Turn your memories into artwork

Your beautiful photos deserve more than an Instagram post or to get lost on a dusty hard drive!! With access to my professional printing service, you can turn your favourite images into beautiful framed artwork for your walls, or a gorgeous album to look back through and take a little walk down memory lane. 

What do we wear?

So you have booked your session, then you realise wait!?  What should we wear?  

I have a beautiful client wardrobe with luxury, curated dresses available for mums to feel special, and you're welcome to use anything from here for your session!

I'll help you choose outfits that work well together and photograph beautifully, so you don't have to spend hours trying to figure it all out. You're also very welcome to wear your own clothes- whatever you are most comfortable in.

The aim is to make your session as easy and stress-free as possible, so you can spend less time worrying about what to wear and more time enjoying the experience! :) 

Frequently asked questions

Where should I have my maternity session? +

I can guide you to some really stunning locations around Napier/Hastings area that I will send you to have a look through once you have booked in. I also include some handy information about each one to help you make the right choice for you!

I'm a bit nervous about having to pose... +

Don't worry - its low pressure posing. I don't expect you to know what to do with your hands, or where to stand - I offer lots of gentle direction that looks natural and you don't feel lost or awkward. I got you - all you need to do is enjoy this really unique experience with the people you love.

What should I wear? +

Make the most of the Specialist Maternity Wardrobe! The process is really simple - just choose the dress you like, I will prepare it and bring it for you. You will look and feel beautiful, wear it in the dirt, take it in the water, and hand it over afterwards and i'll take care of the cleaning!

I have a styling guide which is sent out on booking, which has lots of tips to help bring together everyone's outfits to bring a beautiful cohesive look to your images - but also keep your individual personalities shining!

When should I have my maternity photos taken? +

I generally recommend doing our session around 30–36 weeks, when your bump is beautifully round but you're hopefully still feeling comfortable enough to enjoy your session!

Can my partner and children come? +

Of course! Your session can be just you and your bump, or we can include your partner and children too. It's wonderful to capture the whole family together as you get ready to welcome your newest little person.

Step one: Get in touch

Send through an enquiry and tell me a bit about your family and what you're after. I'll help you find the right session and get some dates over to you.

Once you've picked one, a non-refundable deposit locks it in (it comes off your package total), and when that and your contract is sorted, the date's officially yours

Step Two: Plan and Prep

You'll get everything you need to get ready, plus a questionnaire so I can start getting a feel for your family before we've even met. I'll help you pick a location, and you're welcome to raid my client wardrobe.

About a week out I'll be in touch with the final details and your remaining balance, then I'll text you the morning of to confirm timing once I've had a look at the weather.

Step three: The big day

This is the bit that really matters: connection, some quiet cuddles, probably a bit of kid chaos, all of it.

There's no posing to remember or right way to do it: I'll guide you through as we go, so all you need to do is turn up and be together. I'll handle the rest.

Step Four: Gallery & Keepsakes

You'll get a private online gallery to browse and pick your favourites. 

If you fall for more than your package covers, you can upgrade to a bigger collection or the full gallery. You can also choose images to print or turn into something for your walls, because they deserve better than sitting on a hard drive forever.
