How Far in Advance Should I Book the Bump-to-Baby Bundle?

If you're considering the Bump-to-Baby bundle, timing your booking can make the entire experience smoother.

Many expecting parents across Seattle and Snohomish County discover the bundle early in pregnancy but aren’t quite sure when they should actually reserve their spot.

The short answer: most families book during the second trimester to get the best availability and the least amount of stress later.

As an Everett maternity and newborn photographer with more than 25 years of experience, I’ve designed the Bump-to-Baby experience specifically to remove last-minute scrambling and give parents a clear, calm plan from the start.

Why Booking Early Matters

The Bump-to-Baby bundle includes two time-sensitive sessions:

your maternity session
your newborn session

Because newborn photography happens in a very specific window (ideally 10–21 days after birth), planning ahead gives us the most flexibility and the smoothest experience.

Seattle and Everett families who book early typically enjoy:

more date availability
better planning time
less third-trimester stress

The Ideal Time to Reserve the Bundle

For most moms, the sweet spot for booking the Bump-to-Baby bundle is:

✨ Between 20–28 weeks pregnant

This timing works beautifully because:

Your pregnancy is well established
There is still good calendar space
We can plan your maternity session comfortably
Your newborn's due date window is protected

Many Seattle-area parents tell me they feel immediate relief once both sessions are officially reserved.

What Happens After You Book

One thing parents love about the Bump-to-Baby experience is how simple the next steps feel.

After booking:

Step 1: We tentatively plan your maternity session
Step 2: Your newborn's due date is reserved
Step 3: I guide you through wardrobe and preparation

This flexible structure is especially helpful for busy Snohomish County families who don’t want rigid scheduling pressure.

What If I’m Already in My Third Trimester?

If you’re reading this and feeling behind — don’t worry.

I regularly work with Seattle and Everett families who discover the bundle later in pregnancy. The key is simply reaching out as soon as possible so we can check availability.

Even if your maternity session timing is tighter, we can often still:

reserve your newborn window
adjust maternity timing
create a plan that fits your situation

The earlier you inquire, the more options we typically have.

Why Many Families Prefer Booking the Bundle Early

Parents often tell me their biggest relief comes from knowing both milestones are already handled.

When you reserve the Bump-to-Baby bundle early:

You avoid last-minute photographer searches
Styling stays cohesive
Same-day ordering is already built in
One major to-do is completely checked off

For overwhelmed moms especially, this early planning makes a noticeable difference in how the experience feels.
