What Sets Your Maternity + Newborn Experience Apart?

At Courtney Ranck-Copher Photography, these sessions are more than portraits—they're a deeply personal experience. We take care of every detail so you can be fully present for this once-in-a-lifetime season.

.01

Style & Concept Concierge Consultation

We begin with a relaxed style and concept consultation to design a session that reflects your family’s unique story and our clean, modern aesthetic. You’ll have access to our curated client closet for moms and a selection of wraps, headbands, and hats for your baby. Before your session, we’ll send a thoughtful prep guide to help everything go smoothly. On the day of your session, all you need to do is show up and love on your baby.

Professional Beauty Experience

Because dry shampoo can only take you so far.
Our go-to hair and makeup artist will give you that fresh, natural glow (without the panic of doing it yourself in the minivan mirror). This is your chance to feel pampered, look amazing, whether you’re glowing with pregnancy or embracing your new role as a mom. This is your moment to pause, feel radiant, and step into the session confident, relaxed, and deeply connected to yourself and your baby.

A Session All About You and Your Baby

No rushing. No stress. Just honoring this once-in-a-lifetime season.
I only take a limited number of maternity and newborn clients each month to ensure you receive the time, care, and attention you deserve—without feeling hurried or distracted.

We work around your baby’s actual birthday, not just the due date, so your session fits perfectly with your family’s unique timing. This day is yours to soak in every moment, allowing us to create beautiful, unhurried images that you’ll treasure forever.

Thoughtful Care Of your Baby's Comfort and Safety

Your baby’s delicate skin and well-being are always my top priority. That’s why I use only fragrance-free detergents on all wraps, hats, and linens. The studio is thoughtfully kept at a cozy, comfortable temperature to ensure your little one feels calm and snug throughout the session.

As a certified newborn safety professional, I follow strict hygiene protocols, including using hospital-grade hand sanitizer before, during, and after your session—so you can relax knowing your baby is in expert,

Hello and welcome! I’m so excited to meet you!

I'm Courtney—your photographer, your guide, and a mama’s biggest cheerleader.

I'll be by your side through every step—helping you plan outfits that feel like you, creating a calm and supportive space for your session, and maybe even tearing up when we reveal your final gallery.

This season of motherhood—whether you're still waiting or holding your baby in your arms—is beautiful, powerful, and worth remembering. I can't wait to help you preserve it with photographs as honest and meaningful as the love you already feel.

XO, Courtney

FAQs

When should I book my session?: We recommend booking your maternity session between 28–34 weeks, when your belly is beautifully round but you're still feeling comfortable enough to move with ease. For newborn sessions, it's best to reserve your spot while you're still pregnant—we’ll pencil in your due date and adjust as needed once your baby arrives. This allows us to photograph your newborn within the first two weeks of life, when they’re still curled, sleepy, and oh-so-new.

Only a limited number of sessions are available each month to ensure the highest level of service and flexibility, so early booking is encouraged.
What types of payment do you accept?: I accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, and good old-fashioned cash. Your session fee is due at the time of booking, and any artwork or product payments are due at your ordering appointment.
What should I wear for my session?: That’s where I come in. During your style and concept consultation, we’ll talk through your personal style, your home’s aesthetic, and how you want your images to feel. I’ll help you choose colors and silhouettes that photograph beautifully and feel true to you.

You’ll also have access to my curated client closet—a thoughtful collection of soft, timeless pieces for mothers. Everything is chosen to flatter a growing belly or newly postpartum body, so you can feel confident, comfortable, and radiant.

For your baby, I provide simple, beautiful wraps, headbands, and hats that keep the focus on their perfect newness. All you have to do is show up and love on your baby—we’ll take care of the rest.
Is professional hair and makeup included? What if I prefer to do my own?: Yes—professional hair and makeup is included for maternity sessions and is a wonderful way to begin your session feeling pampered, confident, and radiant. Our trusted artist specializes in natural, polished looks that enhance your beauty while still feeling true to you.

If you prefer to do your own hair and makeup, that’s completely fine. Just know that the session fee remains the same, as the overall experience and time dedicated to your session doesn’t change. Either way, we’ll provide guidance to help you feel your absolute best in front of the camera.
What’s included in the session fee?: Your session fee includes much more than time in front of the camera—it’s the beginning of a full-service, personalized experience. It covers your style and concept consultation, access to our curated client wardrobe, professional hair and makeup for maternity sessions, and expert guidance throughout.

You’ll also receive a print credit to use toward custom artwork, allowing you to begin building the heirloom pieces your family will treasure. From first inquiry to final installation, we’re here to make the entire process seamless, meaningful, and beautifully tailored to you.
