Bump to Baby: Maternity & Newborn Photography in South East London & Kent


Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, filled with anticipation, love, and excitement. From feeling those first little kicks to finally holding your newborn in your arms, these fleeting moments deserve to be captured in the most meaningful way. That’s why maternity and newborn photography go hand in hand—preserving your journey from bump to baby with timeless images you’ll treasure forever.

If you’re considering maternity and newborn photography in South East London and Kent, here’s why booking both sessions together is the perfect way to document your family’s story.

1. Capturing Your Journey: From Pregnancy to Parenthood

Your pregnancy is a time of transformation, both physically and emotionally. A maternity photoshoot allows you to celebrate the beauty of this special time and the incredible journey your body is going through. When your little one arrives, a newborn session continues that story—capturing their tiny features, precious expressions, and the overwhelming love you feel for them.

By booking both sessions, you create a complete narrative that beautifully documents the transition from expecting to embracing your baby in your arms.


2. A Consistent Photography Style for Timeless Memories

Choosing the same photographer for both maternity and newborn sessions ensures consistency in style, lighting, and editing. This creates a seamless look across your images, making them perfect for displaying together in albums, frames, or wall art.

As a specialist in natural and relaxed maternity and newborn photography in Bexley, South East London, and Kent, I focus on soft, emotive imagery that tells your unique story in an authentic way.


3. Strengthening the Emotional Connection

Your maternity session isn’t just about showcasing your growing belly—it’s about capturing the connection between you, your baby, and your loved ones. This emotional bond continues into your newborn session, where we document the first tender moments of parenthood.

Whether it’s the way your partner lovingly places a hand on your belly or the gentle way you cradle your newborn, these images become cherished keepsakes of the love and connection you share as a family.


4. Making the Most of Your Photography Investment

Many photographers offer bump-to-baby photography packages, which often include both maternity and newborn sessions at a special rate. Booking together not only ensures a smooth experience but can also provide excellent value. I offer £50 off your newborn package when you have had a maternity session with me

"Jo Cove Photography was fantastic with our newborn shoot in Bexley, Highly recommend! We was not rushed at all, she let our baby get comfortable and was very patient with him. She handled him with such care and made us feel very confident while she was putting him into positions. The pictures came out perfect and I will be putting them all over the walls of our house"
