Capturing your pregnancy is just as important as documenting your sweet little newborn babe. I know that being pregnant isn’t all rainbows and sunshine for some of us (myself included) but it is such a magical time that should be photographed. If not for us to look back on and remember just how large our bump got but for our children to look back on and see us carrying them inside us.

I think hiring a photographer to capture both your pregnancy and your newborn session is important because it creates a comfortable environment for you. Newborn photos take place within the first month of babies life, and if you already met your photographer at your maternity session, you’ll be much more comfortable inviting them into your home during such a intimate period in your life. Those postpartum hormones are no joke ya’ll.

Plus the same photographer means that the editing style and shooting style will match from each session!
