Bump to Baby Collection
SPRINGFIELD, MISSOURI MATERNITY & NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER
Voted Best Photographer in Springfield, MO (2025)
From the anticipation of pregnancy to the first days with your newborn, the Belly to Baby Collection is designed to preserve every chapter of your growing family's story. This collection combines maternity photography, Fresh 48 photography, and newborn photography into one seamless experience, allowing you to document both the beauty of pregnancy and the fleeting moments that follow after your baby arrives.
As a Springfield, Missouri maternity and newborn photographer, I specialize in creating a relaxed, guided experience for growing families throughout Springfield, Nixa, Ozark, Republic, Rogersville, Willard, Strafford, Battlefield, Fair Grove, Marshfield, Bolivar, and surrounding Southwest Missouri communities.
Maternity sessions are typically scheduled between 28–34 weeks and can take place in my downtown Springfield natural light studio or at an outdoor location. Clients have access to my growing client closet, and I will guide you through every step of the process so you can feel confident and comfortable throughout your session.
After your baby arrives, you'll have the option to preserve those first moments through a Fresh 48 session before moving into your newborn session. Fresh 48 photography documents your baby's first hours and days in a natural, storytelling style, while newborn photography focuses on preserving all the tiny details you'll never want to forget.
Newborn sessions are relaxed, baby-led, and designed with safety as the highest priority. As an APNPI-certified newborn photographer, I have completed extensive newborn safety education and continue investing in ongoing training. Newborn sessions include wrapped newborn photography, posed newborn photography, access to a carefully curated collection of wraps and props, and the option to include parents and siblings to document your family's newest chapter.
Since 2022, I have had the privilege of photographing growing families throughout Southwest Missouri. The Belly to Baby Collection is perfect for families who want a consistent, stress-free photography experience from pregnancy through newborn while preserving memories that only become more valuable with time.
FAQ
When should I book my maternity and newborn photographer in Springfield, MO?
Most families book their Belly to Baby Collection during the second trimester. Booking early allows me to reserve your due date on my calendar and ensures availability for both your maternity photography session and newborn photography session in Springfield, Missouri.
What is included in the Bump to Baby Collection?
The Bump to Baby Collection includes a maternity session with 20 edited digital images, a Fresh 48 session with 15 edited digital images, and a Signature Newborn Session with 30 edited digital images. Parents and siblings are welcome to participate, and families have access to my client closet, newborn wraps, props, and styling. This collection is designed to preserve every chapter of your journey from pregnancy through your baby's first days while saving over $375 compared to booking each session separately.
Fresh 48 sessions take place within the first 24–48 hours after birth, either in the hospital or at home, and are designed to capture the raw, emotional moments of welcoming your baby into the world.
What happens if my baby arrives early or late?
No worries! When you book your Belly to Baby Collection, I reserve your due date rather than a specific newborn session date. Once your baby arrives, we'll schedule your newborn session within the ideal timeframe based on your baby's birth date.
Can my spouse and children be included in both sessions?
Absolutely. Maternity and newborn photography sessions are designed to celebrate your entire family. Spouses and siblings are welcome to participate in both sessions at no additional cost.
Do you offer Fresh 48 photography in Springfield, Missouri?
Yes. Fresh 48 sessions are available at local hospitals and in-home throughout Springfield and Southwest Missouri. These sessions take place within the first 24–48 hours after birth.
Where do maternity and newborn sessions take place?
Maternity sessions can take place outdoors or in my downtown Springfield natural light studio. Newborn sessions are available in-studio or in the comfort of your home.
When should maternity photos be taken?
Maternity sessions are typically scheduled between 28–34 weeks when your baby bump is beautifully visible while you are still comfortable.
How far in advance should I reserve my due date?
Most families book during the second trimester, but I recommend reserving your due date as soon as possible because newborn availability is limited.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. Flexible payment plans are available for the Belly to Baby Collection. Many families choose to make payments throughout their pregnancy so their collection is paid off before their newborn session. Please contact me for current payment plan options.
Testimonials
Kaitlyn is amazing! We did a Maternity, Fresh 48, and Newborn package with her. Right off the bat she was so sweet and patient with my very shy 2-year-old. Kaitlyn made her feel so comfortable and special, which resulted in natural and beautiful photos. Being postpartum is mentally and physically exhausting, but Kaitlyn made each session comfortable, relaxed, and easy. The pictures were gorgeous and Kaitlyn's client care was exceptional.
