Sidney and Justin have become my sweet friends and it is an honor that they have trusted me to document their journey into parenthood. They opted for a spring maternity session in Santa Rosa Beach. Sidney was absolutely radiating wearing a beautiful pink gown in honor of her baby girl in her belly. The lighting, locations, and love these two have for one another made this session one of my absolute favorites.
The Anderson Family
Big brothers, Granger and Mathis, did INCREDIBLE loving on and snuggling their new baby sister, Frances. Baby Frances didn’t make a peep the entire time she was awake and slept like a champ halfway through. This stunning family opted for light and neutral toned outfits to keep all of the focus on their newest addition and their love for one another. Mama chose a gorgeous white, long-sleeved gown from The JKP Client Closet. It doesn’t get more natural and authentic than this!
The McIntosh Family
Being someone’s go to photographer is a precious title to hold. From the Cureton’s baby announcement to Charlotte Rose’s newborn session, having the privilege of documenting their most precious moments is an honor. Catherine and Colton chose to have their maternity session at The Botanical Gardens. Catherine wore a stunning floral gown from The JKP Client Closet to showcase her growing belly. We ended their session in the rose garden which was the perfect symbolism for little Charlotte Rose in her mama’s belly. Charlotte Rose was just 6 days old for her newborn session and slept the entire time. She is her mama’s twin with her beautiful, dark, and striking features. Her mama opted to wear a stunning white, long-sleeved gown from The JKP Client Closet which highlighted her stunning dark features. I am so thankful to have this gorgeous family a part of the JKP Fam!
The Cureton Family
There is nothing sweeter than a mama and her baby girl. I’ve had the privilege of documenting this beautiful mama’s journey through motherhood and some of Abigail’s monumental milestones. From Ashlyn and Ryan’s baby announcement, to Abigail’s first birthday party, I have had the honor of capturing every precious milestone centered around Abigail. This mom and me session showcased the unbreakable bond between a mama and her baby. It also proved just how fast their first year of life flies by. Ashlyn chose a gorgeous green, silk dress from The JKP Client Closet which exhibited her beautiful features!
Ashlyn & Abigail
Well, yes I do and I am so glad you asked! The JKP Motherhood Membership Experience is PERFECT for you if you plan on booking a maternity, newborn, and milestone session experience. I have created 4 memberships that meet every budget. This is the best way to ensure you do not miss a moment or milestone during the first year of your baby’s life. The best part? Choosing a membership versus booking multiple individual sessions saves you MONEY!
Do you have a “bump to baby” collection?
Your maternity session can take place outdoors at a location of your choosing or inside The JKP Studio. The majority of my mamas choose to have their maternity session outside. I always encourage dad and your other little ones to be a part of your maternity session as well!
Where do you do maternity sessions?
I love doing my lifestyle newborn sessions in the studio! It is filled with the most gorgeous natural light and I have all the wraps and swaddles needed for baby. I also have a full size bed set up so that we can create an intimate and natural environment that mimics your home. You do not have to worry about cleaning up your bedroom or house to make sure it is ready for pictures. I am more than willing to come to your home as well!
Where do you do newborn sessions?
Ideally, 7-12 days old is the perfect time for your babe’s newborn session. You are one to two weeks postpartum, allowing your body to heal. Baby has also adjusted some to their new life outside of your womb. This is also when baby is still sleeping the majority of the day!
How old should my newborn be for their newborn session?
The best time to book your newborn session is in the first or second trimester. Once you tell me your due date, I will write you down for that month. I do a limited number of newborns a month to ensure I can give my absolute best to your newest addition.
When should I book my newborn session?
The best time to document that growing belly of yours is around 34 weeks (give or take). At this point, you should be showing a little more, but you aren’t uncomfortable just yet! It is best to book as far out as possible because I only do a select number of sessions a month!

After meeting Josie, it seemed as though we had been friends forever. After experiencing the windiest day of my life and still getting back AMAZING photos, I knew I wanted to use her again. I asked her to shoot my fresh 48. Josie made everything about that day great. We used her again for our newborns and loved them! She was extremely patient when we had to pause for me to nurse and understanding when baby girl wasn’t the most cooperative. Even in all of that, she captured the sweetest pictures of our growing family! Josie is now our forever photographer and one of my closest friends.
