The Maternity Experience
Pregnancy is powerful. It is quiet strength, anticipation, and transformation all at once.
Maternity sessions at Natasha Snyder Photography are designed to feel calm, intentional, and beautifully feminine — whether photographed in the studio, on the farm at golden hour, or within a styled indoor setting.
Full access to the client wardrobe is included, with carefully curated gowns designed to photograph beautifully and flatter every stage.
Together, we design a session that reflects this season authentically — refined, emotional, and timeless.
The Newborn Experience
Newborn sessions are gentle, unhurried, and baby-led.
Whether you prefer a softly styled studio session, a lifestyle approach on the farm, or a blend of both — every detail is thoughtfully handled for you.
From wraps and neutral styling to parent portraits and sibling moments, each session is curated to feel natural and elevated — never stiff or overly posed.
The goal is simple: preserve how it felt.
Maternity & Newborn FAQ
When should I book my maternity session?
Maternity sessions are typically scheduled between 28–34 weeks, when your bump is beautifully defined but you’re still comfortable. I recommend booking early in your second trimester to secure your preferred date.
When should I book my newborn session?
Newborn sessions are ideally photographed within the first 1–3 weeks after birth, when babies are still especially sleepy and naturally curled.
However, I understand that every birth story is different. If your baby is older than three weeks — whether due to medical reasons, recovery, or simply timing — please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Beautiful portraits can be created at many stages of those first months. If you’ve been told “it’s too late,” I encourage you to reach out. There is still time to document this season.
Do you provide wardrobe for maternity sessions?
Yes. Clients have access to a curated wardrobe of maternity gowns selected specifically for photography. Each piece is chosen to photograph beautifully and flatter this season.
What style are your newborn sessions?
Newborn sessions are calm, natural, and baby-led. I offer studio, lifestyle, and blended sessions depending on your preference. My approach is timeless and refined — never overly posed or trend-driven.
Can siblings and parents be included?
Absolutely. Parent and sibling portraits are encouraged and thoughtfully incorporated into each session.
What if my baby arrives early or late?
That’s completely normal. Your newborn session date remains flexible to accommodate your baby’s arrival.
Is there an advantage to booking maternity and newborn together?
Yes. Families who reserve both sessions receive preferred investment incentives as part of our long-term portrait offerings.
Still have questions?
I’m happy to walk you through everything personally.

Natasha knows exactly how to capture the moment and turn it into an incredible piece of art! I am so thankful for her passion for photography. She goes above and beyond! The fact that she gets to know you and your personality says a lot about her business. She studies and researches the theme of the shoot. She also takes her time and everything else falls into place when she transforms your images into a beautiful piece of art. Natasha is a natural artist who believes in the power of creativity! She will make your dreams a reality!

With the help of my husband, we developed the entire landscape into a photographer’s haven. Some of the most beautiful portraits are made right here, and when you book with me, all of this is included in your session.
Significance of Prints - Why Printing Your Portraits are Important
In our lifetime we will make a lot of memories with our family. Invest in artfully preserving those memories. Leave a legacy of your love.
We currently live in a world where 100s of 1000s of photos are being taken daily on our hand devices... our cell phones. Will your grandchildren see them? Or will they forever be lost in the cloud?
