The Journey From Belly to Baby – Why Murfreesboro Families Choose Kelly Saxon Photography

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Journey

Pregnancy is more than just nine months—it’s the start of a brand-new chapter for your family. At Kelly Saxon Photography, we believe in celebrating every part of that journey, from your glowing baby bump to the precious days after your little one arrives. Based just outside of Murfreesboro, TN, our studio is known for turning life’s sweetest milestones into timeless art.

What Sets Us Apart From Other Photographers in Middle Tennessee?

While many photographers can take pretty pictures, we go deeper:

  • Storytelling over snapshots: We design each session with your family’s unique journey in mind.

  • A safe, stress-free experience: Kelly is trained in newborn safety, so your baby is always in gentle, experienced hands.

  • Tailored to your style: From soft, neutral tones to vibrant pops of color, we customize your session to reflect your personality.

  • A fully stocked studio: Located in Christiana, TN, our space includes curated gowns, newborn wraps, and thoughtful props so you don’t have to bring a thing.

Maternity Sessions That Honor Your Glow

Every mom-to-be deserves to feel beautiful and confident. Our maternity photography sessions are a chance to slow down and soak up the excitement before your baby arrives. We work with you to choose meaningful locations around Murfreesboro and Rutherford County or invite you to the comfort of our private studio.

Newborn Photography That Preserves Every Tiny Detail

The newborn stage changes in the blink of an eye. Within weeks, those sweet curled-up poses will be a distant memory—which is why we recommend scheduling your session during the first two weeks of life.

Each newborn photography session is baby-led, ensuring your little one stays comfortable. We specialize in capturing their tiniest features—the wispy hair, the button nose, the curled toes—so you can remember them exactly as they were.

📅 When Should You Book Maternity and Newborn Photos?

This is one of the most common questions we get! Here’s our advice:

  • Maternity Sessions: Book between 28-34 weeks of pregnancy. This is when your bump is beautifully round, but you’re still comfortable.

  • Newborn Sessions: Reserve your spot before your baby arrives, ideally in your second trimester. We’ll pencil in your due date and adjust if baby comes early or late.

  • Milestone Sessions: Plan around 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. Many parents love bundling these together with our “Belly to Baby” package.

Booking early ensures you get a session time that works best for your family.

Don’t Forget Those First-Year Milestones

Your baby’s first year will fly by! Our milestone sessions and cake smash photoshoots are a fun way to document their personality as it blossoms. Many families book our popular “Belly to Baby” package to cover maternity, newborn, and milestone portraits all in one collection.

Serving Families Across Middle Tennessee

We’re proud to photograph families from Murfreesboro, Smyrna, Franklin, Brentwood, and all of Rutherford County, TN. Because we only book a limited number of sessions each month, early booking ensures your spot is reserved—especially for newborns.
