Maternity             & Newborn

A CALM & MEANINGFUL EXPERIENCE DESIGNED TO DOCUMENT THE BEAUTY OF A NEW LIFE

MCZPhotography is based in Bear Lake Idaho and loves capturing family sessions there!

Timeless Photos for the Season of Life that Changes Everything!

The Maternity and Newborn Season of life a filled with quiet moments that go so fast! My goal is to help you slow down and preserve them in a way that feels natural, comfortable, and really captures the emotions you are feeling during this season of life. 

These session are all about connection, tenderness, and the beginning of a new chapter of your family's story.

Why Maternity & Newborn photos matter more than you think

The maternity and newborn season is truly one of the shortest, but most meaningful chapters of parenthood. 

And the photos you get during this time become more than just photos. They become reminders of how it felt to wait and anticipate your new life with your newborn. Reminders of how it was to hold your baby during those first few weeks. And how it was to begin this new chapter with your new baby! 

Long after the sleepless nights fade, the photos & memories remain. 

I approach each of these sessions with care and intention. These times in your life are so important to document.

For the moms that wants beautiful photos to help remember this time of growing her family.   

Maternity session are all focused on connection and the anticipation. They Celebrate the beauty of pregnancy, of growing a new life! 

During your session we focus on the bump and the connection. We will get a variety of poses from smiling photos, to detail bump photos, and individual, family, couple photos.  

And if there are some fun props you want bring and include, lets add that to make it feel even more special and meaningful.

The Fresh 48 Experience

Fresh 48 Sessions document your baby within the first 48 hours after birth. These photos really focus on capturing the raw and emotional beginning of your story. 

Fresh 48 session happen while still at the hospital and really focus on the documentary style and capturing those first hours with your newborn.

These sessions really bring out the raw emotions of the first days of life and can be some of the most meaningful photos to capture what the newborn life was like in the very beginning. 

Motherhood Session Options

Thoughtfully designed for each stage of this new chapter in your life.

The Maternity Experience

Lifestyle Newborn Session are very relaxed and baby-led. If baby just wants snuggles then we will get some really precious photos of baby in your arms. If baby is sleepy we can get some really close up details. We are not forcing baby into any poses they don't want to be in.

We capture real moments, tiny details, and connection. Lifestyle newborns are all about the snuggles and real moments, not the baby poses and setups. We will get photos of the whole family together, mom & baby, dad & baby, older siblings & baby, and some details of just baby. But all focused on the connection between baby.

These session can happen either in a studio or right in your home!

What others are saying

Uniquely Yours

Make Your Session

One of my favorite things is when you choose to include something meaningful in your session. These details add personality and emotion to your photos. And it makes your photos feel even more like YOUR story.

This does not have to be anything big or elaborate. Sometimes the simplest touches are the most meaningful.

Some Families have included:
  • Heirloom chairs or blankets 
  • Sentimental Pieces 
  • Baby Name Signs
  • Sonogram 
  • Any other item that would help tell your story

We won't build your entire session around these items, but incorporating them for a few moments can create photos that feel especially personal and memorable. 

ALSO PETS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME!!
