Why the Belly to Baby Collection Is the Best Gift You Can Give Yourself (and Your Future Self)

Why the Belly to Baby Collection Is the Best Gift You Can Give Yourself (and Your Future Self)

Let’s talk about something wildly underrated: celebrating the miracle of motherhood while you’re in it—and not just looking back at it through sleep-deprived, coffee-fueled hindsight. Enter the Belly to Baby Collection by Kelly Saxon Photography, located just outside Nashville, TN, in a cozy, clean, and perfectly curated private studio in Christiana, TN.

I know what you're thinking. "Sure, I’d love dreamy maternity and squishy newborn pictures... but is it really worth it?"

Friend. Yes. Yes, it is.

Not only is this collection a love letter to your motherhood journey, but it’s also an absolute no-brainer for getting the most out of your photography experience. Want to look radiant in a gown you didn’t have to buy? Want your newborn swaddled in the softest wrap while you sip coffee and try to remember what day it is? Want all of it to be stress-free, safe, and even kinda fun? Then keep reading, because I’m about to break it down.

Meet Kelly (That’s Me)

Hi! I'm Kelly Saxon, your multi-published maternity and newborn photographer here in Middle Tennessee. I’ve spent years perfecting my craft, investing in safety certifications (yes, I’m trained and certified in newborn posing), and building a space where families feel cared for, seen, and celebrated.

Oh—and I’m also a mom of three teenage girls. So if you think I don’t understand chaos, hormonal meltdowns, or the deep craving for one uninterrupted nap, think again. I see you, mama. I am you (except my kids sleep through the night now… most of the time).

With nearly 100 five-star reviews on Google, I’ve helped hundreds of families capture the sweetest moments before and after baby arrives. And the #1 thing I always recommend?

Book the Belly to Baby Collection.

So What Exactly Is the Belly to Baby Collection?

Think of it as the “all-inclusive resort” of maternity and newborn photography. You book it once, and you’re covered from bump to baby.

Here’s what you get:

  • A full maternity session, styled with access to our luxurious maternity client closet featuring gowns in every shade, size, and level of glam.

  • A newborn session, complete with access to my massive collection of handcrafted newborn props, wraps, outfits, and accessories.

  • A relaxed, fully guided experience with a professional who’s trained in newborn safety and posing.

  • A timeline that makes it easy to plan ahead (and feel like you've got one thing totally handled during pregnancy).

You’re not just buying photos. You’re investing in memories you’ll never regret capturing.

Why Combine the Sessions?

Because you blink, and suddenly the belly is gone and there's a baby in your arms—and you’re not sure what day it is or if you've eaten anything besides goldfish crackers and half a granola bar.

Capturing both stages ensures:

  • You’re glowing in your maternity photos (even if you don’t feel like it—I’ve got angles, lighting, and magic).

  • You remember the full story, from baby kicks to baby cheeks.

  • You don’t have to find two photographers, schedule two shoots, and juggle two planning sessions.

I handle it all. That’s right—you only have to befriend one coffee-loving, overachieving, camera-wielding mom of teens (hi again).

About That Maternity Client Closet… Yes, It’s Magical

Shopping for a gown you’ll wear once while trying to guess your size mid-pregnancy? Hard pass. That’s why the Belly to Baby Collection includes access to my maternity client closet—a curated selection of couture gowns, form-fitting dresses, and dreamy fabrics that make you feel like Beyoncé, but barefoot and pregnant.

No pressure. No shopping. No wondering if that Amazon dress will arrive on time (or look anything like the photos).

Newborn Props Galore (and You Don’t Have to Bring a Thing)

When I say my prop collection is next-level, I’m not exaggerating. I’ve got:

  • Soft, organic wraps in every neutral and pastel

  • Vintage-inspired headbands and bonnets

  • Tiny knit rompers and soft newborn outfits

  • Rustic crates, delicate baskets, and snuggle-worthy fluff

  • Themes? I’ve done dreamy florals, woodland magic, farmhouse vibes—you name it.

Best part? You don’t have to think about a thing. Just show up with your baby. I’ll handle the rest—posing, soothing, and capturing all those little details you’ll want to remember forever.

Oh, and yes—I’m trained and certified in newborn safety and posing, so you can relax knowing your tiny human is in gentle, capable, highly caffeinated hands.

The Studio Vibe? Clean, Calm, and Totally Instagrammable

Located just outside Nashville, TN, our private studio in Christiana, TN is designed to feel like a peaceful retreat from the world.

You’ll find:

  • Cozy seating (because yes, you will get to sit down!)

  • Soft natural light

  • Sanitized everything (I’ve got that “mom of three” cleanliness standard)

  • Snacks, drinks, and soothing tunes

  • A safe, relaxing space for feeding, changing, and maybe even catching your breath

We’re not here to rush you or stress you. We’re here to celebrate you, from bump to baby—and make sure you walk away with art that tugs at your heartstrings every single time you see it.

But… Is It Worth It?

Let’s be real. Pregnancy is no joke. Your body is doing Olympic-level work, and sometimes it feels like the world forgets to celebrate that. And once baby arrives? Your heart explodes, your sleep disappears, and everything changes.

These are the moments you’ll want to bottle up. This is the stage you’ll wish you could revisit. And the Belly to Baby Collection makes sure you can.

You’re not just investing in images—you’re investing in:

  • Proof that you were radiant during pregnancy (even if you felt like a bloated burrito)

  • The tiniest, sweetest details of your newborn’s first days

  • A beautiful start to your baby’s story

Real Talk from a Photographer (and Mom)

As a Murfreesboro TN maternity and newborn photographer, and more importantly, a mom of three girls, I get it.

I’ve been the woman crying in the Target parking lot because my maternity jeans didn’t fit.

I’ve been the mom swaying with a fussy newborn at 3am, wondering if I’m doing it right.

I’ve also been the woman digging through old photos, wishing I had captured more—the belly, the baby, the messy magic of those early days.

So when I say the Belly to Baby Collection is a gift to yourself, I mean it. You deserve this. Your baby deserves this. And your future self will thank you a million times over.

Don’t Just Take My Word for It…

With almost 100 glowing 5-star reviews on Google, the moms (and dads) of Middle Tennessee are talking. Here’s what a few of them had to say:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
