From Bump to Baby: A Maternity + Newborn Combo Session Story

There’s something powerful about documenting the full transition into parenthood—especially when it’s not your first time doing it. This family brought me back for their second baby’s first-year package, which meant we had already built trust, and the rhythm was familiar. The result? Effortless sessions and a cohesive story that spans months, not just a day.

Here’s a quick look inside this maternity and newborn photography experience in Austin.

The Maternity Session

We met for a beautiful morning session at Pease Park. If you’ve never been to this park, you’re missing out! Whether you’re doing a photo session or just want to hang out as a family, this location should be a MUST on every family’s list. We didn’t do anything overly styled, just thoughtful movement and real connection. Their toddler joined in for part of it, and the session gave space for everyone to settle in and be themselves. It was relaxed, low-pressure, and gave us a chance to reconnect before the baby arrived.

The Newborn Session

A few weeks later, I arrived at their home for the newborn portion of their combo session. The light was soft, the baby was chill and everyone felt at ease! Their dog wandered in and out. The toddler…toddler’d and that was totally okay. We got great photos of each sweet combo. It didn’t need to be perfect—it just needed to feel real. And it did.

Benefits of a Maternity and Newborn Photography Combo Session

📸 Built-in familiarity
We’ve already worked together once before the baby arrives. Everyone (especially siblings) feels more relaxed.

📸 Consistent editing + mood
No need to hire separate photographers—your photos will match in tone, style, and feeling. Not only does this make for beautiful photos, but it also aids in creating an album that flows naturally from one session to the next.

📸 A complete story
You don’t have to choose between bump or baby. You get both, and they tell a more meaningful story together. I’ve never had anyone regret booking both! But sometimes, if you decide not to do a maternity session, you can feel like you missed out on an important part of your journey.

📸 Bundle options available
When you book both, there’s pricing flexibility built in. (Ask me about first-year packages.)

For Families Who Want More Than One Day Remembered

Even better. You deserve photos that feel just as special, with the ease that comes from doing it your way this time.
