Belly & Beyond Collection
From bump to first birthday — one unforgettable journey.
The Belly & Beyond Collection is a complete storytelling experience created to honor the fleeting, extraordinary first year of your baby’s life. From the quiet magic of pregnancy to the joy of a first birthday, this collection allows you to document every milestone in a seamless, meaningful way—without rushing, planning multiple bookings, or worrying about missing a moment.
We begin with a maternity session that celebrates this season of anticipation—your connection, your glow, and the love already surrounding your baby. As your baby grows, we slow things down and capture the in-between moments that are so often overlooked. The 6-month session focuses on emerging personality — smiles, movement, and curiosity. The 9-month session captures confidence, expressions, and connection as your baby becomes more interactive and expressive. These stages pass quickly, and documenting both creates a fuller, richer story of your baby’s first year.
The collection concludes with a 12-month portrait session paired with a simple, timeless cake smash — a celebration of one full year of growth, love, and milestones, without overpowering the moment.
Each session is guided and personalized, with styling support and access to the client wardrobe to ensure consistency and a timeless look across the entire year. All images are carefully hand-edited to reflect your family’s story in a natural, emotive way.
As part of the Belly & Beyond Collection, you’ll also receive a 20-page luxury heirloom album that brings all five sessions together into one beautifully crafted keepsake, designed to be enjoyed for generations. Families also receive an exclusive 30% savings on event coverage, making it easy to document celebrations such as baptisms, birthdays, or special family gatherings.
This collection is more than photography—it’s a way to slow down time and hold onto the moments that pass far too quickly. From your growing belly to your baby’s very first birthday, every chapter deserves to be remembered.
Let’s create a keepsake collection you’ll treasure for a lifetime—starting from your beautiful beginning to your baby’s first year!

The best time to book is the end of the first trimester to secure your session in my calendar. Maternity sessions are usually photographed between 28–34 weeks, when your bump is beautifully round and you still feel comfortable. Once your baby arrives, we’ll schedule the newborn session within the first 7–21 days. Then we can plan milestone session around your baby’s natural development.

You’ll have access to my studio wardrobe, wraps, props, and accessories. For maternity sessions, I have beautiful dresses you can borrow, or you’re welcome to bring your own outfits. For newborns, everything needed for posing and styling is provided—just pack extra milk, diapers, and anything your baby needs to stay cozy.

Absolutely! Partners and siblings are always welcome. These sessions are all about celebrating your growing family, so we’ll include a mix of individual, baby-only, and family portraits in both the maternity and newborn sessions.
-
What if my baby isn’t sitting, crawling, or walking at the “expected” time?
That’s completely okay. Every baby develops differently, and sessions are guided based on ability rather than age. The focus is on capturing your baby authentically, exactly as they are in that moment.
-
What does “simple cake smash” mean?
A simple cake smash focuses on your baby and the moment—not overly themed sets or distractions. The styling is clean, timeless, and minimal, allowing your child’s personality and expressions to take center stage.
