There’s just something so special about golden hour—it creates the dreamiest light and the most romantic vibe, which makes it perfect for maternity photos. Courtney and Rick’s session at Snyder’s Flats in Waterloo, Ontario, was no exception! Between the glowing sun reflecting off the water and the surrounding fields, it was the perfect place to celebrate their growing family and their excitement for the arrival of their baby boy.

We started the session with Courtney in a crop top and jeans, showing off her beautiful baby bump. This casual and timeless look felt so natural and made the photos feel extra personal. The golden-hour light gave everything such a warm, soft vibe, bringing out all the sweet, heartfelt emotions of the moment.

Later, Courtney changed into a form-fitting, long-sleeve green dress that beautifully highlighted her bump. The dress was such an elegant choice and worked perfectly with the earthy tones of the fields and water at Snyder’s Flats, tying everything together so seamlessly.

Snyder’s Flats is such a hidden gem in Waterloo for sessions like this. The mix of water views and golden fields really makes it an amazing location for capturing natural, heartfelt moments. We started by the water, where the sunlight sparkled on the surface, creating a stunning, dreamy backdrop. Courtney and Rick were so excited about meeting their baby boy, and their love for each other shone through in every photo.

As the sun started to set, we moved to the fields. The tall grasses glowed in the evening light, creating the most magical setting for the second half of their session. Rick was so sweet and supportive, and Courtney’s joy was absolutely radiant—every shot felt like a celebration of their journey into parenthood.

Snyder’s Flats has it all: serene water views, glowing fields, and the kind of natural beauty that makes every moment shine.
