Love before breath
Maternity Sessions
Congratulations if you are expecting a baby. Pregnancy is such a special time in life and it is sacred and celebrated in most cultures. Whether you are about to become a parent for the first time or you are welcoming a new sibling into the family, it is always a moment of transformation, a clear before and after for everyone involved. Maternity photographs are a beautiful way to honour this moment, to remember what life looked like before everything changes. It is a way to pause, honour the present, and create a memory that will be cherished long after the baby arrives.
During my maternity sessions, the mother to be is at the centre of the attention. These sessions are about capturing the excitement of the family, the tenderness that surrounds this growing bump, and of course the bump itself in all its unique forms and shapes.
I love seeing confident women who are proud of their bodies and who embrace this extraordinary stage of life. Photographing them in natural surroundings feels especially meaningful, because pregnancy itself is a miracle of nature. These sessions are all about celebrating the transition into motherhood and the beauty of anticipation.
The best time to take your maternity photographs is between twenty eight and thirty four weeks of pregnancy. At this stage your bump is beautifully full, yet you are still comfortable enough to move around during the session. I have a selection of dresses in my client wardrobe that offer lovely movement and flow, allowing you to highlight your bump in an elegant and effortless way.

Are you the right photographer for me?
Every photographer is different, and it is important that you feel connected to the style of the person you choose. Take time to look through my gallery and see if the colours, the settings, and the overall atmosphere reflect what you imagine for your own photographs. What brings me the greatest joy is delivering a gallery where families tell me they cannot choose a favourite because every image feels true to who they are.
My work is natural, relaxed, and centred around genuine connection. I love photographing families in open spaces, surrounded by nature, where children can move freely and parents can simply enjoy being together. If you are hoping for high heels, tight dresses, and a city backdrop, then my style may not be the right fit for you. If you are drawn to soft light, flowing dresses, bare feet in the grass, and images that feel warm, honest, and full of emotion, then we will be a wonderful match.
