May 25, 2025
Are you interested in maternity and newborn photography, but you're worried about the cost?
I get it; maternity and newborn photography can be expensive, and it's important to understand why.
Let's talk about it!
Maternity and newborn photography requires a specialized skill set and experience.
As a maternity and newborn photographer, I'm not just a skilled photographer of 9 years, but I also have a deep understanding of pregnancy, loss, birth and the newborn stage. I'm a mom of 2 (second baby is my rainbow baby) so I know how to work with beautiful baby bumps, crying and fussy babies, and most importantly, I know how to capture the moments that matter most.
Maternity and newborn photography takes a lot of time.
As your photographer, I dedicate time to planning your session, guiding you with posing and wardrobe, and creating a calm, relaxed yet fun and easy going experience—whether we’re celebrating your beautiful bump or capturing your baby’s first days. After your session, I spend hours perfecting your images to ensure each one reflects the love and connection we captured and meets the highest standards.
The cost of maternity and newborn photography includes more than just the time spent at the session and editing the photos.It also covers the cost of professional-grade camera equipment, including cameras, lenses, lighting, and editing software. Additionally, as a photographer, I invest in ongoing training and education to improve my skills and stay up-to-date with the latest techniques and trends.
How much is maternity and newborn photography in Winnipeg?
The cost of a maternity and newborn photographer can vary depending on experience and the services and products offered. On average, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500-$1000 for a maternity and newborn photography package that includes digital files with a print release (which means the ability to print an unlimited number of images at the lab of your choice).
I know that investing in your baby bump is something you're thinking about, and I know you value these moments too much to let them pass you by which is why I offer payment plans to make sure that every single mama is able to capture her most desired moments. From a mom to a mom, these moments are fleeting.
Pregnancy, birth and the newborn stage is a life-changing experience that you'll never forget, and having professional photos to look back on can help you remember all the emotions, details, and love that surrounded you during that special time.
These photos are not just for you; they're a gift to your child. They'll show them how loved and welcomed they were from the very beginning, and these images will be cherished by you, your child, and your family for generations to come.
I want to make sure that everyone who wants to capture their maternity and newborn story through photography has the opportunity to do so.
Maternity and newborn photography may seem expensive, but it's an investment in preserving memories, celebrating life, and honouring the whole process.
So, if you're considering maternity and newborn photography, know that it's worth every penny and more!
