Sunrise Maternity Beach Session - Panama City Beach, FL

We had a gorgeous sunrise session at the end of December. Talk about chilly!!! You’d never know how cold it was by these pictures though.

I love that more people are venturing out to our gorgeous beaches year-round. Sure, it’s too cold to swim but the beach is still breathtaking during the winter.

This sweet girl braved the cold and snuggled up next to Mom for most of the session. I couldn’t believe how well she did. Sunrise sessions happen early and happen quickly. We’re running against the clock of the sunrise. Once the sun gets high enough in the sky, DFP stops the session to avoid clients squinting. We also don’t want your entire backdrop to be white due to blown out highlights from the harsh sun.

We get asked quite a bit if we prefer sunrise or sunset sessions. Our response is always the same - definitely sunrise. There are less people to worry about, the birds make an appearance in the photos, and the sky is usually breathtaking.

If you are visiting Panama City Beach, FL in 2024, we would love the opportunity to work with your family.

Why You Should Hire Destiney Ford Photography For Your Maternity Session

What sets us a part from the other maternity photographers around the Metro-Atlanta area?

Unlike most of our competitors, we offer a fine-art editing style so our beautiful, expecting mamas look like a storybook princess. We take mediocre locations and make magic happen! Sometimes our mamas have us drive out to their front yard or we end up in the woods in the middle of January, surrounded by ugly bare trees, but you’d never know it.We transform what you see in post production.

Packages include any venue fees! If there’s a venue that you love that charges per hour or session, DFP absorbs the cost so you don’t have to!

Each maternity client has access to our extensive collection of maternity gowns. With a variety of styles, colors, and sizes, we have something for everyone!

DFP guides your every step! You never have to wonder how to stand, where to look, or what to do with your hands. I have crafted a seamless workflow to make your session run as effortlessly as possible every single time!

We also don’t stop at just offering digital images! We have digital collections that offer digitals AND breathtaking keepsakes. You don’t have to worry about crazy colors and weird tones with items from our partnering professional printing lab. If you want to print elsewhere, we understand! Our packages include a lifetime print release to every client for their final images.

Clients get to choose the images you love. DFP offers every client a proofing gallery to choose the images they want to include in their downloadable gallery. Clients aren’t stuck with what WE love. They get to choose what THEY love.

Your spouse + children are welcome to take part in your session, but the focus will be on mama! This is YOUR time to shine.

Does your gown not fit the way you hoped? Sweating? Have blemishes? Don’t stress the details! DFP takes care of all of that in post-production! All you have to do is relax and enjoy the spotlight!

We serve Newnan, Fayetteville, Senoia, Peachtree City, Atlanta, Marietta, Dallas, Lagrange, Whitesburg, Carrollton, Bremen, Hogansville, Grantville, and many more!

DFP recommends scheduling your maternity session for a time when you’re between 28-34 weeks along to avoid excessive levels of discomfort, going into labor early, and it gives us more time to get you on the schedule if we end up getting rained out the first go-round. We also recommend booking months in advance. DFP books up quickly!

Winter Maternity Session by Destiney Ford Photography

My goal as your maternity photographer is to make you feel like a princess.

With our fine art editing style and our extensive maternity gown collection, we make it possible to look back at your maternity session and think “Wow! What a fairytale!”

However, we have no problem with a more casual look too! You can have the best of both worlds with Destiney Ford Photography.

We recommend scheduling your session between 28-34 weeks pregnant. Bodies vary, but there’s usually a nice round bump for moms between that time frame. If you schedule too far into your pregnancy, you’re more uncomfortable during the session. We also risk you going into early labor or not being able to get you rescheduled if we get rained out the first time.

If you would like to schedule your maternity session, please send us a PM on one of our socials or use the contact form on our website.
