Frequently asked questions
When should I book?
It’s never too early to book. I take on a limited number of sessions each month to ensure every client receives a personal, high-touch experience.
Maternity: I recommend booking your session in your second trimester or as soon as you feel ready. Your session will ideally take place between 28–34 weeks, when your bump is beautifully round and you’re still feeling comfortable.
Newborn: Ideally photographed in the first two weeks. I recommend booking during pregnancy so we can reserve space around your due date. Once baby arrives, we’ll lock in a session time that works best.
Availability is limited, but booked clients get priority. I hold flexible space to accommodate your timing.
If you’d love to capture both maternity and newborn, I also offer Bump to Baby packages.
Family: Anytime! These sessions are timeless, and there’s never a wrong moment to document connection.
What makes your sessions different?
These sessions are about more than posed photos. They’re a chance to pause and honour this unique season of your life.
I focus on capturing genuine connection, the quiet details, and the in-between moments — those fleeting glimpses of real emotion and bond. With care and an editorial eye, I create timeless images that feel honest and personal.
If you value meaningful moments and authentic emotion over staged portraits, this experience is made for you.
Because these moments are fleeting and deserve to be remembered beautifully and with heart.
Where do sessions take place?
Studio (Narre Warren South): Light-filled and thoughtfully designed for calm, natural imagery. The studio is perfect for all session types and especially well suited to newborns.
On-location: Beautiful, outdoor spots across Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula. I’ll send you a curated location guide once booked.
In-home: Available for all sessions by request, depending on lighting and availability.
Do you provide wardrobe or styling help?
Yes! All sessions include access to my elevated client wardrobe for mamas and babies. For family sessions, I provide guidance to help coordinate your outfits in a way that feels effortless, timeless, and true to your style.
What’s included in the studio?
Everything you need is here. From a client wardrobe for mama and baby, nappies, wipes, wraps, swaddles, and a changing mat, to a warm, quiet space for feeding, settling, or simply catching your breath. Whether you’re coming in for a maternity, newborn, or family session, you can arrive feeling calm and cared for.
What if my baby or toddler doesn’t cooperate?
You’re not alone! Little ones are unpredictable, and I fully expect that. I gently guide the session with space for pauses, play, cuddles, and snack breaks. It’s all part of the experience. There’s no pressure to perform, just be present.
Can partners or siblings be included?
Absolutely. Whether it’s a maternity, newborn, or family session, these moments are about connection. Partners and siblings are always welcome!
How long does each session run?
Maternity & Family: Around 60–90 minutes, depending on light and location.
Newborn: Up to 2 hours, allowing time for settling, feeding, and soft transitions.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes, I do. Payment plans are available. Just let me know and I’ll tailor something that works for you.
