Capture the moments that matter most with a family photography session! In the fast-paced world we live in, taking the time to create lasting memories with your loved ones has never been more essential. A family photography session is the perfect opportunity to get everyone together and take some beautiful images for everyone to cherish, or perhaps to remember a special occasion or a visit from family that live further away. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, a special occasion, or simply want to document the beauty of your family bond, a photoshoot provides a unique and artistic way to tell your family’s story.
...From the moment we arrived in her gorgeous studio she was so welcoming and was like a baby whisperer with our newborn son...
...It was incredible watching her skillfully settle him into various positions. We loved how she focused on our baby as the center element, using more neutral props and calming colours...

Not sure what to wear?
Choosing what to wear to a photoshoot can be incredibly hard even under normal circumstances, it can be even worse when your body is changing to welcome a new life into the world - I know. To ensure that you feel like an absolute goddess in your maternity or newborn session, I have curated a beautiful selection of gowns, dresses and robes for you to wear. Made from gorgeous fabrics, with one size fits all options along with sizing up to 16 options as well.
Simply arrive in something you'd like to be photographed and bring along with nude/mauve/skin toned undergarments (strapless is best where possible) and then you'll be able to choose from the wardrobe as well.
Let's start planning your outfits! Not sure what to wear? Check out the Inspiration Board or consider using something from my beautiful client wardrobe!
During your photo session, I'll guide you through multiple poses and combinations while keeping the little ones entertained and the 'big ones' from feeling nervous in front of the camera.
To make the day of your session run smoothly and to ensure you arrive relaxed and on-time, make sure to prepare your outfits and anything else you need to day before.
