Welcoming a new baby into your life is a momentous occasion filled with emotions, love, and countless fleeting moments. There are many ways to preserve these special memories, ensuring you can cherish them for a lifetime.
Here are five beautiful photography options for documenting your new baby and your journey into parenthood.
1. Maternity Portraits
Capturing your beautiful bump is a wonderful way to celebrate your pregnancy. The best time for a maternity session is typically between 28-34 weeks when your belly is beautifully round but you’re still comfortable. These sessions can take place in your home or at an outdoor location of your choice. You can opt for a solo session to focus on your journey or include your partner and children for a more intimate, family-centered experience.
2. Birth Photography
The birth of your baby is a once-in-a-lifetime moment—raw, powerful, and filled with emotion. Documentary birth photography allows you to fully experience the moment while ensuring every incredible detail is preserved. From labor to your baby’s first breath, this style of photography captures the love, strength, and connections of this transformative day.
3. Golden Hour Photography
If full birth photography isn’t the right fit for you, a Golden Hour session might be a perfect alternative. This session takes place within the first few hours after birth, capturing your first quiet, intimate moments with your newborn. These images document your first cuddles, tiny fingers and toes, and the overwhelming love that fills the room.
4. Fresh 48 Session
A Fresh 48 session takes place within the first day or two of your baby’s arrival, giving you time to rest and settle in before capturing these early memories. Whether in the hospital, birth center or at home, this session documents your baby's tiny details and the tender interactions between your growing family.
5. In-Home Newborn Photography
The first weeks at home with your newborn are a blur of love, exhaustion, and new experiences. An in-home newborn session provides a relaxed and meaningful way to capture these moments. With no need to leave your home, you can focus on simply being with your baby while I document your family's connection in a natural and heartfelt way.
No matter which option you choose for documenting your new baby, investing in professional photography ensures that these fleeting moments become treasured keepsakes for years to come.
