The Collective
a full service membership
WHAT IS THE COLLECTIVE?
Pregnancy and the newborn days are deeply connected. One flows directly into the next, and both pass faster than anyone ever expects. The Motherhood Collective exists for families who don’t want to choose between documenting one or the other—or scramble to plan during postpartum.
This experience was designed to remove stress, decision fatigue, and last-minute planning, while preserving two of the most meaningful chapters of your story with intention and care.
i want this!
A seamless, thoughtfully guided experience
With the Motherhood Collective, your maternity and newborn sessions are planned together from the beginning. That means no rebooking, no starting over, and no pressure to make decisions when you’re tired and adjusting to life with a newborn.
You’ll be guided through every step—from styling and timing to session flow and image selection—so everything feels calm, supported, and cohesive.
What this experience includes...
• A maternity session designed to help you feel confident, comfortable, and truly seen
• A newborn session that is slow, gentle, and completely baby-led
• Guided planning and support for both sessions so nothing feels overwhelming
• Styling guidance and access to the client wardrobe
• Priority scheduling to accommodate due dates and postpartum needs
• Private online galleries to view and select your images
• Optional heirloom artwork support to help you preserve your images beyond the screen
Digital image options are always available, with artwork offered as guidance—not obligation
Why Families Choose the Motherhood Collective
[ Join the Collective → ]
Because pregnancy doesn’t feel complete without remembering how it led to your baby.
Because newborn days deserve more than rushed planning or forgotten details.
Because you shouldn’t have to decide what matters most when you’re exhausted.
This experience allows you to fully document the beginning of your baby’s story—without pressure, without stress, and without having to piece it together later.
A natural choice for this season
The Motherhood Collective is ideal for families who value continuity, care, and a guided experience from start to finish. If you know you want both pregnancy and newborn days remembered, this becomes the most natural way to do it.
