The Portrait Experience: Maternity, Baby, Women
However you want to tell your story, we will begin with the end in mind.
Tell us your vision for your beautiful photographs and we’ll make sure you are elated with the result. Cuddling siblings with all that uncertainty and anticipation caught in big brother or big sister’s eyes, baby’s tiny details, how small they look in your arms. Or your contemporary portrait, capturing that smile that comes with years of living and being well-loved. An experience to unashamedly celebrate all that is you.
From careful planning and creative design, to a relaxed enjoyable photo session where we provide it all, to the delivery of your beautiful unique art products ready for display - you can be confident that our creativity, skill, and ease will have you loving every minute of the process and absolutely loving your printed photographs.
Choose from 5, 10, 15, or 20 digital file image collection packages and some of the most swoon worthy products that you’ll find anywhere in the world. Craftsmanship and design that reflects the hands that made them, and your style and good taste.
What To Expect
We understand that being photographed can be intimidating, and we also know that this time of your life deserves love and attention. Maybe you haven’t even thought about organising bump and baby photographs yet … That’s why, as with all our session types, we guide you through from start to finish. From planning and preparing your session, guiding you to your best angles and light, helping you choose your favourites, to having your photographs displayed beautifully after your session. We’re here to not only take any stress out of it, but to promise you that you’ll love the whole process and end up with something incredible to show for it!
The same goes for all of our portrait sessions - you will feel relaxed, comfortable, and above all else you will absolutely love being photographed. Forget about being camera-shy, I’ve got you.
Milk Bath Sessions are a speciality and loved by my maternity and non-pregnant clients alike. No need for a baby belly to have a beautiful and sublime milk bath session. There really is something about them that relaxes even the most self-conscious of us. Something introspective about the expression of each woman I’ve photographed in a milk bath session. You are fully clothed or draped in beautiful fabric, covered in fresh flowers, shaped by deep milky water. And nobody ever wants to get out of the bath!
And you can be assured that you and your baby’s comfort and safety are our biggest priority. We love artfully yet minimally styled images and have gorgeous props, wraps, outfits and gowns for both baby and mum. But I’m sorry if you’re looking for babies photographed in buckets, I may not be the photographer for you. Babies to me are just perfect without needing to be overly or unnaturally posed. We aim to capture pure beauty and connection and every detail you want to commit to memory. Babies are mainly photographed on a comfy posing beanbag but all positions, though carefully posed to light your baby’s features just beautifully, are natural and comfortable. I prefer capturing the beauty of the newborn, styled with knits, and wraps, and textures and elements from nature such as flowers.
For your Wise Woman Muse session you can choose a studio, lifestyle, or muse milk bath session with all wardrobe, styling, accessories, flowers provided as part of your session.
We will never risk yours or your baby’s comfort to get a shot. And baby is our session director! Whatever they say on the day, goes! Needing extra feeds or cuddles? No problem. You’re our only session of the day no matter what session type you’re experiencing. We go with the flow and are led by how baby feels on the day. Whether they are asleep or awake the whole session, we will be able to capture beautiful images of your little one. If due to illness or a very unsettled little one, we can always decide to reschedule if needed. There really are no expectations. Baby leads the session, and I go with the flow. After all, it is baby’s tiny details, stretches, yawns, and connection with you that will be what you want to remember every time you look at your photographs.
