Why Maternity + Newborn Bundle Just Makes Sense

MATERNITYNEWBORN

Dec 25

There’s something really special about photographing a family before the baby arrives — and then welcoming them back once that tiny human is finally here.

When we start with a maternity session, especially somewhere beautiful like the Ocean coast, it’s more than just photos.

We meet. We talk. You get comfortable in front of my camera. I learn how you move, what feels natural to you, what you love — and what you don’t.

So when you walk into my Portland natural-light studio weeks later with your newborn in your arms, it already feels familiar. You’re not meeting a photographer for the first time. You’re coming back to someone you know.

And I see it every time — moms are calmer, babies feel the energy, and the whole experience just flows.

From bump… to baby (without starting over)

A maternity + newborn bundle isn’t about doing more. It’s about making everything easier.

You don’t have to explain your style again. You don’t have to wonder if you’ll feel awkward. You don’t have to “warm up” to the camera. We’ve already done that together.

By the time your newborn session comes around, you simply arrive, take a breath, and let me take care of the rest — gentle posing, soft light, timeless styling, and a calm, baby-led pace.

This is exactly how I love to work: relaxed, thoughtful, and focused on connection, not perfection.

A relationship, not just a session

One of my favorite parts of offering a bundle is how naturally a connection forms. By the newborn session, it doesn’t feel transactional. It feels personal. I’ve had so many moms tell me: “It felt easier because I already trusted you.”

That trust matters — especially in those early weeks when everything is new, emotional, and a little overwhelming.

My goal is always the same: for you to feel supported, seen, and completely at ease — and to leave with timeless images that feel honest and full of heart.
