Sunshine, salty air, golden light and a family full of energy.

This gorgeous mama just wanted to capture them as they are by the ocean where they spend so much time.

No performing, no sitting still for long periods smiling, just lots of movement and of course getting wet at the end of their maternity session.

I can’t wait to meet their newest little love when they arrive.

Same spot. Same little face. One year older.

There is something so quietly beautiful about a family who shows up for this every year. Who understands that the gift of images, of being able to go back and see exactly who he was at one, two, three, is one he will treasure long after the toys are forgotten.

This is one of my favourite traditions I get to be part of.

Do you have any birthday traditions in your family? I would love to hear them in the comments.

I had to say no four times this week. 💔

Not because I wanted to, I simply ran out of space. I always try to shuffle things around, because these sessions are so time-sensitive. Soon that beautiful belly will be an adorable little love in your arms, and I don’t want you scrambling to find someone who can capture it the way you hoped for.

Swipe through for why booking early matters, especially heading into the silly season (which has already hit the shops!)

If you’re expecting a little love before the end of 2026 and you’ve been on the fence, this is your sign.

DM “bump” or “baby” to get started. 🤍

If you are expecting in 2026, this is your sign.

Spots are filling faster than you think and the newborn window is one of the shortest of all. Blink and it is gone.

I would love to be the one to capture your newest little love in those first precious weeks.

One thing I hear from families after almost every session is this.

“I wish we had done this sooner.”

And I get it. Life is busy. The kids are in a phase. Someone is always sick or going through something. There is never a perfect time. So it gets pushed to later and later becomes another year gone.

But later means they are older.
Later means that little face has changed. Later means the phase you are in right now, the one that feels like a lot but is actually everything, has quietly moved on without being captured.

This family arrived with a little boy who had enough energy to power a small city and a clothing malfunction that had us all laughing just as we started. And somehow, in between all of it, we got the most beautiful real moments.

That is always how it goes.

Do not wait for the perfect time.
The perfect time is now, chaos and all.

DM “2026” to get your session booked before I close my books for the year.

You cannot quite tell in this image but this amazing mumma is 32 weeks pregnant!

I mean I don’t know about you but there is no way I could have done that!

I absolutely love this moment, you can hear the laughter and feel the joy.

Maternity sessions are not just for 1st babies. They are for capturing this chapter; the chapter just before the next one starts.

DM “bump” if you want to capture this chapter of your story.

As I was driving to this session I had two teenage girls madly trying to make sure we got concert tickets to a concert they wanted to go to…between those messages and messages with other parents, it was chaos, lucky I was stuck in traffic and people could understand my voice to text messages. We ended up securing the tickets. There first concert on their own, where did the time go….it doesn’t feel like it’s been long enough since I held those little babies in my arms like this.

So don’t wait until your booking concert tickets for your teenagers get the photos while you are still there whole world. I have just opened up my books for November and December. Past clients and those on the mailing list have first access and then they open to all.

Not on the mailing list? Simply head to my website and sign up, it’s that easy!

I asked my little friend who mumma was holding.

“Alfie.” He replied

I looked at mumma, she laughed because his name was actually Elliot. But as far as his big brother was concerned, he was Alfie. Non negotiable.

By the end of the session we were all laughing that they might just have to make it official.

This session was one of those ones that filled my cup. We sang happy birthday to mum and had cake. Our little friend came and went as he pleased, in and out between playing and being with us, and we just worked around him. Because that is exactly how it should be.

But I’m interested to know, did you let your kiddos name the baby? Let me know in the comments.

We all have those mornings.

The toddler refusing to wear clothes, deciding that gumboots and a nappy is a completely acceptable winter outfit. The dishes piled up in the sink. The nap window you had set aside for yourself, gone, because they had other plans.

I still have those mornings fourteen years later. Trust me.

When I got the message that morning that this little love had skipped her nap and was having a rough few days, I just reassured them. Even if she was unsettled it was okay. I am there to help and we will get the moments. A baby being unsettled is something that happens, I expect it, I reassured them to just stay calm and we will follow her lead.

And that is exactly what we did. We rocked her, fed her, held her close and let her set the pace.

Then this landed in my inbox afterwards.

“Thanks so much for today, you were so great with her. Sorry it was a bit chaotic at the end. Looking forward to seeing how the pics turn out especially after a really emotional few days, I’m glad I pushed and got them done.”

I’m so glad she pushed too.

Come as you are. We will always figure it out together.

From a mum of teenage girls, let me tell you, it goes so fast. Before you know it they have gone from you being their whole world, from legs and arms wrapped around you, to finding their own path, living their best social lives, handing in resumes and picking high school electives.

I am so glad I have hundreds of images just like this of me and my girls. The love, the adventures, the laughter and the sass.

So mumma, let this be your reminder.

Book the session. Not for perfectly posed photos. For photos that capture this chapter exactly as it is right now.

Because one day you will want to go back to it.
