bump to baby
 
a story worth preserving
 
 
The Bump to Baby offering was thoughtfully created for families who want to document every precious season of welcoming their little one.
From the anticipation of pregnancy to the raw emotion of those first hours, and the tender newborn days that follow, these are the moments that so quickly become treasured memories. There is something so special about looking back and seeing where it all began. Not just how your baby changed and grew, but how your family did too.
Each session has been carefully designed to complement the next, creating a timeless collection of images that tell the story of your beautiful little baby's very first chapter and give you something to hold onto for years to come, long after this precious chapter has passed.
Before you know it, tiny fingers will grow, sleepy cuddles will become running footsteps, and these photographs will be your way back to that feeling of their beginning.

The Details
Session
 
These sessions are designed to be a meaningful experience for you and your whole family. Your partner and children are warmly welcomed, as they are an important part of the story you are creating together.
You’ll receive a detailed session planner, questionnaire, and preparation guide for each session type to help you feel confident, relaxed, and fully prepared as we capture each chapter of your journey.
 
Location
 
For your maternity session, you’ll receive my Location Guide featuring a collection of beautiful Marlborough locations, each thoughtfully chosen to create a setting that feels timeless and natural.
Your Fresh 48 session is captured where baby's first moments unfold, either in the comfort of your home or at Wairau Hospital, depending on your birth and recovery.
Your newborn session can take place wherever you feel most at ease, whether that’s in the warmth of your own home, within my studio space, or outdoors at one of the locations featured in my guide.
 
Client Wardrobe
 
Enjoy complimentary access to my thoughtfully curated client wardrobe, featuring a collection of beautiful, bump and breastfeeding-friendly pieces chosen to photograph beautifully. You’re welcome to select different looks to use throughout your sessions, and if you’d like to try pieces on beforehand, a wardrobe try on at the studio can be arranged.

We did the Bump to Baby package and couldn't be happier! As a couple who aren't normally a fan of being in front of a camera, we loved our sessions. Sarah made us feel super relaxed and comfortable, guiding us along the way to ensure we got some absolutely stunning photos that we will treasure for years to come. Looking forward to having family photos done by Sarah in the future!
TESTIMONIALS
Madison H.
Sarah is such a gem!
We had our maternity photography / family photography captured by Sarah in Blenheim. We are not from Blenheim, but after talking with Sarah during booking she shared a range of locations with me that I knew would fit what we were loooking for. Sarah has a beautiful range of maternity dresses that made me feel so Devine and feminine. Sarah made my whole family feel comfortable enough to have fun during the session. (No easy battle with 2 young kids) our photos are beyond expectations, Sarah captured the kids personalities perfectly. If you’re in Blenheim and looking for a family photographer I can not recommend Sarah from augustluxe photography enough. We will be telling all our friends and family! Thank you Sarah.

We honestly couldn’t be more grateful for the beautiful experience and the breathtaking images Sarah captured of our newborn. From the moment we arrived, you made us feel so calm, comfortable, and cared for which means everything as new parents. Your patience, gentleness, and genuine love for what you do shines through in every single photo. The images themselves are beyond anything we could have imagined. You captured not just how our baby looks, but the tiny details, the softness, the emotion, and the love we feel in this season of our lives. These photos are memories we will treasure forever, and we feel so lucky to have them. Thank you for pouring so much heart into your work and for giving us such precious keepsakes of such a fleeting, special time. Your talent is truly incredible, and we cannot recommend you highly enough. So much love and appreciation
"We’ve had the privilege of Sarah capturing our family as it’s grown over the last 3 years. From family shoots with our first born to maternity, fresh 48 and newborn with our second child. Sarah goes above and beyond and her baby whispering magical ways alleviates all your anxieties as you walk into her space. She is always so respectful of our family and goes with flow depending on how the kids are feeling on the day. We adore our images of memories to cherish a life time. Priceless keepsakes. Book the shoot, you won’t regret it. Thanks Sarah!"

You only experience this chapter with your baby once. These moments are so fleeting, and I promise you’ll never regret choosing to preserve them.
If you’re ready to book, I’d love to hear from you and start planning these beautiful sessions together.
