Maternity

A 1-hour session at an indoor or outdoor location of your choice, i.e. Beach, forest, gardens, your home etc. This can be a Solo Session focussed on the Beauty and the Bump! Meaning you as a mother and your incredible transforming body as your belly grows. Or you can choose to include your Partner and/or child/ren. Generally, a Maternity Session is best captured around the 35-week mark, in your last trimester. I have a few dresses available in my client wardrobe, otherwise I encourage you to bring your own style and flare into it.

Pro tip: Having well-co-ordinated neutral and natural colour tones, and plain textures work wonders on camera!

Birth

Capturing your unique Birth-Story is incredibly special and requires more communication and involvement than other sessions for obvious reasons. Usually, a meet and greet is necessary to allow you and I to build relationship foundation where we can talk about what you would like captured and gain a good understanding of how your baby's grand entrance can be beautifully documented. A Birth-Story Session is exactly that. My aim is to be quietly at work in the background capturing every meaningful and incredible moment that occurs during your Labour, the Birth event itself as Baby is welcomed earthside, and all those post-Birth firsts, such as cutting of the cord, Baby's first measurements, first skin to skins, first feeds and so forth.

Newborn

As a Mum of two, I noticed how incredibly special it is to have images of your precious Newborn in those first days and weeks. Your new baby is just the essence of pure perfection, with their own unique features, their tiny toes and little button nose. What isn't always on your mind though, is how fast their features change as they literally grow before your eyes. This is why I love to offer Newborn sessions either as a Fresh 48 Session - (first 2 days of life) or an In-Home Lifestyle Session in the first couple weeks. Here, I love to capture Mum and Baby, and (Family) naturally in the comfort of their own home. I come prepared with all the necessary soft, comfy wraps, blankets and cushions, along with some props to help create some gorgeous images of your wee one.

Family

Family Or Motherhood Sessions are all about having fun! Again, this is generally a 1-hour long session at a location of your choice. Preferably somewhere that is special to your Family and where you can have fun mucking around together whilst I click away around you capturing those candid smiles, laughs, shoulder rides, running races, cuddles and kisses. I offer gentle guidance for those who are a little shy in the beginning and we work together to ensure you are all feeling comfortable throughout the Session. There is no 'right way' to do a Session, my only hope is that you take the hour to really enjoy each other's company and be present in the moments along the way and not worry about me in the background. I am able to gauge the different characteristics in the Family, and I work to follow your lead, pulling out the best in each of your personalities. Thus, creating space for the most meaningful connections to be caught on camera!
