From my experience, growing a baby and mothering can be difficult and challenging. I made the mistake of not getting pregnancy photos of myself when I was pregnant or when I was a new mum with a newborn, as I found it hard to appreciate my body while I was tired and sore. Do I now regret not having the photos? Absolutely!

This is why it’s SO meaningful for me to document your baby bump and moment in time of your motherhood for you. Because I know from my experience how hard it is to get in front of the camera. But with time and once you’ve had your baby, pregnancy and new motherhood will be a long forgotten memory. Beautiful pregnancy photos will remind you of the amazing strength and wonder of your body and you will have memories of this fleeting time preserved to reflect on as the years go by. You’ll be proud to look back on them and see how far you’ve come.

The experience of having me photograph you is easy and relaxed. I come to your home, so you don’t need to leave the house. No dressing up for the camera required, wear whatever you are comfortable in so you can be authentically you. You’ll get some time to slow down and reflect on the amazing thing your body is doing or soak up some time with your brand new family member. In addition to creating some portraits of you, I aim to give you some documentary style images of actually being a mother too.
