Maternity & Baby Sessions

The first chapter, documented naturally.

Maternity, newborn, and first-year sessions are designed to preserve this season in a way that feels relaxed, honest, and personal.

The focus is on connection, tiny details, family relationships, and the real feeling of this moment — whether we’re documenting the anticipation before baby arrives, the first quiet days at home, or a meaningful milestone during the first year.

A Note About Newborn Sessions

Relaxed, natural, and documentary-inspired.

These are not highly posed studio newborn sessions. The focus is less on props, baskets, wraps, and perfect sleeping poses — and more on connection, home, family, tiny details, and the real feeling of life with your baby.

There will still be gentle direction throughout the session, but the goal is for the images to feel natural, personal, and true to your family.

What’s Included

A simple process, built around real life.

Every maternity, newborn, and baby session includes high-resolution digital delivery, color and black and white versions, a private online gallery, and personal printing rights. Story galleries include the strongest final images from the session, fully edited and delivered in both color and black and white.

Maternity Timing

Typically best around 28–34 weeks, depending on comfort, season, and how you’re feeling.

Fresh 48 Timing

Scheduled tentatively around your due date, then confirmed once baby arrives and access is clear.

Newborn Timing

Usually best during the first 1–3 weeks, with flexibility since these sessions are natural and at-home.

Milestone Timing

Can be used before baby turns one, including 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, or first birthday.

Additional note: Immediate family includes parents and siblings. Professional prints, albums, wall art, and other photo products are available à la carte through your online gallery. RAW/unedited files are not included.

Ready to document this season?

Optional Add-On

Add a short story film.

For Newborn At-Home and Fresh 48 sessions, a short vertical film can preserve the movement, details, and feeling of the session in a way photos alone can’t fully capture.

Story films are edited with music and delivered as a vertical digital file, optimized for social sharing and personal keepsake use.

Story Film Add-On — $350
Available with Newborn At-Home, Fresh 48, and collections that include either session.
