J + L at the Beach

This motherhood beach session with J + L is quite possibly my favourite session I've ever done. It was our final session from a maternity, newborn and 6-month bundle, as we grew comfortable together and got to explore and document these intimate moments with L.


It was so simple: just the two of them, skin on skin in the water, breastfeeding when it was time, being with one another in the water. My job was just to capture them being close to one another.


J smiling down as she feeds L among the yellow flowers
L lying on a mustard blanket, looking up
L exploring the dune flowers
L with a fist to her mouth, wide-eyed
J feeding L in the dunes, a tree on the left

We started in the dunes and the flowers, with L exploring the sand.


J sitting in the wash with L as a wave comes in
J and L small on the wide wet sand, the waves behind
J lying on the wet sand with L on her chest
J sitting on the sand, holding L close

Then the afternoon settled into golden hour and we waded in. It felt like magic.


From above, J lying on the sand with L curled on her chest
J and L lying together in the shallow water
J lying on the dark sand with L on her chest, smiling at the camera
J sitting in the water with L, smiling out to sea
J sitting in the dark, kissing L's head
J looking up at the sky, holding L in the waves
L wrapped in a towel after the swim, J smiling behind her

And as I was leaving the beach at sunset, a huge turtle swam up onto the sand for a moment, before turning back around into the ocean. I still think about it.


J, thank you for this one. Back to the start: J's maternity session
