Capturing the Glow of Expectancy and the Wonder of New Life
The journey to parenthood is one of the most magical experiences in life. From the beautiful anticipation of pregnancy to the precious first few weeks with your new baby, every moment is fleeting and deserves to be remembered. I specialise in creating timeless, heartfelt portraits that tell the story of your growing family. My maternity sessions celebrate your beautiful bump and the unique glow of expectancy, while my newborn photoshoots capture the tiny details and overwhelming love that surrounds your new arrival.

A Note on Timing: The ideal time for a maternity shoot is between 28 and 36 weeks, when your bump is beautifully defined, and you still feel comfortable.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to book my sessions? It's best to book both your maternity and newborn sessions well in advance, usually during your second trimester, to ensure availability. The best time for newborn poses is within the first 11 days after birth. We will pencil in a date based on your due date and adjust it once your baby arrives, we can be flexible, but booking during your pregnancy is highly recommended.
What should I wear for my maternity session? I recommend wearing something that you feel comfortable and beautiful in. Solid, form-fitting colours are great for showing off your bump, while long, flowing dresses can create a soft, elegant look. I'm happy to offer more personalised advice before your session.
Are sibling and family photos included in newborn sessions? Yes, family and sibling photos are a key part of The Newborn & Family Session. If you book The Newborn Session, the focus will be solely on your baby.
How long does a newborn session last? Newborn sessions can take anywhere between one to two hours. We work entirely at your baby's pace, allowing plenty of time for feeding, changing, and cuddling to ensure your baby is happy and settled.
Where do the sessions take place? Maternity sessions can be in-studio or at an outdoor location. Newborn sessions can take place in the comfort of your own home.
