When the Shaw family reached out to book a Bump-to-Baby session, I knew their journey would be one to remember. Capturing life’s most cherished milestones is the heart of what I do, and nothing compares to documenting both maternity and newborn moments in a seamless, beautiful way. A Bump-to-Baby session allows families to plan ahead, ensuring they have time to schedule the perfect maternity and newborn experience without last-minute stress.

Why a Bump-to-Baby Session is the Best Choice
Booking a Bump-to-Baby session means more than just securing two separate photoshoots. It’s about creating a cohesive story—one that begins with the joyful anticipation of pregnancy and ends with the sweet arrival of a newborn. Planning in advance ensures that families get their ideal session dates, locations, and styles without the worry of conflicting schedules.
By bundling both sessions, families also experience a smoother, more relaxed process. You won’t have to search for a photographer twice or worry about availability when your baby arrives. Instead, you can focus on what matters most—celebrating this incredible chapter of life.
Capturing the Beauty of Maternity
When I first met Kellyn and Jon for their maternity session, their excitement was undeniable. Every moment reflected their deep love and anticipation for their baby boy. We selected a stunning garden setting, where vibrant blooms and the gentle sounds of flowing water created a peaceful, romantic atmosphere.
Every photograph told a story—from the way they strolled hand-in-hand to the playful moments when their baby kicked in response to their laughter. Their maternity session served as a beautiful prelude to the next chapter, where they would hold their baby in their arms for the first time.

The Joy of Newborn Sessions
Fast forward a few months, and Baby Caleb made his grand entrance—just in time for the holiday season! His parents couldn’t wait to celebrate, and their newborn session reflected all the warmth, love, and excitement that came with welcoming their first child.
We designed a cozy and intimate setup that highlighted the pure tenderness of those early days. Kellyn looked effortlessly beautiful as she cradled her newborn son in soft, neutral-toned knits, while Jon’s pride was unmistakable as he held his tiny baby close.
Every detail of their session told a unique story, from their custom Penn State setup (a nod to their alma mater) to the adorable Eagles-themed arrangement that showcased their love for football. A carefully designed neutral setting also complemented Caleb’s nursery theme, creating timeless images that will hold sentimental value for years to come.
And of course, the highlight of the session—their first family portrait. Seeing their baby peacefully nestled in their arms, surrounded by love, was a moment they would treasure forever.

A Picture-Perfect Holiday Card
One of the most exciting parts of Caleb’s session was designing a special holiday-themed image. This festive yet timeless setup became the perfect way to share their joy with family and friends. Newborn sessions offer endless creative possibilities, allowing families to incorporate seasonal themes, personal traditions, and heartfelt details.

Why Families Love Bump-to-Baby Sessions
One of the greatest joys of being a photographer is witnessing families grow. A Bump-to-Baby session isn’t just about taking photos. It’s about preserving the emotions, anticipation, and love that make this time so special for your family.
For the Shaw family, their maternity session captured the beauty of waiting, while their newborn session documented the joy of their baby boy’s arrival. Together, these images tell a story—a journey from expectant parents to the first days of parenthood.
By booking both sessions at once, families eliminate the stress of finding last-minute availability and enjoy a seamless experience with a photographer who understands their vision. Plus, bundling maternity and newborn sessions often comes with added benefits like priority scheduling and special package pricing.

These fleeting moments pass quickly, but with professional photography, they can be cherished for a lifetime.



Step 1: Booking Your Bump-to-Baby Session
The best time to book your Bump-to-Baby package is as early as possible—ideally in your second trimester. This ensures plenty of time to select the perfect date for your maternity session and secure your ideal timeframe for your newborn shoot. Since newborn sessions take place within the first two weeks after birth, pre-booking guarantees availability during those precious early days.
Booking your Bump-to-Baby package is easy! Simply visit the Maternity Session page, browse through the maternity package options, and choose the one that best fits your vision. During the booking process, just add on the newborn session. From there your discount will automatically be applied—making it an effortless and cost-effective way to capture both milestones.
By bundling both sessions, you not only save money but also enjoy a stress-free experience with everything planned in advance. No need to search for a photographer twice or worry about last-minute scheduling. Your maternity and newborn sessions will already be set, allowing you to focus on the excitement of welcoming your baby.
Step 2: Styling Your Maternity Session with the Client Closet
Your maternity session is a time to celebrate your changing body and the incredible journey to motherhood. Choosing the right outfit makes all the difference in creating stunning, timeless images. That’s why I offer a curated client closet filled with elegant, flattering maternity gowns designed to enhance your natural beauty.
Whether you prefer flowing dresses that capture movement or form-fitting gowns that highlight your beautiful bump, I’ll help you select a dress that makes you feel confident and radiant. The best part? You won’t have to worry about purchasing anything for your new little love. I have options for every style and season!
💡 Tip: To create a cohesive look, coordinate your spouse and children’s outfits with the dress you choose. Soft, neutral tones, pastels, or earth tones photograph beautifully and ensure a timeless aesthetic. If you’re unsure what works best, I’m happy to provide styling advice!

Step 3: Planning the Ideal Newborn Session
Newborn photography requires careful planning to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience. Since these sessions take place within the first 7-14 days after birth, having everything planned in advance helps you relax and enjoy the moment.
One of the most important aspects of a newborn session is coordinating family outfits. Since these images will become treasured keepsakes, selecting soft, neutral colors and simple, comfortable fabrics helps keep the focus on your baby and the love surrounding them. I recommend:
✔ Styling Mom: Flowy dresses or cozy, soft sweaters in light tones
✔ Designing Dad: Neutral-toned tops with subtle textures paired with relaxed pants
✔ Selecting Siblings Style: Simple, solid-colored outfits without distracting patterns – and no words!
The newborn session is all about creating a peaceful, intimate environment where your baby feels safe and comfortable. I provide wraps, blankets, and props that complement your family’s color scheme, ensuring a beautifully cohesive look. If you have special items you’d like included—such as heirloom blankets or meaningful accessories—we’ll incorporate them to add a personal touch.
