From Bump to Baby: Why Maternity and Newborn Photos Belong Together
Pregnancy is full of countdowns — to due dates, baby kicks, the last load of laundry before everything changes. It moves fast, even in the quiet moments. And just when you think you’ve figured out how to sit comfortably, your baby is suddenly here, and you’re holding the very same bump in your arms. That’s the magic of booking your maternity and newborn photos together — we get to tell your story from the beginning.
It’s not just about checking two photo sessions off your list. It’s about creating a seamless, supported, low-stress experience that lets you be fully present in two of life’s most fleeting seasons.
Why Book Maternity and Newborn Photos Together?
When you book both sessions at once, something special happens — a thread of connection begins to form, not just between the two sets of images, but between you and me.
We start building trust during your maternity session. You get to experience how laid-back, baby-led, and real my approach is. You’ll see how your session isn’t about posing perfectly or pretending you have it all together. It’s about connection — with your partner, with your growing baby, and with the version of you who is about to become a mom (or a mom again).
By the time I arrive for your newborn session, you will already know what to expect. You’re not wondering if the baby has to “behave.” You’re not scrambling to clean your house or match outfits. You’ve already done this once, and you know I’m there to capture your story as it is — beautifully chaotic, tender, and full of love.
It’s Not Just Easier — It’s More Meaningful
There’s a certain kind of magic in being able to document your journey from bump to baby. I’ve had families tell me how much they love seeing the visual connection between their maternity and newborn photo sessions:
- The hands that held the belly now cradling a newborn
- The partner who whispered to the bump now snuggled in close
- The peaceful nursery you dreamed about now full of baby stretches and sleepy yawns
These sessions together tell a deeper story — one of anticipation and arrival, of hope and transformation. You don’t just get photos; you get a beginning and a becoming.
A Streamlined Experience for Seattle Families
As a Seattle maternity and newborn photographer, I know just how much life you’re juggling during pregnancy and the newborn stage. That’s why I’ve made the experience as simple and supportive as possible.
When you book both sessions:
- You lock in space on my calendar early, so you’re not scrambling last-minute
- You get full access to my client lounge, with outfit inspiration and prep guides for both sessions
- You’ll have one trusted photographer who already knows your story, style, and what matters most to you
- You can reach out anytime with questions, ideas, or even last-minute “what do I wear?!” texts
And yes — there’s a special bundle for booking maternity and newborn photos together.
