From Bump to Baby: Why Documenting It All Matters Thoughts from Sacramento’s premier maternity and Newborn photographer
There’s a quiet kind of transformation that happens when you become a mother. It’s not just your body that changes, your heart expands in ways you didn’t think possible. One day you’re cradling your belly, imagining the little kicks and hiccups inside... and the next, you’re holding your baby in your arms, memorizing every tiny detail of their face.
As a Sacramento and Roseville motherhood photographer, I’ve been honored to walk alongside dozens of women during this sacred journey. And I can tell you this: capturing both maternity and newborn moments isn't just about getting “pretty photos” it’s about telling the full story. Your story.
Maternity
slowing down to soak it in
A maternity session is more than just a beautiful photo of your bump (although we’ll definitely get that too). It’s about giving yourself permission to slow down, breathe, and be present in the middle of all the planning, prepping, and “what if” thoughts swirling around.
We’ll find a quiet little spot…maybe a golden field in Roseville, or a sun-drenched studio, and create something simple and meaningful. You’ll have access to my curated client wardrobe (so no stressing over what to wear), and I’ll guide you through the whole thing so you feel relaxed and confident. Think of it as a love letter to the season you’re in right now.
Newborn
remembering the little things
Then your sweet baby arrives. And wow—time speeds up fast. You’re learning each other’s rhythms, finding your way through sleepless nights and soft snuggles The days move faster. The details, like the way their fingers curl, the sound of their breath, the way they fit perfectly against your chest, are worth remembering.
Newborn sessions allow us to pause again, this time with your baby in your arms. Whether you choose a peaceful in-home session, my serene studio experience in Roseville, or an outdoor setting surrounded by light and nature, the goal remains to document these early moments with grace and softness. You don’t need to have anything perfectly prepared. I’ll bring all the essentials, including wraps, props, and a calming presence.
You don’t have to choose
Why you should document both?
Together, your maternity and newborn photographs tell a complete story: the anticipation, the transformation, the love that grows with each passing day. Choosing to document both allows us to create a visual narrative that you and your child will cherish for years to come.
This season may feel like it will last forever, but it moves so quickly. The images we create will hold onto the feelings, the connection, and the quiet beauty that might otherwise fade with time.
If you're expecting and considering scheduling a maternity or newborn session—or both—I invite you to reach out. I currently have limited availability for spring and early summer bookings in Sacramento and Roseville.
