Maternity & Newborn

Because these moments only happen once… and they’re gone in an instant.

Motherhood is a journey filled with tiny miracles—some you feel long before the world sees them, and others that arrive in your arms and change your life forever. These seasons of anticipation, tenderness, and new beginnings deserve to be remembered with intention.

Maternity portraits are more than “photos.” They are a celebration of the strength, beauty, and love that grows long before your baby arrives. One day, you’ll look back at these images and remember what it felt like to carry an entire future within you—each kick, each heartbeat, each quiet moment of connection. These portraits become part of your child’s story. Someday, they’ll see how deeply they were loved before they ever took their first breath.

Newborn portraits capture the details that fade far too quickly—the flaky toes, the sleepy smiles, the gentle way they curl into your hands. Those first days pass in a blur of tired joy, and before you know it, their features change, their tiny clothes no longer fit, and your baby is no longer quite so tiny. These photographs freeze those soft, fleeting moments so you can relive them for the rest of your life.

At Smith Family Photography, we believe in creating a peaceful, patient, and nurturing environment for you and your little one. You deserve to relax, soak in the moment, and simply enjoy your baby while we preserve the memories.

These are the images your children will grow up seeing displayed in your home. These are the portraits that will be passed down, held onto, and cherished long after the newborn stage is gone.

If your heart is telling you to hold onto this moment… follow it. Your future self—and your little one—will be so glad you did.

Maternity sessions

Time goes by so quickly. Nine months may feel endless while you're eagerly waiting to meet your baby, yet before you know it, you’ll be looking back fondly on those sweet moments of pregnancy. Maternity sessions capture the glow, the love, and the excitement of this beautiful chapter in your life.

Our maternity sessions are best scheduled between 29–35 weeks, when your bump is round and lovely, and you’re still comfortable enough to move and pose with ease. You’ll have access to several elegant maternity gowns, and your choice of one gown rental is included in the session.

We offer two types of Maternity Sessions: Mini Maternity and Maternity & Newborn Mini Session.


Mini Maternity — $50 (Ben Hur) / $85 (Other Locations)

A simple and beautiful way to celebrate your pregnancy.

  • One maternity gown rental

  • 2 artistically enhanced digital images

  • Session in Ben Hur with the option to upgrade to another location

Perfect for expecting moms wanting a quick, affordable update.

Maternity & Newborn Mini — $250

A seamless way to capture both your pregnancy and your baby’s first days.
Includes:

  • One maternity gown rental

  • 5 digital images

  • Studio Newborn Mini Session

  • Option to upgrade to a full newborn session

An ideal choice if you want both milestones captured without purchasing separate sessions.


Newborn Sessions

Time moves even faster once your baby arrives. Those first days at home feel tender and magical… yet they blur together in a heartbeat. One moment you’re counting tiny fingers and breathing in that new-baby scent, and the next, they’re already stretching, changing, and outgrowing the details you swore you’d never forget.

Newborn sessions give you the gift of holding onto those fleeting moments forever. The soft little yawns, the milk-drunk smiles, the way they curl perfectly into your hands—these are the memories you’ll want to revisit long after the newborn stage has passed. These portraits become precious reminders of just how small they once were and how deeply loved they’ve always been.

For the most peaceful and sleepy portraits, newborn sessions are best scheduled within the first 5–14 days of life. During this window, babies are still naturally curled, cozy, and more likely to rest soundly—allowing us to gently pose them and capture all those delicate, dreamy details.

These early days go by quickly, but your memories don’t have to fade. We offer three types of Newborn Sessions: Studio Newborn, Lifestyle Newborn and a Newborn Mini Session.
