I love capturing families with their newborn. Especially when there is a sibling to capture even more love. This big brother was so happy to take photos with his new buddy. I love the blue for this little guy too. There has been a flood of girls in the studio for the past two months! lol

Welcoming a Newborn Baby Brother: A Special Bond Begins

Bringing home a newborn baby brother is an exciting and emotional time for the whole family! While parents are adjusting to life with a new little one, older siblings are also experiencing big changes. This new addition brings love, joy, and the start of a beautiful lifelong bond.

One of the best ways to help older siblings embrace their new role is by making them feel involved. Let them help with small tasks, like picking out a onesie or singing a lullaby. Taking special photos together can also be a wonderful way to celebrate their growing relationship—capturing those first snuggles, tiny hands holding fingers, and sweet sibling kisses creates cherished memories.

At Inspirations Photography, I love documenting these precious moments! Including big brothers and sisters in newborn sessions helps them feel included and creates timeless keepsakes of their special connection. As they grow, they’ll love looking back at the very beginning of their journey as siblings.

Maternity Session Intro:

If you’re like a lot of the soon-to-be-mothers I meet, you may be a little camera shy right now. Especially when you’re seven to nine months pregnant. And who can blame you! After all, your body has changed over the last several months, your baby is sitting low and you probably feel uncomfortable even walking from the kitchen to the living room sofa. Believe me, I can absolutely relate. 

Let me tell you something, though. You are gorgeous. You are stunning. In this moment, you are the absolute epitome of natural beauty. And every single picture we take together will showcase the inherent grace and elegance that accompanies all women with child. 

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: there is an unparalleled luminescence that radiates from a pregnant woman. A glow so unique to pregnancy that it’s impossible to replicate under any other circumstance. These thoughtful, artistic maternity photos of you will be treasured by you, your significant other, your friends and family and, yes, your unborn child, forever. 

In your maternity shoot, we’ll take a variety of photographs of you in different poses. As long as you’re comfortable, we’ll get photographs of you laying down, sitting, standing and leaning. Some will hone in on that adorable baby bump, some may be silhouettes of your frame and others will capture the bond between you and Daddy to be. 

 

Isn’t this adorable couple just glowing with all that mentioned above?! I just love how beautiful she looks.

Maternity FAQ

When should I schedule maternity photos? 

As a general rule of thumb, I like to schedule your maternity session shortly after you’ve told friends and family the exciting news! This will give us plenty of time to find a great day that works well for both of us. Maternity photos are typically taken when you’re showing — generally around 28-34 weeks into your pregnancy.

How many outfits should I bring to my maternity session?

One to two outfits for your maternity session is a good number to bring if you are choosing items from home. I do have a client closet where can choose from a variety of styles. I like to always have at least two for variety’s sake, but whether you want to wear more than that is up to you. I always recommend bringing a backup outfit or two just in case you’re not “feeling” the outfit you’d planned to wear.

What should I consider when planning maternity outfits? 

My biggest piece of advice is to wear something you feel both comfortable and beautiful in. My second piece of advice is for you to choose an outfit form-fitting enough to showcase your baby bump. Lastly, wear a supportive, well-fitting bra. Between us ladies, I know that breasts change a lot during pregnancy, so pick up a new bra that fits immaculately before our session to avoid discomfort and any lumps or bumps! 

Where do we take the photographs? 

Where we take photographs depends on the type of session we’re shooting. For maternity, I like to do on-location, outdoor photographs that let us maximize our access to natural light. This can be in a beautiful pasture, at the beach, or in the woods. 

Can my partner or child be in the photographs, too? 

Of course! I love incorporating mom, dad and your other children into our session photos. While in most cases you and dad will be the stars of the day, I believe it’s so important to have several photographs with the entire family.
