If you’re anything like me, pregnancy is a beautiful blur—equal parts exciting, chaotic, and full of all the feelings. One minute you’re daydreaming about baby names, and the next you’re realizing your hospital bag still isn’t packed and you only have days before baby could make their arrival!

It’s a lot! Trust me, after having three kiddos myself, i totally get it!
That’s why I’m such a huge believer in going ahead and booking your maternity and newborn sessions together—because when you take just one thing off your plate now, you’re giving your soon to be postpartum self a big, warm hug!

So, why book them at the same time?

1. You already have enough to think about.
From doctor’s appointments to diaper decisions, your mind is full. Booking both sessions early keeps photography from being one more thing to juggle after baby is here while you and your baby are trying to figure out life outside of the womb. You can check it off your list and breathe a little easier knowing you’ve already got it taken care of and all you have to do is text or email me!

2. We get to build a connection before baby comes.
I don’t take lightly that I’ll be walking into your home during one of the most vulnerable seasons of your life. Meeting during your maternity session gives us time to chat, laugh, and get comfortable with each other—so by the time I arrive for your newborn session, it’s more like welcoming a familiar face than a stranger with a camera.

3. It helps tell the whole story.
It tells the story of the way your partner wraps their hand around your belly or the way your toddler rests their head on top of their sibling they’re waiting to meet. And then—just a few weeks later—tiny toes, sleepy snuggles, and the love growing in a brand-new way! These two sessions come together to capture the fullness of your journey into (or continuing through) motherhood.

4. It’s one less thing to scramble for later.
If you’re a new momma, trust me, or if you’re a seasoned momma, you already know… when baby arrives, your days will be full in the best (and most exhausting) ways! Having your newborn session already set up takes the pressure off. No last-minute Googling, trying to find a Longmont Newborn Photographer, no wondering if someone’s still available—you’re already on my calendar, and I’m waiting for your signal to come document the transition you’re in! Its the best!

5. You deserve to be in the frame—for all of it.
So many moms don’t realize until later that they were never in the pictures. By booking both sessions, it ensures that you get some beautiful images where you’re actually in the images… not only in your baby’s first few days, but in the leading up to welcoming you’re new baby as well! I promise, you’ll be so glad you were. I very much wish I would have taken my advice and now I can’t go back and do it over again. So learn from me!
