How purchasing a Maternity & Newborn Session Package will reduce stress & allow for more intimacy and connection.
If you are a mama in your second trimester considering your options for maternity & newborn photography, this blog post is for you! As a East Bay Maternity & Newborn photographer, I have photographed dozens of expectant and new moms. These are some of the most exciting times of your life. You are growing a whole new human and welcoming them into your world. You know this time is fleeting and are choosing to document it with photography. This time can also be stressful. It is full of planning – from birth plans, to which diapers to use, and laundering all the new clothes you have been given – so, one thing that you want to be relaxing is your photo session.
One way to make your choice for photography easier, and more relaxing is to book your maternity & newborn session as a package. You’re probably wondering why. Let me explain.
A Personalized Experience
As a lifestyle maternity & newborn photographer, my focus is all about connection – real laughs and simple sweet authentic moments. When you book a maternity & newborn package, we get the opportunity to really know each other. Starting with your maternity session allows for us to warm up to each other. When I come into your home, it’s like we are old friends already! This also allows for me to curate your newborn session to you and your personality.
And, let’s talk about an even bigger bonus if you have other kids! I love being able to connect with your kiddos during a maternity session, and when I come to your home for your newborn session, you better believe the first thing they are going to do (after they show me their room, or newest toy) is show off their new sibling.
These connections are the most important part about being your photographer. And, don’t just take my word for it, read what one of my maternity & newborn sessions client said here:
“Emily is so fantastic. We have searched for and tested a few local photographers for years and feel so grateful to have finally found one we can call on for every life event. Emily has been there through pregnancies, new borns, holiday cards, family pictures, you name it. She is warm and inviting. My kids always smile for her because she makes you all that comfortable. Her work is top-notch and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone (and I have been!). I feel so fortunate to have our family’s life events captured by Emily. That is no small responsibility and I wouldn’t trust it with anyone else. She’s the best of the best!” – Mattie B.
Streamlined Planning
Beyond the connections that we create, a true benefit of booking a maternity & newborn package is streamlined planning and reducing stress. When we chat for your initial consult call, we get to go over all of the details of both sessions and plan the dates. I like to plan maternity sessions between 30-34 weeks gestation, and put your tentative newborn session date on the books at about 2-3 weeks after your due date. When we meet for your maternity session, all of our planning comes together, and can also help to put your partner at ease. As a new mom, your postpartum period will be difficult enough to manage, and you may not want to be the one coordinating our timing for your newborn session. We can easily manage that transition and set expectations when I meet your partner at the maternity session.
More Affordable Option
Finally, booking a maternity & newborn session as a package is the most affordable option. When you book these two sessions as a package you get $300 in savings! Additionally, you are able to break up your payments into 3 – a deposit, maternity payment and newborn payment. So, not only are you saving on the overall cost, you also save in your payments. It’s truly a win, win, win! When you book these sessions together, your savings increases without decreasing the value. Each session is tailored to you, and your family, and will truly allow for a relaxed and connected experience.
This is one of the most exciting times of your life, and each step deserves to be documented. So, as you prepare to welcome this new little being, I encourage you to consider how a maternity & newborn package will allow you to truly embrace the beauty of motherhood, from pregnancy to birth. I am here to help you alleviate stress, celebrate your beautiful body, and welcome the newest addition to your family with my maternity & newborn photography package.
