LET'S WORK TOGETHER
Documenting you and your family during that of anticipation and wondering as you wait for your baby, then coming back to photograph you (and sneak some baby cuddles) as you to life with your tiny new family member is one of my very favourite things.
Newborn and Maternity Photography
If you hear maternity photography, are you automatically cringing and picturing long flowing dresses and cheesy poses? Thankfully, it doesn't have to be like that!

VIEW SOME maternity SESSIONS
I like to begin our session with a quick chat about what’s going to happen and a tour of your home. I know you want me to be there; at this point it’s really about the kids. They’ll show me their favourite toys, their bedroom, introduce me to their baby brother or sister.
I want you to relax. I don’t need you to tell the kids to smile or to look at the camera. Let me take charge; I can always ask for help if I need it. I’m there to capture you relaxing, laughing, loving on each other. The more you interact and forget about me, the better.
I’m going to take my shoes off, fiddle with your curtains, encourage kids jumping on the bed. I’ll provide direction as required but really, it’s about enabling situations for your family to be its incredible, natural self.
And we’re going to have fun.
Sure, light and bright houses make my work easier but I’ve yet to see a home without at least one space that will work.
Or if an in-home session doesn’t suit, let’s meet at the beach. Or a national park. Your favourite café. Man, the options are endless. Where does your family go to relax and play together? Where are you most ‘you’? If you have an idea, I want to hear about it. Not quite sure, then let’s chat.
Maternity sessions are ideally held when you are between 32 and 36 weeks pregnant.
And for newborn sessions, there is never a bad time to take photos of your baby!
Outdoor sessions are timed for sunrise or about an hour before sunset. With young daughters myself, I get that this isn’t always the easiest. It’s worth it.
In-home sessions are generally scheduled for 10am or 2pm, but there is so much more flexibility so let me know what time works for your family’s routine.
You want to be co-ordinated, but not matchy-matchy. Think neutrals and beautiful textures – linen, lace, denim, knits, silk – then add in some complimentary colour. Big logos are best avoided.
Mum’s outfit can be a good place to start; something you feel comfortable and lovely wearing.

Your lounge room, bedrooms and anywhere there is beautiful light is where I am most likely to shoot.
Rooms looking lived in and loved is awesome, but if you could spend just a couple minutes hiding clutter in a cupboard or junk room it can make a big difference. I promise not to look!
Shortly after your session I will share a sneak peek on Facebook.
You will receive an email with a link to your online gallery within three weeks. This is where you select your photos to download and can look at the gorgeous printing options available.
Wonderful!
I do book ahead, so ideally you would contact me before your baby is born. I'll pencil in your due date and leave room in my calendar.
I will email through a questionnaire to obtain the necessary details and learn more about what makes your family wonderfully you.
There will also be a contract, confirming some simple expectations of each other, and invoice attached. A 50% deposit is required at the time of booking and can be paid via direct debit or Paypal.
Then when your little one arrives, you simply let me know so we can confirm a session date and time.
Here's how to get in touch with me.

No worries, we’ll reschedule. Same if I’m sick; I’m not going to share my germs.
Oh, and I’m up to date on my immunisations.
