They say time is a thief, but I think time is more like a magician. It performs this incredible sleight of hand where one day you are navigating the vast, beautiful glow of pregnancy, perhaps strolling through the long grass at sunset in Springfield or feeling the breeze on a family walk by the Brisbane River and the next, you’re cradling a tiny human who smells like heaven and milk (Seriously, intoxicating!!!)
If you’re currently in the “anticipation” phase, I see you, Mama. You’re rubbing that belly, feeling those rhythmic hiccups, and wondering who this little soul will be. Or lets be honest, maybe you are SUPER over it and just ready for the next phase (that was me!). Living in Queensland, you’re probably also navigating the humidity and the exhaustion. The thought of a photoshoot might feel like one more thing.
I’ve been there, very recently in fact! Not just as a photographer, but as a mama myself. And today, I want to tell you why capturing my new baby in a bump to baby photography package style set of shoots was the best gift I ever gave my future self.
I would love to reveal my beautiful “before” and “after” photos from my own pregnancy and newborn bubble. These were taken during the Mother’s Day Mini set up this year in our Springfield Photography Studio.
My Bump to Baby “Before and After”
Why Choose a Bump to Baby Photography Package in Brisbane?
When searching for the perfect photographer fit, I know many local mamas look for bump to baby photography sessions because they want a seamless experience. Its about trust. And continuity. Getting to know me as your photographer when you are pregnant so you know you can trust me with your precious new baby. As well as continuity of photography style. So your maternity, and newborn photos tie in seamlessly and tell the beautiful story of your pregnancy and meeting your little one.
As a Newborn Photographer I have the privilege of being one of the very first people to meet, or hold your baby. That is why it is SUCH a great peace of mind to be able to meet each other when photographing your pregnancy, that way you can see – I’m not a weirdo! And you can be comfortable when it comes time to photograph your tiny newborn.
Here is why bundling your Maternity and Newborn sessions with a bump to baby bundle is the way to go:
- A Cohesive Storyline: Whether we do your maternity session at a Gold Coast beach or a leafy Brisbane park, even if you choose an in home newborn session, or a studio Newborn Photography session in our Springfield Photography studio, your gallery will have a consistent “soul.” The same emotive feel flow from your pregnancy glow into those first newborn snuggles. And the same artistic eye and editing style from myself to bring it together.
- The Comfort Factor: By the time I walk into your home for your lifestyle newborn session in Brisbane, or Springfield Newborn Photography Studio, we aren’t strangers. I’ve already seen you in your “bump” glory. You can relax, and trust that I know exactly how to capture your family’s unique magic without the “stiff” posing.
- One Less Decision: Mama, the “mental load” is real. Booking your maternity and newborn photography bundle early means your newborn session is already secured. No frantic Googling while you’re sleep-deprived in the fourth trimester. I would hate for you to miss out because things get intense in that postpartum period. These are memories you can’t get back.
Brooke’s Bump to Baby “Before and After”
Beat Time at Her Own Game (From Sunshine Coast, to Brisbane, to the Gold Coast)
I know it’s tempting to say, “I’ll just take some iPhone photos.” But for the big-hearted mama who wants to create a legacy, these professional images are the “artifacts” your children will hold 20 years from now. And its one of those things if you don’t book it in, and dedicate the time, you may never get to it. Which is heartbreaking!
Whether we are capturing your “before” in the rolling hills of the Hinterland or your “after” in the quiet of your Brisbane Northside home, these photos matter. They won’t care if the house wasn’t perfect. They will look at those bump to baby photos and see how much they were loved before they even took their first breath.
Ready to Tell Your Story?
If you’re looking for bump to baby photography in Brisbane (or even down the coast!) that values authenticity over perfection, I would love to be your person.
Get in touch here, Mama and lets bring your dream photos to life.
