A Laid-Back Maternity Photoshoot with April & Jared | Central Florida’s Freshwater Springs

April and Jared’s maternity session was simply a dream. At 38 weeks, April was absolutely glowing, and her easygoing nature made the morning feel warm and effortless. We met at one of Central Florida’s beautiful freshwater springs, known for their crystal-clear water and peaceful vibes. Located about an hour from my home base in New Smyrna Beach, these springs offer an incredible backdrop for an adventurous, storytelling session that’s truly one of a kind.

We captured so many beautiful moments, both above and below the water. April and Jared’s connection came through in every frame, sharing smiles and gentle, quiet moments as they soaked in this special time together. Some of my favorite shots were with Jared relaxing in the springs while April sat poolside, both of them totally at ease—as if they were simply enjoying a calm day by the water.

Artistic Moments in Central Florida’s Springs

The springs in Central Florida create a perfect setting for an outdoor maternity session, and the water brings an extra layer of beauty that’s unique to the area. As an underwater maternity photographer based in New Smyrna Beach, I love using these natural settings to add an artistic touch to my photos, especially when the sun filters through the trees and dances on the water. During April and Jared’s session, the light created a soft, bokeh effect at the waterline in my split shots—those half-above, half-below images that are designed with artistry in mind, capturing the feel of both the atmosphere and the serene underwater world.

When we moved fully underwater, the springs’ crystal-clear visibility brought a special magic to each shot. The water can be chilly, but the natural beauty and calmness of the springs make it worth it, creating images that feel peaceful and timeless.
