Eden Gardens Photographer | Zoi + Matt + Thor’s Maternity Session

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing this beautiful couple, Zoi and Matt, for over 10 years — and I love them so much! As an Eden Gardens photographer, getting to capture this season of their lives felt extra special. I am beyond ecstatic that they are welcoming their first child into the world and that I get to photograph their little angel.

Eden Gardens: A Stunning Backdrop for Maternity Portraits

On this amazing day, Zoi and Matt decided on the beautiful Eden Gardens for their maternity session location, and it turned out absolutely beautiful. The towering live oaks, the soft pine-forest light, and the gravel pathways gave us so much variety in a single shoot.

A Garden-Perfect Color Palette

Zoi looked stunning in a flowing green dress that complemented the surrounding garden scenery, while Matt was handsomely dapper in a beach blue button-down. Their coordinated palette photographed dreamily against the dappled greens and warm late-day light at Eden Gardens.

Including Their Sweet Fur Baby, Thor

If you know Zoi and Matt, you’ve met their loyal and playful fur baby — Thor! I was so happy when they said they wanted to include him in the photos. We got an amazing shot of Thor gazing at them kissing in the background that I absolutely love. Including pups in maternity sessions always adds the sweetest, most authentic family feel.
