features wooded areas, trails, and open fields that provide a variety of stunning backdrops. The creek itself adds a dynamic element, offering the opportunity for photos with flowing water or in areas shaded by trees.
Private Locations for a Truly Personal Experience
While these are all wonderful spots, I prefer to work with private locations in and around The Woodlands. These spaces ensure that you can fully relax and be yourselves, without the distractions or crowds that often come with public areas. With a private location, you’re free to move around, try different poses, and enjoy the session at your own pace. We can explore beautiful backdrops while I capture the moments that truly reflect you as a couple or family.
