Maternity to Newborn: Welcoming Baby Margo
Some stories are best told in two chapters—before baby arrives, and the beautiful days just after.
Margo’s maternity-to-newborn journey was soft, simple, and full of heart, and it was an honor to document it from beginning to beginning.

A Calm, Lakeside Maternity Session
We started her story at the lake, where the still water and golden reflections created the perfect backdrop for a quiet, natural maternity session. Her parents shared easy smiles, gentle embraces, and the soft anticipation that defines this season of waiting. One of my favorite details: her name, Margo, written in the sand beside them—a sweet nod to the little girl they couldn’t wait to meet.
These maternity photos captured exactly what they hoped for: light, connection, and the feeling of being on the edge of something beautiful.
Newborn Photos That Celebrate Simplicity
When Margo arrived, she brought a peaceful presence that translated effortlessly into her newborn session. Styled in soft neutrals, airy textures, and timeless tones, her portraits highlight everything we love about classic newborn photography—tiny details, curled poses, and a calm, organic style.
Her delicate hands, her sweet newborn rolls, and her dreamy expressions made every setup feel effortless. From wrapped poses to basket portraits, the focus stayed on what matters most: her.
Family Newborn Portraits Filled With Emotion
Some of the most meaningful images came when her parents held her close.
A quiet smile. A gentle nose-to-nose moment. A tiny baby resting in her father’s hands.
These family newborn photos complete the story, showing not just what Margo looked like, but how deeply she is loved.
Why Choose a Maternity-to-Newborn Session?
Documenting both chapters—maternity and newborn—creates a connected, cohesive story of your growing family. It’s a beautiful way to preserve the anticipation, the arrival, and everything in between.
