What to Know Before Booking Your Maternity or Newborn Photographer | Jennifer Ubinas Photography

What I Wish I Knew Before Booking My Maternity and Newborn Photographer in South Florida

Let me guess—you’ve spent hours scrolling through Instagram and Pinterest searching for the perfect maternity or newborn photographer in South Florida. The photos are beautiful, but no one tells you what it actually feels like to book and go through the process as a new mom.

As a professional photographer and a mom myself, I’ve met countless families from Coral Springs, Boca Raton, Coconut Creek, Parkland, and beyond who wish they’d known a few things before booking their session. So I’m sharing the truth behind the experience, the planning, and the magic that unfolds when you choose the right photographer.

1. Not All Photographers Specialize in Newborn & Maternity Photography

Newborn and maternity photography require a unique skill set—not just a nice camera. A safe, successful newborn session means understanding infant physiology, proper wrapping techniques, and knowing how to read a baby’s cues.

Maternity photography, on the other hand, is about posing your body to flatter your growing bump, choosing the right lighting, and helping you feel confident at a time you might not always feel like yourself.

That’s why so many families across Broward County—from Fort Lauderdale to Deerfield Beach—book with Jennifer Ubinas Photography.

2. The Best Photographers Book Out Weeks (Even Months) in Advance

If you're waiting until your baby arrives to start looking for a photographer, you might already be behind. Many of our newborn clients in Pompano Beach, Plantation, and Weston book their due date during their second trimester.

The same goes for maternity photography. If you want those iconic, glowing images taken between 28 and 34 weeks, your photographer should already be booked and planning your session.

Hot tip: Reach out early—especially if you're in Parkland, Coral Springs, Boca Raton, or Delray Beach.

3. Not Every Studio Provides the Wardrobe, Props, or Full-Service Experience

Do you want to shop for gowns, baby wraps, and backdrops while you're 7 months pregnant or postpartum? Didn’t think so.

That’s why Jennifer Ubinas Photography is known for our full-service experience. We provide:

✨ Couture maternity gowns✨ Newborn wraps, headbands, and props✨ Cake smash outfits, custom themes, and cakes✨ Style guides and prep checklists

Our clients from Hollywood, Sunrise, and Margate always say how much they appreciated not having to worry about a thing.

4. Editing Styles Matter—You’ll See These Photos for the Rest of Your Life

Your baby will never be this small again. Your pregnancy glow, no matter how you feel right now, is powerful and beautiful. You want timeless, clean editing that still looks amazing 10, 20, or even 50 years from now.

Some editing styles come and go. But at Jennifer Ubinas Photography, we focus on elevated, timeless tones that make your images feel like art.

We’ve become a top choice for moms in South Florida who want organic, neutral, yet bold and emotional imagesthey can pass down for generations.

5. The Right Photographer Makes You Feel Seen, Not Just Photographed

This is a big one. Your maternity session should make you feel gorgeous, even if you're swollen and tired. Your newborn session should feel calm and supportive, not rushed or awkward. Your cake smash session should be stress-free and fun.

That’s our promise at Jennifer Ubinas Photography. From the first email to the final gallery, we’re with you every step of the way.

Our studio is a judgment-free zone for moms. Whether you're camera-shy or high glam, you're welcome here.
