Pregnancy and the newborn stage are two of the most meaningful and emotional seasons in a family’s journey. Each chapter is filled with anticipation, love, and moments that pass far too quickly. Maternity and newborn packages are the perfect way to document your story from bump to baby and ensure no part of this beautiful transition is missed.
Instead of choosing between maternity or newborn photos, these packages allow you to enjoy a complete, seamless experience that celebrates the beginning of your baby’s life in a heartfelt and intentional way.
What Are Maternity and Newborn Packages
Maternity and newborn packages combine both sessions into one collection, giving you the chance to capture your pregnancy glow and your baby’s earliest days in a cohesive, meaningful way. These sessions are typically scheduled weeks apart, but together they tell the full story of how your family grew.
With one photographer guiding you through both sessions, you receive a consistent style, a comfortable experience, and images that naturally complement one another.
Why Maternity and Newborn Packages Are Worth It
1. A complete story from bump to baby
Your pregnancy is the beginning of your child’s story, and those first newborn days are a continuation of it. Booking both sessions ensures you can remember the anticipation, the beauty, and the pure joy that filled this important season.
2. More value and flexibility
Most photographers, including me, offer more value when sessions are booked together. You receive more images, more guidance, and a smoother experience without having to schedule everything separately. Although packages change, currently you receive both a discount, bonus milestone session and print credit when you book an maternity and newborn package.
3. A consistent, connected look
Your maternity photos and newborn photos will share the same editing style, lighting approach, and emotional feel. This makes them perfect for albums, wall art, and keepsakes that tell one cohesive story.
4. Less stress for busy families
Planning separate sessions can feel overwhelming during pregnancy or after birth. A package allows you to book everything at once, receive full preparation guides for both sessions, and get support every step of the way.
What Is Included in Maternity and Newborn Packages
While every package varies, here is what most families receive:
• A maternity session in the location of your choice
• A newborn session at home or in my cozy lifestyle Cockeysville studio
• Outfit guidance and access to a client wardrobe
• A full preparation guide for both sessions
• Options to include partners, siblings, and pets
• A gallery filled with soft, timeless images
• The option to add prints, albums, fresh 48 or milestone sessions
Each package is designed to make the experience simple, meaningful, and stress free while giving you everything you need to preserve these memories beautifully.
When to Schedule Your Maternity and Newborn Sessions
Maternity sessions are usually best between 28 and 34 weeks, when your bump is round and you are still comfortable enough to move and pose with ease.
Newborn sessions are typically scheduled within the first 1 to 3 weeks after birth, although beautiful images can be created at any age. We set a date at booking which is about 2 weeks after delivery. If baby comes early we can always move the date back.
Booking a package early ensures your due date is secured and all the planning is taken care of in advance.
Choosing Between Studio or In Home Sessions
Both sessions within a maternity and newborn package can be customized to your style.
Studio Sessions
Perfect for families who want a clean, neutral, natural-light space with a simple backdrop and timeless feel. No cleaning up or worrying about light and colors in your home.
In Home Sessions
Ideal for parents who want comfort, warmth, and meaningful photos that feel personal and connected to their real life.
I help guide you through both options so you feel confident choosing what fits your family best.
Why Families Love These Packages
Parents often tell me that their maternity photos become even more meaningful once they see their newborn images. The combination of both sessions brings the story full circle and creates a set of memories that remind you how incredible this journey truly was.
Your child will someday look back and see how loved they were before they ever opened their eyes.
