Newborn & Maternity Sessions

Hello you adorably-overwhelmed-brandspanking-new parents or parents to be. Congratulations! The memories of childhood hold deep emotion, nostalgia and love and we all know it flies by way too fast. This beautiful newborn bubble you’re in now will feel like it’s over in an instant! What better way to preserve these precious moments than with a newborn or maternity photography shoot. Here’s how it works:

  • Pick a day and time

  • Invite me over

  • I arrive with all my fancy photography gear. We spend some time capturing you and your little one or bump. I’ll take some ‘observation’ shots of you just being the doting parent you are and going about your business. I’ll then give you some easy directions of how to sit/stand/face me so that we can get some of the more ‘traditional’ newborn shots. If your partner and other children are home we’ll then invite them in so we can include some pics of you as a little family

  • During which, it is totally okay to pause for feeds, nappy changes, burps and crying (the baby, not us!).

  • I allow 45mins - 1 Hours for this type of shoot as I know babies need lots of rest and you can expect to see the finished gallery in 2-3 weeks.

  • Pricing includes digital images so you do not need to purchase them

Family Session

Let’s admit it: KIDS ARE BUSY! When you book a session with me my goal is tailor my session to you. For example, if you and your family regularly spend time in your garden that makes it the perfect place to shoot!

I especially like to follow the lead of your little ones and capture them as they truly are. This is how you want to remember them, having fun and being their energetic selves, right? With my family shoots I spend a bit of time getting your traditional ‘family shots’ and then I let the kids run a-muck and see what magic we can create.

There’s no awkward poses in these types of sessions, instead I encourage movement. Our bodies are always moving with each breath. This is why during my sessions I try to capture that motion.

HOW IT WORKS:

  • I’ll give you some  pre-session Info so you know what’s involved and what to expect on the day

  • I help you pick a location

  • We allow 1 hour for your session. This time is for you as a family to unplug and connect without any distractions.

  • During the session I guide you in ways to help get the best photos. I am all Steven Spielberg over here. But don’t worry I promise I won’t force you into any awkward poses.

  • You DO NOT need to pay for your digitals you get 30 digitals included!!!

  • An online gallery is sent to you in 3 - 5 weeks where you can download your images!
