LGBTQ Maternity Photography at the Biltmore Estate | Asheville Maternity Photographer

Pregnancy is a season unlike any other — the quiet strength, the visible transformation, and the tender anticipation of new life. I recently had the privilege of capturing a same-sex maternity session at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC, and it was nothing short of beautiful.

Car and Jessie are expecting their first baby together, and this session marked the start of Car’s third trimester. We scheduled the shoot for late evening to catch the golden light as the sun dipped behind the Biltmore gardens. The result was a soft, romantic, timeless backdrop — Car absolutely radiating in it all.

As an Asheville maternity photographer, the Biltmore has become one my favorite locations for maternity and family sessions. The variety of landscapes, gardens, and mountain views provides endless options for uniquely Asheville backdrops. This session in particular made great use of a flower patch filled with Black-Eyed Susans overlooking the French Broad River. It was a stunning setting, with golden blooms that echoed the warmth and beauty of the moment.

Though this was a maternity session, I focused, as always, on capturing connection and emotion — two people deeply in love, preparing to welcome a new life. And of course, plenty of portraits of the momma-to-be.

If you’re looking for a maternity photographer in Asheville who celebrates all types of families, I’d be honored to help tell your story. Whether you’re welcoming your first child or your fifth, these moments deserve to be documented with care, creativity, and heart
