Bay Area Elopement Photographer // Gabrielle & Eliot's Maternity Session
Gabrielle & Eliot came to Ventana resort in Big Sur for their baby moon and maternity photographs. Gabrielle booked my adventure session package so we could explore the redwoods and several other locations. Half of my joy of adventure sessions is getting to meet and hang out with my couples and getting to know them in a more laid-back way than a traditional session. Gabrielle and Eliot had such a sweet, nurturing, and calming way about them and their love for each other. The way Eliot would sometimes stand behind me when I was photographing Gabrielle and softly remark about how beautiful she looked melted my heart. Sometimes you meet people and you just know deep down they will be fantastic parents and Gabrielle and Eliot are going to make some of the best. I can’t wait to see pictures of their sweet girl!
If you’re wondering what to do for your engagement photos—you’re not alone.
Most couples come in saying:
“We want something natural… but we have no idea where to start.”
The truth is, the best engagement sessions aren’t built around poses.
They’re built around experiences.
At Flora Gibson Photography, I approach engagement sessions like a quiet story unfolding—something you step into, not perform.
Here are ideas that will help your photos feel like you.
