MATERNITY & NEWBORN

Whether you are expecting your first or your fifth, having a baby and raising a newborn really is the longest shortest time. I want to help you remember it with maternity & newborn photo sessions. While you are expecting, I’ll capture your beautiful shape and the connection you have with your partner and family in the moments leading up to birth. When your baby arrives, we’ll create intimate images of your new routine, your growing bond, and your fresh, little one.

WHAT TO EXPECT: MATERNITY

Lifestyle photography is rooted in capturing connection and details in your everyday life. The maternity session will focus on you and your partner and family engaging with each other, with a special emphasis on portraits of you and your shape. It can be outdoors or indoors. You can dress up or dress casual.

WHAT TO EXPECT: NEWBORN

When baby arrives, this session will highlight the family’s new bond, with emphasis your connection with your newborn, together as a family, each parent individually with baby, and siblings. Most sessions are held in the home. When weather cooperates, I love to step outside!

DETAILS

Maternity sessions are typically held outside, while newborn sessions are held inside using available window light in your home, though we might step outside if the weather allows. I follow safe, baby-led posing to highlight their natural state and gesture. As you will see in my portfolio, I don’t incorporate dramatic posing, wrapping, or props. I feel babies are sweet enough just as they are. I am happy to wear a mask when requested, and won’t be handling your newborn much, if all.

INVESTMENT

You have the option to bundle a maternity + newborn session and receive a discount when you book both sessions, or you may book an individual session for either maternity or newborn. You may book one, then decide later and still receive the discount.

A deposit and signed photo agreement is required to book your dates. Most maternity sessions are scheduled between 30 and 36 weeks. We’ll set a tentative date for your newborn session, and confirm after birth. Whenever possible and necessary, we can reschedule your outdoor session if it storms.
