Why Maternity + Newborn Bundle Just Makes Sense
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.
What's Included in the Bump to Baby Bundle
My most loved collection, the Bump to Baby Bundle, covers the complete story — from the quiet anticipation of pregnancy to the first tender days with your newborn.
It includes:
a maternity session
a newborn session
sessions at sunset or in my studio
full gallery for both sessions (minimum 50 images)
full access to the client wardrobe
Booking both sessions together also comes with bundle savings compared to booking them separately. One booking, one photographer who already knows you, and both chapters of the story told in the same timeless style. You can see current pricing here.
Is the Maternity + Newborn Bundle Right for You?
This bundle is perfect if you:
value simplicity and want a stress-free experience
love soft, natural, timeless imagery
want your photos to feel connected, not like separate projects
appreciate having everything guided for you — from styling to timing
If that sounds like you, this might be the easiest "yes" of your pregnancy.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the maternity + newborn bundle cost?
Current bundle pricing is listed on my pricing page— booking both sessions together saves compared to booking them separately, and the page always shows up-to-date rates.
When should I book the bundle?
The best time to book is during your pregnancy — ideally in the second trimester. That way we can plan your maternity session and reserve time around your due date for the newborn session.
Can I choose outdoor maternity and studio newborn — or the other way around?
Yes. The bundle includes sessions at sunset or in my studio, so we can mix and match: golden light on the coast or in a Portland park for maternity, and the calm of the studio for your newborn — or any combination you love.
What if my baby arrives early or late?
That's completely normal, and we plan for it. Your newborn session is scheduled around your due date, and we simply adjust once your baby is here.
