Ever felt like you won't be up to doing newborn photos?

And honestly? Most mums feel that way before bubs arrives.

It can be so hard to know what to expect!

That's exactly why newborn sessions with me are designed to meet you where you are.

There is absolutely no pressure to have it all together

We are completely led by you and your baby x

They can cry, feed, cuddle and need you.

I'll come to your home with everything you need - outfits for mums, for bubs, for your toddlers.

And we will capture this season as authentically you x

I completely understand that the cost of getting photos can sometimes feel hars to justify.

When you are raising a family, there's always something more urgent to spend money on.

Birthday parties
New shoes
Groceries that somehow dissappear in two days.

Family photos can feel like something you will get to later.

But here's what I think

Photos don't feel urgent until the moment has passed.
Until thr baby curls are gone.
Until the gap toothed smile is filled in
Until your oldest suddenly looks more like a teenager than a child.

Then they become priceless.

Because these photos will be the ones your kids pull out one day when they want to remember what it all felt like.

And I never want money to be the reason you miss out on that.

Get in touch to organize a private payment plan that suits you and your family - so you can get these priceless photos 📸

Lets talk about showing skin for a maternity photoshoot ❤

Here's the truth - in your session, its your rules. You get to choose whatever you are comfortable with x

Pregnancy can feel beautiful one moment and incredibly vulnerable the next... especially when you’re stepping in front of a camera.

But I promise you, if you do choose to show a little skin - its not about having the perfect body... (what even is that anyway...?)

It’s about capturing this season exactly as you are xx

Growing, Powerful, Soft, Emotional and spectacularly beautiful in every way.

But remember - my job is never to make you feel exposed.

It’s to make you feel safe, confident and seen 🤍 whatever way you would like xx

Sometimes you meet people and you just click ✨️ this beautiful woman was one of them!

We met at the wild and rugged rock face, and she wore the raven black dress that fits so well with this this location xx

Honestly, this wasn't just about documenting a pregnancy...

It was documenting the beautiful moments of this season.....

The way she cuddles her big baby, the way her husband holds her hand and they way they all laugh together ❤️

Standing on the edge of something new, while celebrating the right now of the old x

Each season of life carries its own energy ✨️

It was an absolute honor to capture this one for them xx

I love all my photo sessions. Seriously I do.

But this one has to be one of the best.

I got to photograph one of the most beautiful couples I know - and have known for a very long time- at the beautiful Ocean Beach the other week.

A couples session. To celebrate them together. Their life and love - filling a bucket list of things after a cancer diagnosis that has left us all reeling....

These guys are seriously such incredible people, their strength and love for each other is something else. So during the shoot I naturally asked about their love story, living in those memories but also making more ❤️

Part of that story was their wedding, which they released monarch butterflies - and they brought some to our shoot too! Never before have I photographed butterflies like this ✨️🦋

We released them, and some flew away and hung around for so long afterwards just perching on a shoulder or hand before flying away.

Thank you for the privilege you two, loved making these memories with you ❤️✨️
