Bump Babies and Newborn

A pregnancy photography session is a great opportunity to capture a magical moment in your life with a series of photos in your chosen clothing, props and backgrounds. The special moment should capture the bond with a mother and her unborn child or an intimate moment with the parents and siblings.

Our maternity photoshoots can either be pregnancy makeover shoots or as gender reveals and key gestation milestones.

A newborn photoshoot is when an infant baby is photographed in the first 14 days to capture their infantile state and remind parents of the new chapter in their lives for years to come. It should ideally take place in the first 2 weeks after the baby is born when the infant is often sleepy and can be posed more easily. Babies grow and change so fast, so documenting these early days is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Yes, we love to follow up a maternity photoshoot with the newborn baby first photography session to fully document the perinatal period. Speak to our friendly sales team today to book you in your pregnancy shoot.

We suggest that the maternity ‘Bump’ photography session in the 3rd trimester, and the newborn baby shoot takes place in the first 14 days.

Maternity photography sessions should ideally be taken between 32–34 weeks gestation period, which is your peak pregnancy glow and before it becomes too uncomfortable.

The best time for maternity pictures is when you look and feel great, but when you are showing enough to document this wonderful time. The start of your third trimester tends to be the optimum time to be in the photography studio as your baby bump will be nice and rounded.

If you’re an amateur photographer it can sometimes be hard to get a great photo of your subject. Luckily our in-house photographers are skilled at posing your baby into the adorable position for that perfect shot, and know exactly which background and props will give that wow factor plus ensuring the area is safe for your infant.

There are many poses that look great, and a sleepy child after a feed is a very willing participant. Newborns don’t look natural due to not developing control of their limbs yet and having skinny legs, and a new baby will snuggle into any pillow or blanket hiding their face. This makes it important to put them into the right pose.
