From Bump to Baby: Why Booking a Maternity & Newborn Package is Worth It

Pregnancy is a journey filled with anticipation, excitement, and a little bit of the unknown. Then, in what feels like the blink of an eye, your baby arrives, and life changes forever. Capturing both your maternity glow and those first newborn moments ensures that you have a complete story to cherish for a lifetime and one day can show your baby these special photos of your family's story.

Many parents focus on newborn photography but overlook maternity sessions. However, combining the two into one seamless package provides a beautifully connected experience that documents your journey from pregnancy to parenthood.

Why Book a Maternity & Newborn Package?

1. It’s One Less Thing to Plan Later

The newborn stage passes by so fast! Those first two weeks, when babies are at their sleepiest and curliest, are the best time for newborn photography. However, between birth recovery, adjusting to life with a newborn, and sleepless nights, booking a photography session can easily slip through the cracks.

By booking your maternity and newborn sessions together, you secure your newborn session date in advance—so when your little one arrives, you don’t have to worry about finding a photographer last minute. It’s already taken care of!

2. A Beautiful & Cohesive Story

Your pregnancy and newborn photos are two halves of the same story—the journey of bringing your baby into the world. Having both captured by the same photographer ensures a consistent, seamless style that flows beautifully together, whether you’re creating an album, displaying them on your walls, or sharing them with loved ones.

3. Special Package Pricing

Many photographers (including me!) offer special savings when you book both sessions together. This means you get more value while ensuring both milestones are captured professionally.

4. A More Relaxed & Comfortable Experience

When you book both sessions with the same photographer, you already know what to expect. You’ll feel more comfortable and confident during your newborn session because you’ve already worked with your photographer before. This makes the entire process smoother and more enjoyable.

Plus, for mums who may feel self-conscious about maternity photos, working with a photographer they trust makes all the difference. I always ensure my maternity sessions are relaxed and flattering, helping you feel beautiful and confident.

What to Expect in a Bump-to-Baby Package

Maternity Session (30-34 Weeks Pregnant)

• A relaxed, outdoor session capturing the love and anticipation of pregnancy.

• You’ll have a selection of stunning maternity dresses to choose from, or you can wear your own outfit (or a bit of both!).

• Your partner and older children (if you have them) are always welcome to join!

Newborn Session (Within the First 2 Weeks After Birth)

• A cozy, stress-free session in my studio, where I gently pose and capture all the precious details of your baby.

• No need to bring an outfit for baby—I provide beautiful, soft wraps and props for a timeless look.

• Parents and siblings can also be included in the session, creating gorgeous first family portraits.

The Photos You’ll Treasure Forever

When you look back years from now, you’ll be grateful to have a complete story of your baby’s journey—from the glowing anticipation of pregnancy to the first few sleepy days of newborn life.

Booking a maternity & newborn package is more than just getting photos—it’s about creating lasting memories and celebrating the incredible journey of becoming a parent.

🎯 Final Thought: Your baby will only be a newborn for a few short weeks. Booking a package ensures you don’t miss the opportunity to capture this beautiful transformation
