Welcoming a new little one into your life is a season of so much anticipation and joy! And if you ask me, the best way to do it full justice is with both a maternity and newborn session.

A maternity and newborn session allows you to tell the complete story of your little one’s birth: not just their arrival, but the hopes, dreams, and love that have been with them since before they were born.

If you’ve already seen my sample galleries of studio and outdoor maternity sessions, plus studio and at-home newborn sessions, you already have a good idea of what kinds of images you can expect. Just as with those sessions, we’ll get maternity portraits, family images, newborn closeups, and intimate photographs of you and your family showering the newest member with love and kisses.

To give you an even better idea of just how beautiful a maternity and newborn session can be though, here is a peek into a pretty gallery of images from a mom-only studio maternity session followed by a beautiful at-home newborn session with the whole family.

Things to Consider for Your Maternity and Newborn Session

The SRJP First Year Baby Plan means that you can capture every precious detail of your little one’s earliest days, from your pregnancy to their first big milestones. Maternity session options include studio, at home, and outdoor. Newborn sessions can be done in our boutique studio or in the comfort of your own home.

Most expecting moms reserve their maternity and newborn session dates and times together. We will pencil in your newborn photography session about two weeks from your expected due date. We can always move the date back or forward if we need to.

Every convenience and luxury is available to you no matter which option you choose—from makeup and hair styling to gorgeous maternity gowns. And after each of your sessions, we’ll get together for your viewing appointment, where you can see your collection of images and choose your favorites to include in your first year album or wall art grouping.

There is truly nothing better than being able to see these sweet memories in print and to know that you can pass these treasures down to your little ones…and their little ones. I feel truly honored to be able to capture this incredibly special time in your life.

Feel free to explore my maternity and newborn pages for more information. And of course, you are always welcome to contact me with any questions you may have. I am so very happy for you and can’t wait for your session!

Lots of Love,

Shannon
