A Plum Island Maternity Shoot & At-Home Newborn Session

We’ve been working with The M’s for years now, and were so excited to hear about their good news not too long after their fall Zorvino Vineyards wedding.

We loved the seaside inspiration our mama-to-be provided us with, and couldn’t wait to get to one of our favorite beaches to capture their special memories for them…
