Whether you're celebrating a growing belly, first birthdays, or the beautiful chaos of family life, every session is designed to feel relaxed, intentional, and true to you.
Here's everything you need to know.
Our Process
Before Your Session
Booking your session is simple. You can get in touch through the contact form here on my website or by reaching out via social media. Once we've chosen a date and session type, your booking will be secured with a non-refundable booking fee.
Before your session takes place, you will receive a contract and a short questionnaire to complete. This questionnaire is tailored to your specific session type and helps me learn more about you and what you're hoping for from your session.
If you're unsure what to wear, I'm always happy to help. I can provide tips and colour suggestions to help you choose outfits that photograph beautifully.
For outdoor sessions, I'll ask in your questionnaire if you have a location in mind. If not, I'm more than happy to recommend some of my favourite spots, and we'll choose the perfect location together. Keep in mind that travel fees may apply.
If the weather doesn't cooperate or someone becomes unwell, don't stress. We'll simply reschedule your session to my next available date with no additional fees.
During Your Session
My sessions are a relaxed mix of natural lifestyle moments and gentle prompting. I'll guide you throughout the session so you never have to worry about what to do in front of the camera.
Session lengths vary depending on the collection you choose and range from 15 to 45 minutes. If you believe you may need more time, we can chat further.
I understand that being in front of the camera can sometimes feel awkward, but my goal is to make the experience comfortable and enjoyable. The more relaxed you are, the more natural your photos will be.
If little ones are part of your session, please know that I'm very patient. Kids might take a little time to warm up, or they may arrive with lots of energy, and that's completely okay! Some of the most beautiful photos come from those playful, candid moments.
There's absolutely no pressure to be perfect. Just focus on enjoying the moment with your loved ones and I'll take care of the rest.
After Your Session
After your session, I carefully sort through and edit your images to ensure you receive a beautiful final gallery.
Your photos will be delivered within 3-4 weeks through a personalised online gallery. All sessions include the final edited images from your session, with the total number depending on the collection you selected.
When your gallery is ready, you'll receive it to your email with a download PIN, which allows you to download your images directly from the gallery. Your images can be downloaded as many times as you like, making it easy to save and share them.
You are absolutely welcome to share your images on social media. I always love seeing your photos being enjoyed and appreciated.
What to Wear
I recommend soft, neutral tones and natural textures that photograph timelessly. Think creams, soft whites, earthy tones, muted blues, and greens.
Avoid bold logos, busy patterns, or anything that feels too tight or uncomfortable.
For maternity and motherhood sessions, you're welcome to access my client wardrobe, which includes flowing dresses designed to flatter and move beautifully. I'm also happy to help style outfits from your own wardrobe if that feels more you.
The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and confident. When you feel good, it shows.
Whether this is your first pregnancy or your last, the focus is on anticipation, tenderness, and honouring this season.
Maternity
The ideal time to capture this season is between 28 to 34 weeks, when your bump is beautifully rounded, and you're still feeling comfortable enough to enjoy the experience.
Your session can include your partner, your children, or be a quiet, intimate moment just for you and your growing bump. Styling support is available, whether it's guidance from your own wardrobe or access to our client wardrobe. Sessions are slow-paced and gentle, with time to pause and rest as needed.
Whether you're in the first hours or the first weeks, the focus is on gentleness, presence, and the quiet beginning of your new rhythm.
Fresh48 & Lifestyle Newborn
Captured within the first 48 hours after birth, these sessions focus on quiet connection and the fleeting details of those early moments. Whether in your hospital room, birthing centre, or at home, the approach is gentle and unposed, allowing space for raw, natural interactions as they unfold.
For those a little further into this season, lifestyle newborn sessions are best held within the first 2 to 4 weeks, once you've settled into life at home. The pace is slow and completely baby-led, following your little one's rhythm in a way that feels peaceful and true to your everyday.
Older siblings and fur babies are always welcome to be part of the session.
Whether your arms are full of a newborn or wrapped around growing children, the focus is on closeness, comfort, and everyday love
Motherhood
These sessions are designed to celebrate the heart of your motherhood journey - whether you're snuggling your newborn, chasing toddlers, have "too-cool" teenagers, or holding angel babies in your heart.
These sessions are relaxed and emotional. Perfect for breastfeeding portraits or "mama + me" sessions that document this season of life as it is.
Sessions can take place at home or outdoors and are guided in a way that feels natural and unforced. Expect movement, touch, and moments that feel real.
Whether they're sitting, crawling, standing, or turning one, the focus is on personality, curiousity, and celebrating who they are right now.
Smash and Milestone
Smash sessions can include cake, fruit, or steak, depending on what best suits your child and your family. The focus is on curiosity and personality rather than overly styled setups and forced mess. All food is to be provided by parents to suit dietary preferences and sensitivities.
Milestone sessions are perfect for capturing those fleeting in-between ages. Parents and siblings are always welcome to join in for a few images.
Whether your season feels calm or beautifully chaotic, the focus is on shared moments, laughter, and being together just as you are.
Family
These sessions are relaxed, playful, and centered around real connection rather than perfect poses. If children arrive with lots of energy and we're in a safe space, I'll often start with a short burst of movement, like running races for a minute or two. This helps them release energy while keeping things fun and natural.
Throughout the session, I'll guide everyone with light-hearted prompts that encourage interaction and genuine reactions. Expect giggles, cuddles, and moments that feel true to your family. Nothing is forced, and children are always encouraged to be themselves.
Whether you're marking an anniversary or simply want photos that feel true to your love, the focus is on ease, chemistry, and the way you choose each other every day.
Couples
You won't be asked to stand stiffly or hold poses that don't feel natural. Instead, I'll guide you with prompts that encourage closeness, movement, and laughter.
Some prompts are intentionally playful to break the ice and help you relax into the moment together. The result is imagery that feels authentic, emotive, and reflective of your relationship rather than overly posed or serious.
