From bump to baby: documenting your journey with a professional photographer
Pregnancy is a magical and transformative time, filled with anticipation and excitement as you prepare to welcome your little one. Every kick, every milestone, and every fleeting moment deserve to be cherished and remembered. Professional photography offers a unique opportunity to capture this incredible journey, from the first signs of pregnancy to the tender moments of holding your newborn in your arms.
Why documenting your pregnancy journey matters? Celebrating the bump!
Pregnancy is a short yet life-changing phase. Whether it's your first or fourth baby, each experience is unique and filled with emotions that deserve to be preserved. Professional maternity photography allows you to celebrate your changing body and the life growing within you. These sessions serve as a beautiful reminder of the strength, beauty, and love that accompany pregnancy. Your pictures will highlight the bond between you and your little one, a bond that grows and never ends!♥
Maternity sessions typically take place between 28 and 36 weeks when your baby bump is beautifully rounded, and you still feel comfortable enough to pose (but of course, I am flexible and we could do a session before or after those week, the most important thing is your feeling!). A professional photographer will work with you to create stunning portraits that reflect your personality and style, whether you prefer an elegant indoor session or a natural outdoor session.
Why these sessions are important to me?
I want to give you the opportunity to remember every step of this beautiful journey by:
Capturing the emotional connection between you and your baby.
Creating lasting memories to share with your child in the future.
Celebrating the beauty and strength of motherhood.
Including your partner and family members to create a complete story.
The newborn session: capturing the first moments
Once your little one arrives, the newborn stage passes by in a blur. At this time you have two choices: book a newborn posing session within the first two weeks of birth to ensure some poses wrapping in a baskets or some poses on a blankets, or, book a “Newborn lifestyle session” where we could capture more natural pictures with the baby in parent’s arm! Whatever the kind of session you will schedule, I have the experience to handle newborns safely and patiently, ensuring every tiny feature is beautifully documented.
I ensure during a session:
A warm and cozy environment to keep your baby comfortable.
A gentle posing techniques that prioritize safety and comfort.
A mix of candid and styled shots to capture their natural beauty.
The inclusion of meaningful props or personal items.
Combining maternity and newborn photography session for a complete story
By capturing both your pregnancy and your newborn’s early days, you create a beautiful, cohesive story of your journey into parenthood.
If you want to document your journey I recommend you to book your 2 sessions early (even if you don’t know of course your exact due date!).
You can think about the style of pictures that you want (lifestyle, outside, at home, reportage, posing) and what outfits would you like to wear (it is nice to choose outfits that complement each session, keeping colors and themes consistent, but of course you can decide what you want!).
I offer special "Bump to Baby" package, providing a seamless transition from maternity to newborn sessions. You can send me a message through my contact to book your sessions!
To sum up:
Documenting your journey from bump to baby through professional photography is an investment in preserving your most cherished memories. From the glow of pregnancy to the tiny details of your newborn, these images will become treasured keepsakes that you and your family will look back on for generations to come.
If you’re expecting and considering maternity and newborn photography, now is the perfect time to start planning. Embrace this beautiful journey and let a professional photographer capture it in all its glory.
