hey mama
There’s no greater joy than welcoming a new baby. Whether it’s your first child or your fourth, those last few weeks pre-arrival are precious.
A maternity photography session is an incredible opportunity to celebrate your family as you are now and capture the excitement and anticipation that adding to your family brings.
My relaxed and candid style of lifestyle maternity photography allows for a combination of posed and candid shots. Stunning outdoor locations encourage natural interaction and play, which means you’ll have a beautiful album of images to look back on.
who loves capturing…
love, life & new arrivals
Each family has a story and with the arrival of a child, we write a new chapter of our lives.
The excitement of a couple embarking on parenthood. The soft kiss on your belly of a sibling already in love. Capture it. Hold on to it. Delight in the bliss of the present in the same way you dream of what is to come.
Savour the moment with a maternity photography session.

It’s photo time! Come ready for a relaxed & fun session where being yourself is encouraged!
During the planning stage we’ll select a location that suits your look. As a maternity photographer who loves the outdoors, my preferred locations all have plenty of space to interact, move and play.
On the day I’ll take time to chat to you before we get into the session. This gives you and any children a little time to warm up to me.
Once we get started I’ll gently prompt you if needed, or simply let you interact naturally. If you have older children there’s plenty of time for short breaks. I’ll focus on taking beautiful pregnancy photos of you and couples shots as we allow the kids a break from being in front of the camera.
Best of all as well as beautiful photos, you’re working with a mum of two, who knows how to get gorgeous photos of your bump and make you look like the glowing mama to be that you are.

Once edited, I’ll send a link to your online gallery. You can download your images in high and low resolution. You have 14 days to download your images before your gallery closes.
Every package includes a set number of images that are included in the price. If you’d like to purchase additional images, they’re available for $25 each, or you can upgrade your package to include more images or the entire gallery.
Officially my turn around time for your initial gallery is two weeks. Generally I’m as excited to view your images as you are, so usually it’s much faster than this.
When you book you will receive a comprehensive preparation guide that will help you to get ready for your session. This includes a what to wear guide with colour suggestions and outfit ideas.
Generally between 32 and 36 weeks is the ideal time for a maternity photoshoot. By this stage you should have a lovely round belly.
Of course if you’re carrying multiples or have a complex pregnancy, any stage works. Please let me know if you have any limitations or special requirements so we can make your maternity photo shoot magical.
