Choosing the right maternity photographer isn’t just about who takes pretty pictures…it’s about who sees you, supports you, and helps you feel confident in a season that’s anything but easy.
In this post, I’m sharing 6 questions to ask before you book so you can find someone who captures more than just a baby bump… but the beauty of this moment in your story.
There’s something incredibly special about watching a story unfold in front of my lens from the gentle anticipation of pregnancy to the quiet awe of new life.
While I photograph many beautiful standalone maternity or newborn sessions, some of my favorite galleries…the ones that feel the most complete…are when families choose to document both.
Booking both sessions together is one of the best decisions my clients make. Here’s why.
Pregnancy is just the beginning of your journey into motherhood (or into a new chapter of it). When you choose to document both your maternity and newborn seasons, you’re preserving not just what it looked like, but what it felt like. The wonder, the waiting, the love growing before your eyes.
Seeing those images side-by-side? It’s powerful. A full circle moment.
When you book both sessions at once, I already know your style, your preferences, and your heart. It allows us to build trust early on so that when baby arrives, you feel confident, relaxed, and fully supported.
You don’t have to start over or explain what matters to you…I already know. You’re not scrambling at the last minute. Everything is already in place.
There’s a visual magic that happens when your maternity and newborn photos are captured with the same artistic eye. The colors, the composition, the emotion. It all flows together beautifully.
Whether you're planning to create an album, hang framed prints, or simply treasure your images, having that cohesive look makes your memories feel even more elevated and intentional.
I’ve never had a mom say, “I wish I hadn’t done both sessions.” But I have heard more than a few say, “I wish I’d captured my pregnancy too.”
This season is so special. It’s fleeting. And it deserves to be remembered, not just the day your baby arrived, but the days your heart stretched to make room for them.
If you’re expecting, now’s a great time to reach out. I’d love to chat about capturing both your maternity and newborn sessions so nothing gets missed in this beautiful season. Let’s make something meaningful together from bump to baby, and every tender moment in between.
