Soft Autumn Maternity + Family Portraits

Autumn in La Crosse is always magical. This year, Abigail, Owen, and little Lainey brought an extra glow to this year’s session. Their La Crosse Maternity & Family Portraits were ones to remember. We started outdoors among the crisp fall leaves, capturing golden-hour family moments that will be cherished for years to come. Abigail’s cream-colored gown from Utah Gowns and Owen’s coordinating white shirt with cream pants created a timeless look. Lainey’s matching cream dress added the sweetest touch. Their outfits weren’t by chance. They were chosen based on my Family Style Guide and custom recommendations to ensure each photo felt elegant, cohesive, and effortless.

This wasn’t my first time photographing the Peters family. Last year, I had the joy of capturing Lainey at just one year old in a beautiful outdoor session. You can see that session here. Seeing their family grow and documenting this next chapter of motherhood was such a special experience.

Solo Maternity Portraits at the Haley Hundt Studio

After enjoying the autumn scenery outdoors, we moved indoors to the Haley Hundt Studio in downtown La Crosse. Here, we focused on Abigail’s solo maternity portraits. The soft studio light highlighted her radiant glow. The softness of her gown created serene, fine art-inspired images that will become family heirlooms. Makeup by Menah complemented the natural tones of her gown and the studio setting, enhancing the ethereal, light-filled quality of the portraits.

Whether you love outdoor sessions surrounded by seasonal colors or intimate indoor studio portraits, La Crosse offers the perfect backdrop for maternity and family photography. I guide each family through outfit selections and session planning so every photo feels intentional, timeless, and uniquely yours.

Capturing the Peters family this fall reminded me why I love photographing families at every stage of life. Each session is a celebration of love, growth, and connection.
