Bump to Baby | Pensacola Maternity Photography & Newborn Photographer

There's something extraordinarily special about documenting a family's first journey to parenthood. This is exactly why I offer "Watch Me Grow" baby plans - to offer an affordable option for my clients to have professional portraits taken during their pregnancy, when their little one is a newborn, and on through baby's first year.

Getting to be a part of Ana and Yessica's journey was just as special! I first met Ana and Yessica at their Maternity session - when Ana was already 36 weeks. (I wish I'd looked that amazing at 36 weeks!) Their love for each other was palpable from the moment I laid eyes on them.

Their son, Thales, was born at 40 weeks and 1 day, and from what I hear, Ana rocked that 14 hour labor. I had the absolute pleasure of taking his newborn portraits at their home in north Pensacola when he was 6 days old.

He was, and is, an absolute doll baby and completely rocked his session! 

These mamas were absolutely smitten with their new addition.

I'll leave you with what I think is the BEST thing about "Watch Me Grow" baby plans - continuity. If you look back, you'll see that the some quilt Ana is laying on in her maternity session was used as a basket stuffer for Thales' newborn session.

​I was also able to take a stylized approach at duplicating Ana's favorite picture from her maternity session during their newborn session. What a difference 4 weeks makes. The picture on the right was taken exactly 28 days after the one on the left.
