Should You Book Maternity Photos or Newborn Photos
If you’re a local Greenville mama who is currently pregnant, whether you’re expecting your first baby or your 8th baby, I’m sure you’re wondering if you should book maternity photos or newborn photos. Well the obvious answer is that you should book BOTH! I personally have taken professional maternity and professional newborn photos with both of my babies, and I don’t regret the investment for a second.
BUT if, for the sake of budget, you have to choose just one of those options, there is no doubt whatsoever in my mind, that you should always choose to book NEWBORN photos!!
Don’t get me wrong, I love taking maternity photos AND newborn photos. I would be so happy to document both of these sessions for you. But if I was on a budget and could only choose ONE, I would choose newborn photos every time.
Newborn photos are the ones you’re more likely to hang on your walls and pass down for generations. Maternity photos are so special and beautiful but there is something extra special about your first family photos with your new addition. Plus, once your baby is born something feels incomplete when you look back on photos from before they were here. Don’t get me wrong, I love to have every stage of life documented. But if I had to choose, I would choose to document the whole family together with the newest addition. Those are the ones you would regret not taking the most.
The newborn phase is SUCH a special time and deserves to be captured so it can be cherished forever. Another option if you’re on a budget is to do a mini maternity session and a full newborn session. That way, both are still documented!
