The Collins Olukas - A Destination Maternity Session at the Grace Bay Beach in Providenciales, Turks and Caicos

This year has been an amazing year. In addition to the many things we have been blessed with, my wife and I welcomed the arrival of our son, Liam. It is amazing how much joy this baby has brought into our family despite all the numerous changes in our household. Our bank accounts have grown smaller, our cars are now smaller, our home is even smaller, but our hearts, and household is filled with more love and joy - and this is truly all what we need.

Melvis really didn’t want a maternity session, however I have always fantasized about making dope maternity portraits of her. The timing was perfect.

My childhood brother who happens to be a very creative and amazing photographer based in the Washington, DC area came to our home to hangout, and we were about to head out to Melvis’s BBQ. She showed up in this amazing flying blue dress. He looked at me, I looked at him, and we “both immediately grabbed our cameras” and lighting equipment.

The next 4 frames below are just a summary of what we created later that day …

A few months later, we were babymooning at Beaches in Turks, and Caicos. We really enjoyed our time there, and also spent alot of time at the Grace Bay Beach.

Here area few of my favorites from my beautiful wife’s maternity session.

It was a beautiful day to make portraits at the Grace Bay Beach in Turks, and Caicos.

Welcome home Baby Liam. We are so happy to have you here safely.
