One of the most rewarding parts of being a lifestyle photographer is witnessing the incredible journey of a growing family. I love photographing families bump to baby! I first met this sweet mama during her first maternity session, capturing the anticipation and excitement of welcoming her first baby.   Now I had the privilege of photographing her second pregnancy and their newborn session—what a joy it was to catch up and see how their family has evolved!

Before the newborn photo session, Mom mentioned that big sister wasn’t a fan of having her photo taken. She told me she would be happy if we could get just one picture of her with the new baby. Knowing this, we took a relaxed approach, gently encouraging her without any pressure. With a few tickles, some silly faces, and a lot of patience, we ended up capturing so many sweet moments of big sister with her new sibling—far more than just one photo!

This session was a beautiful reminder that lifestyle photography isn’t about perfection. It’s about connection, love, and capturing the essence of a family’s unique story. The laughter, the cuddles, the quiet moments—these are the memories that will be cherished for years to come.

If you’re expecting and thinking about a maternity or newborn session, just know that you don’t have to have everything perfectly planned. All you need is your love for each other, and I’ll take care of the rest. Let’s document your family from bump to baby!
