From Bump to Baby: A Joyful Maternity and Newborn Session at Home

Maternity Photo Sessions

I first met this sweet family during their maternity session. It was such a joy to be invited back to capture toddler and newborn photos with a cozy in-home newborn session. I am so thankful to be able to document both ends of this journey—maternity and newborn photography that tells the full story of anticipation, arrival, and the gentle unfolding of new life.

Their maternity session was filled with so much love, laughter, and energy—thanks to a very excited soon-to-be big brother! His infectious giggles kept us all smiling, and we even stumbled upon a small patch of early spring flowers. This was a perfect sign that warmer days were just around the corner. 🌿🌷

When I returned a few weeks later for their lifestyle newborn session, everything had shifted in the most beautiful way. Their home felt like a peaceful haven, and baby was already settling into the rhythm of family life.

This session was especially focused on toddler and newborn photos. Sibling photos are always a sweet (and sometimes unpredictable!) part of this season. Becoming a big sibling is a huge transition, and we honored that by keeping things relaxed and child-led. Big brother joined in for snuggles when he was ready and took breaks to play when he needed space—exactly as it should be.

The result? A beautiful blend of candid, heartfelt images—newborn photos with siblings that reflect the real dynamics of early family life. We captured soft glances, tiny stretches, playful toddler moments, and all the love that wrapped around this growing family.

Whether it’s your first baby or you’re documenting the magic of welcoming another, maternity and newborn photography is such a meaningful way to preserve these fleeting moments. These early days are tender and raw, filled with equal parts chaos and love—and they’re absolutely worth remembering.
