Your journey as a mum begins here.

If we are shooting outdoors, the time of day we hold your session is super important. The general rule is that all outdoor sessions are held during the golden hour (either sunrise or sunset). Sunrise is the preferred option, as the weather is more predictable, kids are usually happier and there are less people around. Sunset sessions are available at specific locations.

I’m a classic over-sharer and an over-shooter - which means I usually take about 1000+ images. Because you’ll be moving so much, I often take multiple images every time I press the shutter - so when I say “blink-and-you’ll-miss-them type photos, I really mean it!!

You don’t want to sift through all of that! Part of my editing process is to hand select the best of the best of the best for editing, and these images end up in your gallery.

Before you panic - I’m an over-deliverer too. One of the most fascinating lessons I’ve learned is that the photos in my favourites list, will often be different to the photos in your favourites list. I tend to include everything that’s not a duplicate image, someone pulling a bad face or out of focus.

Your final gallery will still be huge, and you’ll have PLENTY of images. Everything in your gallery is yours to keep forever, but I find that most of my clients will love, print & share about half of them.

YES! Yes, yes, yes, yes! Love is LOVE. I wholeheartedly support my LBGTIQ+ friends, family and wider community. I adore photographing same sex weddings and families! The first time (and second..and third) time I heard the new amended reference that celebrants have to say at weddings (that a marriage is the union of two people, instead of man and woman) made me cry I was so happy!

The studio session is not an experience for already confident women - I promise you that every single mama who hops in front of my lens feels anxious about their body. It’s not your job to be a model, especially if you have no experience being professionally photographed - it’s a lot different to just having hubby snap some photos on his phone. These sessions are a great confidence boost, and I promise that by the time you walk out the door you’ll feel like a QUEEN!

Yes, of course.  It's super important to me that I'm capturing how you and your family feel about adding a new member to the family!

For mama's-to-be, the most important thing is that you wear something you feel comfortable in. If you feel comfortable, it’s best to wear clothes that are tight around your belly, so we can see it (and that way you don’t need to hold your hand on your belly the whole time).

Simple, neutral colours are best (cream, grey, blues, dark olive greens and other similar colours always work well in front of the camera. After booking your session, you'll access to my preparation guide with more tips and guides for choosing our outfits.

You’ve got two options - an outdoor session, or a studio session.

Outdoor sessions are usually scheduled for early morning or late afternoon (starting about an hour after sunrise and an hour before sunset are usually the best times). For a full list of locations, please send me an email!

Studio sessions take place in my natural light-filled home studio located in Point Cook. The studio is open exclusively Wednesday to Friday, and sessions are best held in the middle hours of the day.

It's best to schedule your maternity session between 32 and 37 weeks, for your comfort, mobility and to ensure we are capturing your gorgeous bump. It also allows a little extra time at the end in case your little one is in a rush to meet you earlier than expected!

Our session will only go for an hour so you don’t need to worry about being on your feet for too long.

Every package includes access to a gallery of all your edited digital photos, that you can download in print & web resolution, as well as some prints or albums (depending on your package). You and your family can always order additional fine art prints/albums from my pro-lab at any time.

Yes, yes, yes! We are a rainbow of colours and all of them are beautiful 😍 I’ve photographed several interacial couples, weddings and families and know how important it is for you that I capture and preserve your individual skin tones accurately. My editing style is minimal and I always make sure your skin tones are accurately represented in my final edits.

Of COURSE - my equipment is covered, and I also have public liability insurance.

Meeeeee! Always me! Taking photos is only half of the job, editing your photos is where everything comes together.

While I occasionally use Photoshop to enhance and refine your photos, as well as removing pimples or sores on closeup photos, I do not use Photoshop to alter anyone’s appearance, or remove things that are permanently part of you. It’s my job to make you comfortable and to capture you and your loved ones just as you are.

Your photos will be ready in 4-6 weeks, and will be delivered to you via your online gallery. You can also order prints, frames or albums through your gallery!

The good news? I really love weekends!

The bad news? I really love weekends…for spending time with all my friends and family who are only available on weekends 😅. I also need to reserve time on weekends for the other types of photography I provide, so this means I only take a limited number of weddings per year (no more than 10).

It’s best to get in contact with me ASAP to ensure your wedding date is available, especially if you’re looking at a Saturday in the next 12-18 months. For other types of sessions, usually 1-3 months is enough notice, more for busy periods (such as school holidays etc).
