Maternity & Motherhood
Pregnancy and motherhood are easily one of the most life-changing events that could happen to a woman. And it is truly one of the most beautiful.
Capturing the beauty, strength, and joy of this time through the art of photography is something I am so passionate about and I can't wait to photograph you.
The Process
When to Book
The best time to book your maternity session is between 29 and 35 weeks. You will be fairly mobile at this time and have a beautiful belly. However, if your schedule doesn't fit within this timeframe, let me know and we can work within your timeline. For motherhood sessions, anytime is a good time to book however, definitely think about what stage your baby is at. Are they a newborn? Can they hold their head up? Can they sit unassisted? The answers to these questions will determine the images we can get from our time together.
Beauty Portraits
Empowering You to See Your True Beauty
When was the last time you felt truly beautiful in a photograph? My beauty portrait sessions are thoughtfully designed to celebrate your unique beauty and help you feel empowered, confident, and radiant. Every woman deserves to have portraits of herself that she loves, and I’m here to make that a reality for you. Whether you’re looking for elegant, bold, or natural images, we’ll work together to create stunning portraits that reflect your personality and style.
Personalised Consultation
Creating the portraits you’ve always dreamed of starts with clear and open communication. After booking your session, we’ll have a personalised consultation to discuss every detail:
• Your vision: What type of look and feel do you want for your portraits?
• Posing preferences: We’ll explore flattering poses to help you feel confident and relaxed.
• Wardrobe: We’ll plan outfits that highlight your personality and enhance your beauty.
• Lighting and style: From soft, natural light to dramatic studio setups, we’ll tailor the session to your preferences.
• Location: Choose between a cozy, intimate studio session or a stunning outdoor backdrop to complement your style.
This consultation ensures that every aspect of your session is customised to create portraits you’ll cherish forever.
Wardrobe Options to Suit Your Style
Your wardrobe plays a significant role in your portraits, and I’m here to help you select the perfect pieces. You’ll have access to my carefully curated client wardrobe, featuring elegant dresses, flowing fabrics, and stylish jackets that are perfect for beauty portraits. Feel free to bring your own clothing as well—jackets, dresses, robes, bodysuits, and even bold statement jewellery can add a personal touch to your photos. I recommend bringing a variety of options so we can experiment with different looks during your session.
Hair & Makeup: Elevating Your Experience
Your beauty session is the perfect opportunity to feel pampered and camera-ready. If you enjoy doing your own hair and makeup, take this time to relax and prepare for your big moment. Alternatively, you can hire a professional hair and makeup artist to create a flawless, polished look that enhances your natural features. A professional touch can elevate your portraits and give you that extra boost of confidence.
Your Photo Shoot: A Celebration of You
The day of your photo shoot is all about celebrating YOU. I want you to feel calm, relaxed, and empowered from start to finish. I’ll guide you through each pose, offering gentle direction to ensure you look and feel your best in every shot. Together, we’ll create stunning, timeless portraits that showcase your beauty and strength.
Professional Editing & Photo Selection
After your session, I’ll professionally retouch and edit your photos with great care. My editing process focuses on enhancing your natural beauty while keeping the results authentic and realistic. I believe in showing you at your best, without making you look like someone else. Once your images are ready, you’ll be invited to a private viewing session at the studio, where you can select your favourite portraits to purchase. There’s absolutely no pressure—I want you to walk away with images you truly love.
Preserve Your Portraits with Prints & Wall Art
Your beauty portraits deserve to be displayed and treasured. Two of my portrait collections include your selected images in both digital and printed formats, presented in a luxurious reveal box. I also offer custom-framed prints in various colours and layouts, perfect for displaying on your walls. Whether you choose a gallery wall or a single standout piece, your portraits will serve as a daily reminder of your confidence and beauty.
