a beautiful season of motherhood
Pregnancy has a way of feeling both endless and fleeting all at once.
For months, your world quietly changes as you wait to meet the little person you've already fallen in love with.
My maternity sessions are designed to honour this chapter through timeless, soulful portraits that celebrate the anticipation, connection and love that already exists before your baby arrives.
Whether photographed in my Nelson studio, in your home, or at one of our beautiful outdoor locations, sessions are relaxed, natural and guided throughout.
Just you, your story, and a season you'll never experience quite the same way again.
styling your session
Your session includes access to my client wardrobe, featuring a collection of timeless dresses selected specifically for maternity and motherhood photography.
You'll also receive a personalised styling guide, with support coordinating outfits for your partner and children. From sourcing pieces to creating a complete look, I'll guide you through the process so everything feels effortless and beautifully cohesive.
Whether your session takes place in my Nelson studio, your home, or outdoors, every styling choice is thoughtfully considered to complement both the location and my signature timeless aesthetic.
The goal is simple: for you to feel comfortable, confident and beautiful in front of the camera.
FAQ
When is the best time for a maternity session?
Maternity sessions are typically photographed between 28 and 36 weeks, when your bump is beautifully visible but you're still comfortable enough to move and enjoy the experience.
Can my partner and children be included?
Absolutely. Maternity sessions can include your partner and children, allowing us to capture not only your pregnancy, but the anticipation and connection shared by your growing family.
Where will my session take place?
Sessions can be held in my Nelson studio, in your home, or at one of our beautiful outdoor locations. Together we'll choose the setting that best suits your vision and family.
What if I don't feel comfortable in front of the camera?
Most of the women you see on my website felt exactly the same way.
The good news is that you don't need to know what you're doing - that's my job. I'll guide you throughout the session, creating natural, flattering photographs while making sure you feel comfortable, relaxed and completely at ease.
What should I wear?
Your session includes access to my client wardrobe and a personalised styling guide. I'll help coordinate outfits for the whole family so everything feels effortless and beautifully cohesive.
How far in advance should I book?
I recommend booking your maternity session during your second trimester to ensure availability and allow plenty of time for planning.
