Pregnancy and those first weeks with your newborn are some of the most fleeting and precious moments of your life. It’s completely normal to feel a little nervous about booking a professional photography session. Maybe you worry about looking awkward in front of the camera, or wonder if it’s really worth the cost. Perhaps you think your partner can just snap a few iPhone photos and that will be enough. I hear you. That’s exactly why the Bump to Babe package exists. It’s designed to make the experience easy, fun, and meaningful, while capturing both your maternity glow and the first precious days with your baby in a way that feels natural and authentic. This is about preserving memories that you will treasure for a lifetime here in Newcastle.

I’ve had the joy of photographing two incredible women who trusted me to capture their journey from bump to babe. The results were stunning. Each story was unique, yet the love, anticipation, and absolute joy of welcoming a new life was evident in every frame.

Should you book your maternity and newborn photo sessions together?

Booking both maternity and newborn sessions together ensures your story flows naturally from pregnancy to baby’s first weeks. Capturing these moments as a connected narrative creates a cohesive, timeless collection of images, rather than isolated photos that feel disjointed. By booking the Bump to Babe package in , you invest in a professional experience that highlights the continuity of your journey, celebrating every detail, emotion, and milestone.

Two unique journeys, one beautiful story

For one client, her maternity session was filled with a gorgeous sunrise, silhouettes against a bright orange sky, and just a fun time hanging out together at the beach with her soon-to-be baby daddy. Her newborn session just weeks later was tender and intimate, captured on a gloomy and rainy morning; tiny fingers curled around her hand, sleepy yawns, and the first precious cuddles.

My other client had a completely different energy: bold, vibrant, and playful. Her maternity shoot captured her excitement in full sun at a local property; a bright blue sky with pops of colour. We went in channelling Hailey Bieber’s maternity shoot and safe to say that we nailed it. Her newborn session reflected that same energy with some full sun shots, and pops of colour where we could.

Booking both sessions together allowed each family’s story to flow naturally from the anticipation of maternity to the wonder of newborn life. The result is a cohesive, timeless collection of memories that feels intentional and connected, not like a handful of separate photos scattered across your camera roll.

How the Bump to Babe Package Works

Booking maternity and newborn sessions together isn’t just convenient, it’s creatively superior. Here’s why:

Your story stays cohesive. Tiny details from your maternity shoot, like the light, the colors, and your style, echo beautifully in your newborn session.
You have a trusted photographer from start to finish. You don’t need to worry about coordinating different styles or photographers. I already know your family, your space, and your vision. Plus, since we already know each other, our newborn session will be an absolute breeze, just like hanging out with one of your girlfriends.
It is worth the investment. While it might feel like a big decision, professional photography ensures your memories are captured beautifully and stress-free. These are photos that will become heirlooms, not just digital files lost in your phone.
