Maternity or newborn photos—
what's more important?
The answer may surprise you!
If you’re expecting a baby, you may be wondering whether to book a maternity session or a newborn session. After all, both capture special moments, but if you have to choose one, which is more important?
Here’s the truth: you shouldn’t have to choose because maternity and newborn photography tell two equally important parts of your story. Let’s talk about why both are worth documenting and why they work together to create something truly meaningful.
The Magic of Maternity Photos in Vermont
Pregnancy is such a short-lived chapter in your journey to motherhood. Right now, it may feel like it will last forever, but soon, your baby will be in your arms, and this season of anticipation will be behind you. A Vermont maternity session isn’t just about capturing your baby bump—it’s about celebrating your transformation, your strength, and the love that already exists between you and your little one.
Many moms-to-be worry about feeling uncomfortable in front of the camera, but the right photographer will guide you in a way that makes you feel radiant, beautiful, and at ease. When you look back on your maternity photos, you’ll remember not just how you looked, but how you felt: the excitement, the wonder, and the deep connection you already had with your baby.
Why Vermont Newborn Photography Matters
Once your baby arrives, time seems to speed up. Those tiny fingers, the way they curl up against you, the soft newborn features—they change in the blink of an eye. A newborn session captures those first precious days in a way that no phone snapshot ever could. It freezes the fleeting details and emotions so you can relive them forever.
Newborn photography is about more than just getting a picture of your baby—it’s about telling the story of your growing family. It’s about capturing the way your baby fits perfectly in your arms, the way they yawn after a long nap, and the quiet, love-filled moments that make up those early days.
Why You Need Both Maternity and Newborn Photos
Together, maternity and newborn photos create a complete visual story of this life-changing time. One captures the anticipation, the other the arrival. One tells your story as an expecting mother, the other tells the story of your family with your new baby in your arms.
Having both means you can look back and see the full journey—the before and the after, the love that grew and the love that arrived.
Special Offer: Book Both and Save
Because these two sessions go hand in hand, I offer a special package: when you book your maternity and newborn session together, you’ll receive $100 off your newborn session. It’s my way of helping you tell your full story and ensuring that no moment gets missed.

"My husband and I are first time parents and we had Stephanie come to our home for our newborn’s photo session. We were strung out and exhausted, our house was kind of a mess, and we aren’t the most comfortable with having our photos taken to begin with. Stephanie was exceptional at making us feel comfortable and confident throughout the shoot. And we couldn’t be happier with the images she created of our family. She has a great eye for composition and really knows how to work with natural light. We look forward to booking more shoots with her in the coming years as our little one grows up!"
