Bump-to-Baby Sessions Explained: Timing, Pricing, and What to Expect

You have nine months to plan your maternity shoot. You have about three weeks to plan your newborn one. Most parents don’t realise this until the three weeks are already gone.

In 13 years of photographing babies, the question I hear most is “can you still shoot newborn photos, my baby is already a month old?” Usually, the answer is yes, but not the photos they were imagining.

What Is a Bump-to-Baby Session?

It’s simple. One photographer. Two sessions. One journey. You book once, during your pregnancy. We shoot your maternity session first. Then, after your baby arrives, we shoot the newborn session too.

Same studio. Same team. Same story, told in two parts.

Why the Newborn Window Closes So Fast

Maternity photos are flexible. You can shoot anytime between 28 and 36 weeks.

Newborn photos are not. That soft, curled-up, still-sleepy newborn look only lasts a couple of weeks. After that, your baby is more alert, more active, and those tiny newborn poses are gone for good.

This is the window most parents miss. Not because they don’t care — because life after delivery is chaos. Feeds, visitors, no sleep. The newborn shoot quietly slips down the list.

Why Booking Both Together Works Better

When you book maternity and newborn together, we plan for the newborn window in advance. We keep a slot open for you that month — before your baby is even born.

You don’t have to remember to call us later. We already know you’re coming. If you wait and call us last minute, once the baby has already arrived, we may not have a slot free in time. That’s when the window gets missed.

One Photographer, One Album

There’s another reason this works so well: your maternity and newborn photos end up in one shared album.

Same style. Same tone. Same photographer who already knows your story — not two unrelated shoots stitched together later.

It’s one chapter of your life, told the way it actually happened.

What Does a Bump-to-Baby Package Cost?

Bump-to-Baby is priced as a package, so booking both sessions together works out better for you than booking them separately. Exact pricing depends on your session preferences, so reach out to us and we’ll share current package details.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I book both sessions at once, or separately?
A: You book the package once, during pregnancy. We plan the newborn session together closer to your due date.

Q: What if my baby comes early or late?
A: That’s fine. We stay flexible and adjust your newborn slot based on your baby’s actual arrival.

Q: What if I didn’t book maternity with you? Can I still book just the newborn session?
A: Yes, you can. But newborn slots fill up fast, especially on short notice, so we recommend reaching out as early as possible.

Q: Can I add a saree maternity session to this package?
A: Yes, it can be added to your Bump-to-Baby package.
