If you’re expecting a little one, the Belly & Baby Plan is one of my favorite offerings at Meghan Doll Photography. This special package includes both a maternity and a newborn photography session, giving you the chance to beautifully document the full journey into parenthood.
I often highlight my Baby Plan graduates—those sweet sessions at newborn, six months, and one year—but the Belly & Baby Plan holds a special place in my heart. It’s perfect for Minneapolis families who want to capture the quiet anticipation of pregnancy and the early, sleepy days of life with a newborn.
Both sessions tend to have such a peaceful energy. There’s a gentle calm that comes with maternity photos—whether we’re in the studio or on location, there’s this soft, glowing excitement that’s impossible to fake. Then, once baby arrives, we work hard to keep the studio cozy and serene to help your little one drift off, allowing us to capture those dreamy, curled-up newborn portraits that new parents love.
Why book maternity photos in Minneapolis?
Your maternity session might be one of your last “grown-up” outings for a little while—and it’s the perfect excuse to get dressed up, feel pampered, and celebrate everything your body is doing. Many of my clients use this session to focus on their connection as a couple, while others bring in older siblings for a few family shots. Whether you want a relaxed, cozy vibe or something more artistic and styled, we’ll tailor the session to match your vision.
This particular couple wanted exactly that—a mix of soft, intimate family moments and artistic, editorial-style portraits. I loved helping bring that vision to life!
When to schedule your maternity and newborn sessions
If you’re considering the Belly & Baby Plan, the ideal time to book your Minneapolis maternity photography session is between 30–36 weeks of pregnancy. For newborn photography, I recommend photographing your baby within the first 7–14 days after birth, while they’re still oh-so-sleepy and curled up.
