Welcoming a new baby into your life is one of the most special and fleeting experiences. From the first kicks during pregnancy to that first toothy grin, each stage is worth remembering forever. As a Bay Area lifestyle photographer, I’ve had the joy of documenting growing families from bump to baby—and beyond.

One of the smartest (and most rewarding) decisions you can make is to invest in a maternity and newborn photo package that includes baby milestone sessions. Not only does this approach give you a full story of your baby's first year, but it also helps save time, reduce stress, and offer better value.

Here’s why Bay Area families love booking photography bundles—and why you’ll thank yourself later.



1. Capture the Full Journey: Bump to Baby to Birthday

Your maternity glow, those fresh newborn details, and every sweet milestone in between deserve to be remembered. When you book a maternity and newborn photo package in the Bay Area, you're investing in the full story.

Imagine a beautifully cohesive collection that follows your family’s growth—from anticipation to arrival to first steps. These photos tell your baby’s first-year journey in a meaningful and heartfelt way.


2. Save Time (and Avoid Scrambling to Book Later)

Life with a newborn can be unpredictable—and busy. By booking all your sessions in advance, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your photography bundle is already scheduled. No need to stress over finding a photographer at the last minute for baby’s 6-month or 1-year session.

It’s all planned and customized just for you. And that means more time to soak in those sweet, fleeting moments.

3. More Value for Your Investment

Booking individual sessions adds up. Most photographers (myself included!) offer exclusive savings when you bundle multiple sessions. My Bay Area milestone packages are designed to give you more for less—without compromising on quality or attention to detail.

Plus, you’ll receive priority scheduling, consistent editing, and cohesive styling guidance across each shoot.


4. Priority Access and Consistency

When you book a photography package with me, you get priority booking, especially during busy seasons. You won’t have to worry about limited availability or rushed timelines. You’ll also benefit from working with one consistent photographer who understands your style, your baby’s personality, and your family's vibe.

The result? A seamless experience and a beautifully unified gallery across every session.


5. Milestone Sessions That Celebrate Every Stage

From tummy time to first birthdays, your baby changes more in the first year than any other time in life. Milestone sessions (typically at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months) are the perfect way to preserve those little expressions, new skills, and growing personality.

Whether it's a sitter session, a cake smash, or those first giggles—each one becomes a treasured memory.
