There's a particular kind of quiet to these last weeks before everything changes. You're still you, but you're also becoming someone's mum. Both things at once.
You won't get this stretch of time back, and most women tell me afterwards they're glad they didn't wait.
Maternity sessions on-location at golden hour. Send me a message when you're ready.

Winter studio sessions, this month. The studio is warm, the light is soft, nothing to chase. For mothers and children, sibling portraits, and women who'd like an hour for themselves. Booking link in bio.

You keep meaning to be in the photo. There's always a reason not to, the year you'll look more like yourself, the haircut, the someday.
But your girls won't be this age again. The leaning-in, the unprompted hug on the sand, the weight of them still close enough to hold.
From a recent motherhood session at Balmoral Beach. Just her, and the two of them, exactly as they are right now.
If you've been putting yourself off for a more convenient version of you comment MOTHERHOOD and I'll send you the details.

Elevating a photo isn’t about perfect posing; it’s about what we choose not to include. In the studio, there are no chaotic backgrounds or overwhelming distractions. We focus on clean styling, natural light, and real connection.
​I worry about the details so you can just show up, relax, and show your love. Because when the eye knows exactly where to land, the emotion follows.

Wrapped in fur. Lost in thought.
These are from a studio workshop with last winter, styled by and somehow they've been sitting on my hard drive ever since.
Couldn't choose between colour and black and white so I'm sharing both.
With winter coming in, studio sessions are open - fur, knits, layers and soft studio light are a combination I'll never get tired of. Mother and child, maternity, or a session just for you.
I'd love to hear from you.

Who said girls get to have all the fun in front of the camera? There’s a special kind of magic in capturing the bond between a mama and her boy. And I may be biased since I'm a boy's mum. It’s messy, it’s loud, and it’s usually 90% "stop making that face" followed by 10% of the most soulful, honest captures you’ve ever seen. Turns out, when you let them lead the way, boys are actually the best models in the business.

Linen, ocean breeze, and the last of the summer light. I loved the breezy feel of this session, but I’m so ready for a change in pace. It’s finally time to add some cozy layers for my upcoming autumn dates.
Bringing on the golden tones and crisp air.

You know that feeling, right? When you look at them and think, "Wait, where did the last year go?" It just sneaks up on us.
Look at her here, completely lost in the moment, just playing in the sand. This is her true self. No posing, no forced smiles. Just that pure, little-kid wonder.
We’re all so busy juggling work, school, and life, and we sometimes feel like we're losing the real moments. The ones we actually want to keep.
This isn't just a nice picture. It's a way to hit 'pause' on the chaos. It’s about freezing that little hand and that specific look in her eyes so you can keep it forever.
What's the one thing about your kids right now-that little habit or expression-you know you’ll miss the most when they grow up? Tell me in comments.
