With 17 years of mothering experience, and four children of my own, I know that along with the joys of pregnancy there can also be issues with body image.
I know how it feels when you can’t see your feet….when you’ve named your body pillow because it feels like a permanent fixture in your bed.
I know it’s not particularly exciting to find a new back roll, or to discover a road map on your stomach.
I know that with the excitement and anticipation of new life, the desire to feel beautiful does not dissipate.


I know how overwhelming that first week can be. Ok, that first year.
I know it’s not easy to trust a “stranger” with your pride and joy.
I know how to make you comfortable.
I know the football hold can be a lifesaver when you just can’t rock one more rock.
I know I’m going to get pooped on.
I know that it really is a smile.
I know they will never be this small again.

There are nine sessions available between now and September. If you are expecting and have been thinking about booking a newborn session, or a maternity + newborn combo session, please let me know as soon as possible. I am currently booking 6-8 weeks out.
The best time to schedule your maternity portraits is at the 30-32 week point (a bit earlier for twins!), and your newborn session takes place ideally between 5-10 days after delivery! I come to your home, and bring everything I need. It might feel like I’m moving in, but I get the job done![]()
