From Engaged to Married and Expecting!

Journal and Imagery by St Pete Beach Photographers Popping Champaign Photography


On June 8th, 2024, under the warm embrace of the Florida sun, we had the privilege of capturing a truly special maternity session for Savanna and Daniel at Fort De Soto in Saint Petersburg. This picturesque beachside location holds a significant place in their hearts as it was also the backdrop for their engagement session in April 2022. Two years later, the same stunning scenery witnessed the evolution of their love story as they eagerly await the arrival of their first baby, Benny, who is due at the end of July.

As the gentle waves lapped against the shore and the sun painted the sky with hues of orange and pink, Savanna and Daniel's joy and anticipation were palpable. The love between them, which we first documented during their engagement, has only grown deeper and more profound. Their connection is a testament to the journey they have shared and the new chapter they are about to embark on.


The session was filled with moments of laughter, tenderness, and joy. Savanna was radiant in a flowing, ethereal gown, cradling her baby bump with a tender smile, while Daniel stood by her side, his eyes filled with love and excitement. Daniel's playful nature brought out giggles from Savanna as they strolled along the shoreline, hand in hand. The anticipation of Benny's arrival added a special glow to their faces, and their happiness was infectious.


Revisiting Fort De Soto, the same place where their engagement journey began, added a nostalgic touch to the session. It was as if the beach itself had witnessed their story unfold, from the promise of forever made two years ago to the impending arrival of a new life. The continuity of this location in their life's milestones made the day even more meaningful.

As the sun began to set, casting a golden glow over the water, we captured some final moments of the session. Savanna and Daniel's love story had come full circle, and we felt honored to document this beautiful transition from a couple in love to parents eagerly awaiting their little bundle of joy.

Savanna and Daniel, your journey has been a beautiful one, and we can't wait to see what the future holds for you and baby Benny. Here's to many more moments of love, laughter, and cherished memories by the beach. Congratulations on this wonderful new chapter in your lives!
