Maternity sessions are a beautiful way of capturing this special time in your life. A time that you will one day forget how you looked and how it felt to be pregnant. It’s lovely to have these photos to look back on down the track and be able to see and feel those emotions through a photograph.

Maternity session bookings are made between 30-32 weeks of your pregnancy.

There are three packages to select from, one to suit each family and what they may be looking for in maternity session.

More about what’s in the Maternity packages here.

Sessions can take from 1-3 hours.

I have a full range of maternity gowns and drapes to choose from.
You are also welcome to bring your own clothing along if you have something special you’d like to be photographed in or for religious beliefs.

You may like to take your maternity session to another level by selecting to book my hair and makeup artist

Adelle Mariah Makeup on the day of your session to give you that extra pamper and glow on your special day. 

Adelle is a true talent and really gives you a beautiful soft natural glow, perfect for a maternity session look. 

*This is an additional cost and payment can be made to the make-up artist on the day*

I want you to be able to enjoy the whole experience on the day as this is a very exciting time for you, maternity sessions are never rushed, your needs come first and I allow plenty of time for breaks and refreshments in between shooting.

In order to secure your booking for a maternity session you should contact me during your 2nd trimester as spots fill months in advance.

all things Newborn

 

 

 

Newborns are photographed in their natural state, I supply all the essentials for the session including props, clothes, blankets, headbands, bonnets etc. The studio is prepared so you don’t need to bring anything but milk for your beautiful new baby.

All baby supplies are also in the studio for you to use on the day such as nappies, wipes, change table etc to make the process as easy as possible for families as it is most likely your first outing.

The studio is a warm and relaxing place, the environment is set so you can sit back watch and enjoy the process of your very own newborn having their first days of life documented for a lifetime. Most parents say it is the most relaxing day they have had since having their baby and thoroughly enjoy every part of the experience.

Packages have been broken up into four unique bundles from mini sessions to all-inclusive, one to suit every family.

Newborn sessions can take from 2-4 hours.

I photograph newborns at 14-20 days new, as they are still very sleepy at this age and are very easy to settle into posing positions.
This ensures you get the most out of your session.

I always take my time during a newborn session, as your baby’s needs come first. I allow plenty of time for feeding, cuddling and settling. It is important to keep the baby full and as relaxed as possible during the session time.
This also allows Mum and Dad to enjoy the experience without feeling stressed or rushed.

The safety of your little one is my highest priority. Some photos aren’t what they seem and require multiple shots to be taken, these are then merged in Photoshop afterwards to achieve the desired result.

Countless hours are spent each year on professional development, ensuring your baby is being handled, posed and styled safely and creatively to ensure all of my families are safe at all times.

I’m registered &  fully vaccinated which are both kept up to date each year. I have a background in dental nursing which provides me with the necessary knowledge in hygiene, making sure the studio has a full changeover and safe hours between shoots to ensure all the families who visit the studio are in a safe and clean environment.

Booking your newborn session may seem like it will be a huge process and the unknown can be overwhelming, I’m here every step of the way to guide you. You are always fully informed regarding what is needed and what comes next. This allows you to enjoy the whole process without stress.

You are asked to fill out a family client form which allows you to select exactly what package you want, any specific colour schemes you may like to have in your gallery, along with a few more things so I can be as organised as I can on your arrival.

If you are looking at booking family images you may like to treat yourself by selecting to book my hair and makeup artist

How does the booking system work if your baby comes early or late?

I will pencil in your due date, when baby arrives you contact me, and I will schedule a day for your session within the 14-20 day mark, 18 being my favourite.  I allocate plenty of time before and after due dates as babies rarely arrive on their actual due date. So there is no need to panic.
