MATERNITY PHOTO SESSIONS

An intimate session to celebrate the beginning of a new journey in your lives.

I usually recommend booking in a session between 29 and 36 weeks of pregnancy. Everyone carries and feels

different during pregnancy but in our experience the majority of women feel most comfortable prior to 37 weeks.

I believe simplicity is best and my aim is to produce elegant, flattering and timeless images.

I suggest that you have on hand a selection of your pregnancy wardrobe—i.e.: black ,white, light pink, beige or grey

figure-hugging clothes, lace dresses, sheer tops, plain singlets, soft shawls/ fabrics. Colourful form fitting maxi dresses

also look great. In addition, we will bring a range of black and white fabrics for draping, lace tops, tube tops and tube

skirts.

My goal is to ensure you feel comfortable, beautiful, confident, and empowered throughout your photo session, and

I will guide you on the most flattering positioning, poses and wardrobe.

Professional hair and makeup can be arranged should you require this and the stylist will arrive 90 minutes before the

start of your session. Please contact me for further details on this option.

NEWBORN PHOTO SESSIONS

The first few weeks of your baby’s life is a time of wonder and unexplainable love, our aim is to capture these beautiful

moments for you to treasure for a lifetime.

My approach and style to newborn photography is clean, simple and minimalistic with an emphasis on your baby as

the beautiful subject.

The best time to photograph newborns is within the first month. When choosing when to book a newborn session bare

in mind that at 7-10 days old baby is still very sleepy but with a session booked later in the month you can expect a

more awake and interactive little one.

I usually recommend baby to be either naked or in a short sleeve/short arm white/light coloured onesie. By wearing

something neutral the focus remains on the baby, expressions and your faces.

Make sure the onesie fit well as its best that the outfit doesn’t ride up your baby’s neck or look too wrinkled.

In addition, I also bring simple monotone woollen blankets, fabrics for draping and baby wraps should you wish to

use this kind simple but effective prop.

Please book in advance to secure your preferred date. The best time to book your newborn session would be at the

beginning of your third trimester, once your confirmation deposit has been made the date will remain flexible until I

know when your baby has arrived.

FAMILY PHOTO SESSIONS

Before the session it’s best to ensure that your child has been fed and is rested. That should make for a re-energised

and happy little subject for the start of the shoot! Though, of course, breaks during the session for either you or your

child are absolutely fine.

I can also arrange professional hair and make-up services for your session, in which case the stylist will need to

arrive 90-minutes or so before I do.

Your session will then be edited to the best 50 high resolution images. Each image is given to you in both colour and

black & white. They are sent to you via an online platform about 7-10 days after your session, but can be with you

sooner if required for announcement cards etc.

I work on your timelines, so please let us know if you need your images expedited. Please note that during high

season holidays images will be sent within 2-3 weeks.

THE FIRST YEAR PHOTO SESSIONS

Documenting the development and growth of your baby in the first year is important as their milestones are huge

memory makers. Gummy smiles, their first tooth, sitting, waving, crawling, playing, interacting with you/siblings and

all their adorable expressions are incredible keepsakes.

Newborn, 6-8 months and 1 year are all poignant milestones that warrant capturing your little ones with a professional

photography session.

OUTDOOR/BEACH FAMILY PHOTO SESSIONS

I try to arrange our outdoor family session either bright and early in the morning or at golden hour (two hours prior

to sunset) if the forecast allows. Nothing beats the gorgeous soft morning or late afternoon natural light.

I generally recommend you wear comfortable shoes and clothes in neutral or pastel colours to get the best out of

your photography session. It’s also best to avoid wearing bright colours and large prints as these tend to steal the

attention away from the happy smiles.

Comfort is key though. During the sseesion, we walk a lot, we run and lift kids up in the air, trust me, you will want to wear

comfy shoes and the outfits that doesn’t require stiff poses.

I always make sure to check the forecast a couple of days before the shoot and in case of rain we can reschedule for

another day depending on your availability.

However, we all know how hard it is to predict weather. It often happens that the forecast weather app shows sunny

weather when it’s raining; or vice versa.

I suggest we keep in contact and work out the best location as the day progresses and work around the

weather.

PORTRAIT & BRANDING PHOTO SESSIONS

Having been a business owner for 20 + years, I understand the importance of setting yourself apart using custom

imagery on your personal blog, website and social media.

I help you create a folio of portraits that represent who you are and what you want to convey about your business to

the world. Telling your story and building a brand personality through elegant, creative and unique custom imagery.

Before your branding photoshoot I will gain an understanding of you and your business’s core values.

Then we work together to capture the essence of your brand through natural light photography, delivering images that

create a personal connection with your customers.

My goal is to ensure you feel comfortable, beautiful, confident, and empowered throughout your photo session and

I will guide you on location, posing and wardrobe. Professional hair and makeup can be arranged should you require

this and the stylist will arrive 90 minutes before the start of your session.
