From Bump to Baby: Indiana Motherhood Photographer
Your story, documented with honesty and heart.
Bundles starting at $500
From the quiet anticipation of pregnancy to the first days with your newborn, these are the moments that change everything.
I offer bump to baby photography in Indiana for families who want their full story documented with honesty, emotion, and connection.
What is a Bump to Baby photography experience?
A bump to baby experience is a combined storytelling approach that includes:
A maternity session during pregnancy
A Fresh 48 newborn session within the first 48 hours after birth
An In-Home newborn session within the first months of baby being home
Instead of treating these as separate moments, we document them as one connected story… because they are.
This is for families in Richmond, New Castle, Muncie, Indianapolis, and surrounding areas who want more than just posed portraits.
It’s about remembering how it felt.
Maternity Sessions in Indiana
Your maternity session is slow, intentional, and guided in a way that still feels natural.
No stiff posing. No pressure to “perform.”
Just:
connection
anticipation
soft, emotional moments
the beauty of this in-between season
These sessions can take place outdoors, in-home, or at minimal studio locations depending on your vibe.
Fresh 48 Newborn Sessions
Fresh 48 sessions take place within the first 24–48 hours after your baby is born, typically in your hospital room.
This is the beginning. The real beginning.
These sessions are:
raw and emotional
baby-led and unposed
focused on connection over perfection
quiet, documentary-style storytelling
The tiny details matter most here:
their hands, their skin, your first moments together as a family.
In-home Newborn Sessions in Indiana
After those first few days, everything begins to shift.
You’re home. Settling in. Learning rhythms. Figuring each other out in a slower, quieter way.
In-home newborn sessions are designed to document this season: when life starts to feel a little more real, a little more lived in.
These sessions are:
relaxed and unhurried
guided, but never forced
focused on connection, not perfection
centered in your real environment
No packing up. No rushing out the door.
Just your baby, your space, and the way your life is unfolding right now.

When you bundle your sessions, you’re not only getting a combined rate, you’re creating a full-circle story.
From pregnancy to those first days at home, nothing gets missed. The quiet anticipation, the sleepless nights, the adjustment into a new rhythm… all of it is documented in a way that feels honest and complete.
It’s not just about having photos, it’s about being able to fully live these moments, knowing they’re being preserved for you to come back to later- perfect for turning into an album that tells the beginning of your baby’s story.
Instead of scattered moments, you have something complete.
Something you can come back to, flip through, and feel all over again.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Not at all. Pets, toys, used burp rags… it’s all part of the story!
Your home doesn’t need to be “perfect.” I look for natural light and simple spaces, and I’ll guide you through everything in a way that feels easy and low-pressure.
These sessions are about your life as it is, not a staged version of it.
-
I’ll guide you through outfit planning so everything feels cohesive without being overly styled.
Neutral tones, soft textures, and comfortable pieces tend to photograph beautifully, especially for in-home and newborn sessions.
-
No, each session can be booked individually.
However, many families choose the bump to baby experience because it allows their story to be documented fully and cohesively from beginning to baby.
-
You can reach out through my inquiry form to get started.
From there, we’ll talk through your due date, session timing, and what feels most aligned for your family.
-
The best time to book is during your second or early third trimester.
This allows me to reserve space around your due date for your Fresh 48 session and plan your maternity session at the ideal time during pregnancy.
-
That’s completely normal.
Fresh 48 sessions are scheduled based on your due date, and I stay flexible and on-call around that window. Once baby arrives, you’ll let me know and we’ll coordinate timing for your hospital session.
-
Maternity sessions can take place outdoors, in-home, or in a studio depending on your vision.
Fresh 48 sessions typically take place in your hospital room, such as Reid Health Hospital in Richmond, Indiana, or nearby hospitals.
In-home newborn sessions take place in your home once you’ve settled in with your baby.
-
This depends on your session selection! Minis include 10 images per session, full sessions include 30 images per session.
Regardless of session length, every session includes a curated gallery of edited images that reflect your story naturally and intentionally.
