Morning, friends! Aren’t mama Jen of Honey Lake Studio and her sweet fam stunning in their deep, earthy hues? Looking back on their family maternity session, these photos Lindsay of The Wonder Road sent over are extra special to them as just over a week before giving birth, they all left home in search of safety from the hurricane approaching Florida last fall.

Jen says, A few weeks after shooting these, our state was faced with a category 5 hurricane, targeted directly at our city. We evacuated the state (pets too!), and drove two days with the rest of the state’s residents. It took so long because the main roads out were full. Hotels were also full, so we rested in a parking lot—full parking lot, of course. Not something anyone wants to encounter 10 days prior to delivering. The storm passed in time, and thankfully, our home was just as we left it with no damage! We got home the night before my scheduled pre-op the very next morning. It is so funny to me how these photos were the perfect representation of what the last month of pregnancy would hold for us.

Breathtaking shots here, yes? Love how after those stressful last days, they can all look back on how strong they were together.

And perfect dress for wading into the waves with baby.

Congrats to this new fam of five!
