The Beginning

Maternity portraits, and the newborn session that follows

Maternity and newborn are the same story a few weeks apart, and they photograph best when they are planned as one thing. The Beginning books both up front.

The maternity half runs in studio, outdoors at golden hour, or split across both. Gowns in a range of sizes are included, and posing is directed continuously — almost nobody knows what to do with their hands, and that is entirely normal.

The newborn half is our standard newborn session, held against your due date, with the palette and styling carried over so the two galleries sit together properly.

If that does not describe you, say so when you get in touch. We would rather point you at the right package — or at a single session — than sell you the wrong one.
