Maternity & newborn Photography

 

Motherhood begins long before the baby arrives. It’s in the quiet anticipation, the growing bump, the tiny fingers wrapped around yours and the way your whole world shifts in an instant.


As a Lockyer Valley and South East Queensland maternity and newborn photographer, I create relaxed, natural sessions across Brisbane, Ipswich and surrounding areas that celebrate this season with warmth, strength and honesty. No stiff posing, just genuine connection and timeless imagery.

Sorry, I don't put babies in baskets

I focus on natural moments - not studio style newborn swaddles & baskets

My newborn sessions are relaxed, natural and usually take place in your home or on location. There’s something incredibly special about documenting your family in the space where your baby first lived, where the late-night feeds happen, where this new chapter truly begins. It’s raw, honest and beautifully real.


If you’re looking for a highly styled studio newborn experience, I may not be the right photographer for you. But if you’re drawn to something cinematic, emotive and natural, I’d love to hear from you!

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if we book a maternity session but baby comes early?

If you notice your belly starting to drop, you have a feeling baby may arrive early, or your induction date changes, please let me know as soon as possible. I’m always happy to bring your maternity session forward where I can.


If your little one makes a surprise early arrival before your maternity session takes place, we can absolutely adapt. I’m happy to replace your maternity session with a hospital or birth space session (if timing allows), or we can simply move straight into documenting your newborn season instead. I’m also always available for a quick phone call to chat through the best option for you.


Flexibility is built into this season — I know babies don’t follow calendars.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to book my maternity session?

Maternity sessions are typically held between 30–34 weeks, when your bump is beautifully round but you’re still feeling comfortable enough to move around and enjoy the experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should we book our newborn session?


The best time to secure your newborn session is during your second or third trimester. I pencil in your due date and remain flexible around your baby’s actual arrival.
