I keep maternity sessions relaxed. We work with the natural light in your own home, or a private outdoor location, just enough guidance to make it easy, so what you're left with actually looks and feels like you.

Best time to book

Most maternity sessions work best between 30 and 36 weeks, once the bump has settled but before things get too uncomfortable to move around easily. Each pregnancy can be different so I will work with you to find the best time.

What to expect

Sessions run about an hour. We can include partners, kids, or pets if you'd like them in some of the shots, or keep it just to you.

“Bec has a real gift for capturing the little details and candid moments, the glances, smiles and personalities. The turnaround time was super fast, and we were blown away by the final images which are full of heart, joy and genuine emotion. These are memories we’ll treasure forever. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!”

— Claire H (Maternity & Newborn client)
