From Bump to Baby – A Return Client Story in the Adelaide Hills

From Waiting… To Holding

There is something incredibly special about being invited back.

I first photographed this beautiful family during their maternity session here in the Adelaide Hills — documenting the anticipation, the quiet excitement, and the waiting.

Months later, I was welcomed back to capture their newborn session.

From bump to baby, the transformation is profound.

The curve of a growing belly becomes the weight of a baby in your arms.
The waiting becomes holding.
The wondering becomes knowing.

As a maternity and newborn photographer based in Littlehampton, these are the seasons I love documenting most.

Maternity Photography in the Adelaide Hills

Maternity sessions are not about perfect poses or dramatic styling.

They are about:

• The way a mother instinctively rests her hands on her belly
• The quiet connection between partners
• The anticipation of meeting someone you already love

During this maternity session, we focused on natural movement, soft light, and genuine connection — allowing space for emotion rather than performance.

The Adelaide Hills provides the most beautiful, organic backdrop for this season of life, but the real focus is always the people within it.

A Calm, Connection-Focused Newborn Session

When I returned for their newborn photography session, everything had shifted.

The same mother I photographed weeks earlier was now holding her baby close.

Newborn sessions in my Littlehampton studio — or in-home across Adelaide — are intentionally calm and unrushed.

There is no pressure to perform.
No expectation to feel “ready.”
Just space to settle, hold, and breathe.

Each session includes a complete, carefully curated storytelling gallery — preserving not only how your baby looked, but how those early days felt.

Why Bump to Baby Photography Matters

Documenting both maternity and newborn creates a fuller story.

It captures:

• Anticipation and arrival
• Transformation and tenderness
• The beginning of a new family chapter

For many families, maternity photography is the first step — and newborn photography continues the story.

Being invited back to document both is one of the greatest honours of my work.

A First Year Story Begins Here

Newborn photography is often just the beginning.

Many families choose to continue documenting milestones — from three months to sitter sessions and first birthdays.

The first year moves quickly.

From bump to baby is only the start.
