For maternity & newborn photographers

Tools for maternity, newborn and family photographers

Maternity, newborn and family sessions run on a different rhythm from weddings: many small bookings, a due date that moves, careful planning around feeds and naps, and parents who want to see their photos quickly and pick a handful for prints or an album.

The Photography Studio gives every family a project with the due date or session date, the package and deliverables, then helps you send clear session packages, collect the details that matter for a newborn shoot, plan the set, share a private gallery and design a baby milestone album.

How it works

Step by step, in one Photography Studio

  1. Step 1

    Publish session packages

    Studio or at-home sessions with duration, number of edited photos, prints, album and props, plus add-ons such as siblings or extra outfits.

    Photography Pricing & Package Maker
  2. Step 2

    Ask the right questions

    The newborn form asks for the baby’s name and date of birth, siblings or pets, props and themes, and feeding and nap times; the maternity form asks for the due date and outfits.

    Photography Booking & Client Forms
  3. Step 3

    Plan the set

    Reference boards with a colour palette, lighting and pose notes, wardrobe and props, and a shot list with must-have and nice-to-have shots.

    Photoshoot Moodboard & Shot List Maker
  4. Step 4

    Let parents choose

    A private, watermarked gallery where parents mark favourites and pick the photos included in their package.

    Photo Proofing & Client Selection
  5. Step 5

    Make the baby album

    Baby milestone, newborn or family albums with chapter pages — for example each month of the first year — at your print size.

What you get

Packages without guesswork

Any number of tiers, a “most popular” mark and a comparison table that only shows rows your packages use. No prices are suggested — they are yours.

Newborn-specific booking form

Baby’s details, siblings and pets, props, feeding and nap times, and your safety and payment terms.

Selection limits

Set how many photos a package includes; the gallery stops at that number and tells the client to unselect one first.

Soft, gentle templates

Newborn, maternity and family palettes and layouts, with your photos in place of the examples.

Milestone albums

Minimal, classic and storytelling layouts, square 10 × 10 or 12 × 12 pages and chapter pages for each milestone.

Social posts in every size

Mini-session announcements, offers and sneak peeks for Instagram posts and stories, Reels covers and Facebook.

Planning a calm newborn session

Good newborn sessions are planned around the baby, not the camera. Collect feeding and nap times in the booking form, plan your set-ups in order of the least handling on a moodboard and shot list, and keep must-have shots at the top so the session can end early if it needs to.

Photos are only placed and cropped in ZeoCanvas — nothing is retouched or altered automatically — so the edit stays yours.

Selling prints and albums after the session

Parents decide faster when they can look at the photos at home together. Share a private gallery the same week, set the selection limit to the number of photos in their package, and let them mark favourites for possible extras. Their choices are saved on our servers and appear in your project, ready for a contact sheet or a new album.

  • Watermarked previews only — originals stay private
  • Optional PIN and closing date
  • Selection report as CSV
  • Printable selection sheet with tick boxes and a signature line

Frequently asked questions

Can I offer mini sessions?

Yes. Create a package for them, and use the social media kit’s “Mini sessions” post type to announce dates.

Can parents pick photos on their phone?

Yes. The gallery is built for phones: tap to select or favourite, open a photo to comment, and send the selection when done.

Do you store body or baby measurements?

No. The forms ask only for what you need to plan the session, and project details stay private to your account.

Can I make a first-year album?

Yes. Add the photos in order and a chapter page for each month, then choose a square size and a minimal or classic layout.
