Bump-to-Baby Bundle Photography

 

1. Pick your maternity date online. Most moms book after 25 weeks. If you aren’t showing yet, we can reschedule!
2. We set your newborn date together after your maternity session. The formula is simple: your due date + 10 days = your session date. If your baby arrived early or late, rescheduling is simple.
3. Watch your email. Your contract and questionnaire arrive right after you book. Then I take care of the rest. I'll help you decide what to wear, bring, and how to display your photos in your home. I'll guide you every step of the way!

When should I book my maternity session?

The best time to book your maternity session is when you are 25+ weeks along. This gives us plenty of time to plan your session while ensuring your newborn's spot is automatically reserved on the calendar.

When is the best time for newborn photos?

Newborn sessions are typically photographed when babies are 10–21 days old, while they are still very sleepy and curly. However, older babies can absolutely be photographed — we’ll simply adjust the session to match your baby’s stage.

Can family be included in the Maternity and Newborn session?

Family and sibling images are always optional. Some families love including everyone, while others prefer to keep the focus just on the baby — both are completely welcome.

What should I wear for my maternity session?

You’ll have access to 70+ maternity wardrobe pieces in the studio, so there’s no need to stress about shopping. I’ll guide you in choosing flattering options and what you need to bring. The wardrobe is for the pregnant mom and baby only. I am sorry, I cannot offer a wardrobe for partners and children. 

Is hair and makeup included?

Yes — professional hair and makeup are included with the maternity and newborn session in the Bump-to-Baby Bundle to help you feel polished and camera-ready.

How does same-day ordering work?

Right after your session, you’ll view your photos on the big screen and choose exactly what you love. Same-day ordering = instant peace of mind.

How much do most families spend?

Your session includes a set number of edited digital files depending on the package you choose. After your session, you'll view your images and choose exactly what you want — additional digital files are $25 each, and there’s no minimum purchase. You are in control of how much you spend.

Where is the studio located?

IJ Photo is located in Everett and serves families throughout Snohomish County and the greater Seattle area. The private studio is fully prepared, so you can simply arrive and relax.

What if my baby arrives early or late?

No worries at all — your newborn session is scheduled flexibly around your baby’s actual arrival. Once the baby is here, you’ll simply reach out, and we’ll confirm the exact session date. Newborn sessions are typically photographed at 10–21 days old, but older babies can absolutely be photographed if needed. Your baby’s safety and comfort always come first.

Do you provide props and wraps for newborn sessions?

Yes — the studio is fully stocked with carefully selected wraps, textures, and simple props designed to keep the focus on your baby. Everything is prepared for you, so there’s no need to bring anything unless you have a small, meaningful item you’d like included (completely optional).

Can I purchase an album or wall art later?

Yes, you’re always welcome to add albums or wall art later through your online gallery. You’ll have the freedom to choose what feels right for your family.

How far in advance should I book the Bump-to-Baby Bundle?

 Most moms book during their second trimester to ensure availability. Booking once you are 25+ weeks along is ideal, so we have time to plan your maternity session and reserve your newborn spot on the calendar.

What if my baby is older than 21 days?

That’s completely okay. While the ideal window for posed newborn photos is 10–21 days old, older babies can absolutely be photographed. We simply adjust the session to match your baby’s stage, comfort, and alertness.

Do I need to bring anything for my newborn session?

The studio is fully stocked with wraps, textures, and simple props, so most families don’t need to bring anything. You’re welcome to bring a small, meaningful item if you’d like it included, but everything needed for a beautiful session is prepared for you.

 

Many of my clients drive up from Seattle, and they tell me it’s worth it. My Everett studio is just minutes off I-5, an easy trip from Seattle, Bothell, Lynnwood, Mill Creek, Marysville, and all of Snohomish County.

My studio is made for maternity and newborn photography. When you arrive, the sets, lighting, wraps, and wardrobe are already prepared. It is clean, calm, and private, and your baby’s safety comes first. You don’t need to get your home ready or coordinate two photographers. You simply walk in and relax.

If you’re looking for an Everett maternity photographer or a Seattle-area newborn photographer who guides you through everything, I would love to meet you.
