A beautiful way to honour your journey into motherhood.


Pregnancy is such a fleeting season. It can feel long in the moment, but looking back, it goes by in a blur. These sessions are a chance to slow down and soak it all in. To celebrate your bump, your changing body, and the beautiful journey into motherhood.

What to expect


Maternity sessions are calm, gentle, and full of connection. We’ll focus on the love you already have for your baby, and the excitement of what’s to come. Sessions run for around 1 hour and can take place in your home or outdoors at sunset. Immediate family included.


You don’t need to worry about what to wear or how to pose. I’ll guide you every step of the way so you feel comfortable and confident, with space to just be yourself.


The best time to book is when you're in your second trimester and the best time to have your session is around 28 to 34 weeks pregnant, when your bump is beautifully round and you're still feeling comfortable.

 

Sounds perfect, how do I book?

Frequently Asked Questions

 

How do I book?

So you are interested in booking a session? That's great! To get the ball rolling, head to the Contact page in the menu and fill out the enquiry form. Please feel free to include as many questions as you like. I will then be in contact with you to go over the details of your session and send you some more information for the day.

What comes after booking?

Before our session you will receive a short questionnaire for me to get to know you and your family a little better. We will discuss outfits, locations, time and any other preferences you have, and any questions will be answered so you can go into the experience relaxed and prepared.

What should we wear?

Wear whatever you feel most comfortable in! Neutral, earthy tones with movement and texture are always great. For ladies, I have a selection of dresses you are welcome to use from the client closet. Check out my blog page for more information.

What time will our session be?

Outdoor shoots take place during the "golden hour" which is the hour before sunset. This is when the sun is in just the right spot to give you those dreamy golden colours.

How long does it take to receive the final edited photos?

The editing process typically takes 3-4 weeks, depending on the volume of images and the complexity of editing required. I prioritise quality and attention to detail to deliver exceptional images.

Important info

- Family sessions are limited to immediate family only. Please contact me for information on extended family shoots.

- In the event of rain for outdoor sessions, I will be in contact the day before to reschedule.
