Miranda Rae Photography
Maternity Photos
Before Baby Arrives
Soft light, ocean breeze, and that beautiful bump. Relaxed, guided and comfortable.
“Miranda is the best photographer in The Forgotten Coast. She has captured our family so beautifully every time she takes our photos. She has such a quick turn around time, great prices, and truly makes you feel comfortable in your own skin. 10/10 recommend!” — Hayley H., Facebook review
A maternity photographer who makes it easy
Miranda Rae is a maternity beach photographer on Florida's Gulf Coast. Her sessions are relaxed and unhurried: walking along the water, hands on the bump, quiet moments with your partner and sweet ones with big brothers and sisters. You don't need to know how to pose. Miranda guides you the whole way and keeps you comfortable.
Most moms come for sunset or sunrise, when the light is soft and flattering. Whether you live here or you're on a babymoon, you'll get professionally edited photos in a private online gallery, ready for announcements, the nursery wall and baby's first album.

Miranda guides the whole session. Your edited photos arrive in a private online gallery.
Miranda's maternity sessions are $199 with the Beach Special: 45–60 min, 30–35 edited photos, up to 11 people, 1 location · 1 outfit change. There's a $30 travel fee for Destin, 30A and St. George Island.
Most moms book somewhere around 28 to 36 weeks, when the bump really shows but you're still comfortable walking on the sand. If you're traveling to the beach, plan it for whenever your trip falls and you feel good.
Yes, and those are often the sweetest ones. The session covers up to 11 people, so your partner, big brothers and sisters, and even grandparents can join in.
A flowy maxi dress in a soft color like white, cream, blush or light blue looks beautiful by the water and shows off the bump. A fitted dress works great too. The session includes one outfit change if you'd like two looks.
Sunset is the favorite, with soft golden light and warm colors. Sunrise is just as pretty, cooler and quieter, which is nice if you'd rather beat the heat.
Babies keep their own schedule. Just reach out, and Miranda will do her best to find a new date that works for you.
