Testimonials
My Happy Clients!
The pictures were really lovely and it was difficult for me to choose.
Vivian (Blaise Onyekwere)
As a family photographer specialising in maternity and newborn sessions, I understand the importance of these moments. From the soft laughter shared between you and your partner to the tender touch on your baby bump, each maternity photo shoot is a chance to capture these fleeting moments. And soon, when your precious newborn arrives, we can continue the story with a natural lifestyle newborn session, preserving the first chapters of your growing family.
I prioritise your comfort and safety in every session. Weâll find outdoor maternity photoshoot locations that offer both stunning scenery and ease of access. And for those dreamy maternity pictures, think about complementary colours that enhance the natural setting â a touch of blue to match the sky or the warm tones of the spring flowers.
Your big day is almost here â your maternity photo session! I know you might have a bunch of questions about getting ready. Let me make it super easy for you. First things first, just be you. This day is all about celebrating your unique journey to motherhood.
Not a regular makeup user? No worries at all. Even a touch of natural makeup can work wonders for the camera. It’s true what they say â cameras tend to ‘eat’ makeup, so even if it feels like a bit much, trust me, it’ll look just right in the photos. The idea is to enhance your glow, not change how you look. You’re beautiful just the way you are, and a little makeup is just there to highlight your features.
Let’s talk hair â having clean, well-brushed hair can make a huge difference. Avoid oiling your hair the day before to keep it looking fresh and natural. And it’s always a good idea to bring along a hairbrush and a small mirror. They can be lifesavers for quick touch-ups during the shoot.
Try to steer clear of shimmer or glitter in your makeup. They can reflect light a bit too much, and we want the focus to be on your beautiful self, not the sparkle.
So, there you have it. Simple, right? Just a few small steps to help you look and feel your best. Remember, this session is all about capturing your unique beauty and the incredible journey you’re on. I can’t wait to see you shine!
This isnât just about taking beautiful photos; itâs about creating a lovely experience for you. I aim to make every maternity photography session relaxing and enjoyable, capturing your gorgeous images while ensuring you feel supported and cherished. Mental health is key during pregnancy, and this experience should be a positive, uplifting part of your journey.
Every mother-to-be has her unique vision and concerns. Whether you’re wondering about the best time for your shoot, concerned about bra straps showing in your maternity outfits, or hoping to include your baby boy in a few shots, Iâm here to address every detail. Your maternity photo shoots are personal, a reflection of your hopes, dreams, and the love you hold for your unborn child.
The magic of your maternity session doesn’t end when the camera stops clicking. It continues, evolving into a gallery of memories that you can cherish forever. The day after our photoshoot, I will send you a link to your unedited gallery, a raw and beautiful collection of moments captured during our session. This gallery isn’t just a set of images; it’s the first glimpse of your story, waiting to be refined and told in its full glory.
Â
As your maternity photographer, I value your input immensely. When the editing is complete, I will share the enhanced images with you for feedback. Your satisfaction is paramount, and I want to ensure that every edited photograph reflects the beauty and emotion of your maternity experience. Once you are delighted with the final look of your photos, I will proceed to the next exciting step â turning these digital memories into tangible keepsakes.
For those who cherish physical prints, I offer the option to create a personal gallery of prints. These are not just photographs; they are pieces of art, destined to adorn the walls of your home, turning every glance at them into a journey back to these precious moments. Each print is a testament to this special time in your life, a time of anticipation, love, and the beautiful transition into motherhood.
