Dearest Couples, Parents and Parents-To-Be,

I’d love to document your journey and help you celebrate this amazing time in your life. I’m honoured that you’re considering me and my work.

The very first step is to fill in my booking form. I aim to reply with 1-2 business days to confirm availability of your proposed date.

Newborns

For most clients the newborn session can feel incredibly daunting once baby has arrived. It’s something you booked before your little one was here, but now when faced with the prospect you’re feeling overwhelmed by it all. My goal is to support you, make you feel safe and in control, and to take on as much of the planning as possible. I have years of experience with babies and newborns, including two of my own. For families with older siblings, particularly toddlers, I have daily experience of those and have quite a few tricks up my sleeve to keep them happy and cooperating.

Families

I’d love to help you capture your family as it is now, to preserve and celebrate this time in your life.

My goal is to support you, make the entire process as smooth as possible, and to take on as much of the planning as I can. I have years of experience with babies and toddlers, including two of my own. Of the latter, I have daily experience and have quite a few tricks up my sleeve to keep them happy and cooperating.

Timing

Maternity sessions are best held between 28 and 34 weeks as this is the time when you’ll have a beautiful bump but still be comfortable enough for adventures. They can, of course, be done before or after this date range, if it suits you better, so never feel like you’ve left it too late!

If you’re after fresh, sleepy newborn photos these need to be done during the first 12 days. After this baby is much more alert and you’re unlikely to get sleepy photos. However, I can shoot beautiful photos of baby at any age, so please book in for when you feel comfortable.

Locations

If you don’t already have the perfect spot in mind you don’t have to worry about the “where”. I have an amazing list of unique, beautiful locations to chose from. For all of these I know what the light will look like at any given time of year and can recommend the perfect time for your photo shoot.

Styling and clothing

One of the first questions I’m asked once a shoot has been booked is “what should I wear?”. If you don’t already have the perfect outfit picked out, I can alleviate some of the stress by offering a modest client wardrobe with dresses to chose from. You can go in the water, dance in the sand or play in the forest and I’ll take care of the laundry. If you can’t find the dress from my selection, I can highly recommend MamaRentals for dress hire. Their gowns are breathtaking and my clients receive a 15% discount when booking their gown (please get in touch for the code).

The next question is “what should I dress baby in?”. The simple answer is if you don’t already have something in mind you don’t need to worry about this. I have a client wardrobe for baby, as well, consisting of neutral pieces that are comfortable and photograph well. On the day I will bring several along as well as some accessories, blankets and props.
