Maternity Sessions

You’re growing life and that’s something worth honouring.

This season you’re in… it’s powerful. It’s raw and beautiful in a way that words can’t quite capture. Your body is doing something incredible, and even though it might not always feel glamorous, there’s a quiet kind of magic in the way you carry your baby before ever holding them in your arms.

A maternity session is a chance to slow down, breathe, and really connect with the little soul growing inside you. It’s not about looking perfect or posing stiffly for the camera, it’s about feeling present, grounded, and celebrated exactly as you are.

We’ll head into nature or a cosy, calm space where you can relax, breathe, and just be present. I’ll gently guide you with natural, relaxed prompts, nothing stiff or awkward, so you feel completely at ease.

Around 30–36 weeks is a lovely time when your bump is showing, you're likely feeling your best, and you’re still feeling good in your body.

These images aren’t just photos. They’re a reminder of this sacred chapter. Together, we’ll create a collection of soulful images that capture the connection, the anticipation, and the quiet magic of this moment.

If you’re ready to document your journey with honesty, warmth, and connection, I’d be so honoured to capture it for you.
