Idaho Maternity Session in the Forest // Family Photography by Hannah Mann
Photographing in a forest setting feels both timeless and intimate. The quiet of the trees, the way sunlight filters through the branches, and the rich tones of the landscape create an atmosphere that beautifully mirrors the anticipation and tenderness of motherhood.
One of the reasons I love photographing sessions in the forest is the way it brings balance: grounded, earthy surroundings paired with the ethereal beauty of motherhood. It’s a place where you can relax, breathe deeply, and simply be present in this fleeting season. The tall trees and layered textures naturally frame you, making the resulting images feel both dramatic and deeply personal. Forests are full of natural beauty—soft light filtering through the branches, the rich tones of evergreens, and the sense of calm that comes with being surrounded by nature.
Wardrobe choices for a forest session are an important part of creating the right mood. Flowing dresses in soft, neutral, or earthy tones blend seamlessly into the environment. The key is movement and comfort—outfits that allow you to walk, twirl, and feel confident.
If you’re envisioning maternity photos that feel peaceful, organic, and timeless, the forest is one of the most beautiful places to celebrate this incredible chapter of your story.
