Maternity Sessions
A time to pause and reflect on your journey to motherhood
Artful memories of you in full bloom.
The wait might feel endless, but this time with your precious growing baby is unrepeatable
This time is as much about you as it is about your baby.
I understand how challenging pregnancy can be—sickness, discomfort, and changes to your body can make it hard to fully enjoy these days. I’ve been there. But once your baby arrives and your bump disappears, you may find yourself missing it, realising just how incredible your body was in growing new life. That’s why capturing these moments matters—you’ll never regret taking the time to document this journey.
Maternity sessions tend to be slow, peaceful, and deeply connected, offering a moment to pause the rush of life, all the planning, and preparation, and take a moment just for yourself. Think of it as self-care, but in the best possible way—an opportunity to reflect on the incredible changes happening to your body and your life.
For some, it’s a time for calm and quiet; for others, it might be filled with fun and lots of movement. I shape each session to suit your personality and what feels right for you.
These sessions can be solo or shared with your partner, children, or even pets. Many mothers tell me how calming and beautiful the experience is. It’s not just about photos—it’s about being present and celebrating this chapter of your life. And instead of selfies or quick snaps from your partner, you’ll leave with flattering, heartfelt images that capture you as you truly are.
No beige gowns, no pretending to be something you’re not. This is your journey, and we’ll capture it in a way that feels natural and authentic to you.

There are so many reasons to love an in-home maternity shoot.
Private, intimate and unique to your motherhood story. No waking up before sunrise or worrying about the weather or the time of year. I come into your unique nesting space and capture the meaningful details of your journey in motherhood in between easy wardrobe changes, interesting light and space - all to good tunes and a cup of tea.
However, if the outdoors speaks to you, I am here for it. Whether you prefer the serenity of the bush or the beauty of the beach at sunset, nature adds its own layer of magic to this special time. Pick a familiar or sentimental locations, or let’s plan something special just for you.
Heartfelt. Meaningful. Natural.
With a hint of fine art.
Maternity Session FAQ’s
-
The ideal time for a maternity shoot is between 28 to 36 weeks. This is when your baby bump is beautifully rounded, but you're still comfortable moving around. I do, of course, photograph bumps all the way until birth, but it's important to keep in mind that early arrivals do happen!
-
After your booking has been secured, I will send you my Pre-Shoot guide to read through, along with a detailed questionnaire. From there, we’ll chat more about your vision, location preferences, and any specific ideas you have. Together, we'll craft a session that feels uniquely yours and comfortable.
-
An in-home maternity shoot is perfect for those who want a more intimate and relaxed experience. This suits couples who do not feel comfortable in public locations and love the comfort of their home.
-
I believe there are opportunities everywhere, and magic can be created in the most unexpected corners of your home. I’m more than happy to discuss this with you and guide you towards an alternative location if your home truly isn't suitable (although I’ve yet to encounter such a situation!).
-
Partners, children, and even pets are welcome to join in on the fun. It's all about capturing your family's joy during this special time.
-
Yes! The natural light and beautiful landscapes around the Northern Beaches make for stunning backdrops for maternity photoshoots.
-
Absolutely, I am here to help guide every step of the way. During the planning process I discover what is important to you, and if you on the fence about hosting your session in your home, I am more than happy to review photos and videos of your home to give you the confidence to move forward, or, suggest some outdoor locations on the Northern Beaches.
When you aren't sure of a location when booking, I suggest "Around the Grounds" as the base package, and then if the session type changes, there is no issue changing the session type and minor fee change.
-
I believe in capturing natural beauty. I have a very light editing touch and avoid heavy editing to ensure your images look authentic and true to life.
-
I totally get it! I’ll guide you through the session with gentle prompts and encouragement. My goal is to make you feel at ease and have fun during our time together.
-
I primarily serve the Northern Beaches of Sydney and North Shore, but I do travel further afield ( a small travel applies). Let’s chat about your location, and we can make it work!
-
Wear what makes you feel good and confident. I usually suggest 2-3 different looks within a maternity photoshoot, depending on the time of year and whether we are outdoors or at home. This could be something comfortable and timeless. Flowy dresses, neutral tones, or outfits that make you feel confident and beautiful are always a great choice.
