ne of the biggest worries mums share with me before their maternity photo session is what to wear — and it’s completely understandable. Studio maternity photos are beautifully simple and focused, which means what you wear plays an important role in the overall look and feel of your images.

One of the most common questions I’m asked is “When should I book my maternity photos?” It’s a lovely question, and an important one — because timing plays a big part in creating images where you feel comfortable, confident, and truly yourself.

Your baby’s first birthday is such a milestone — and it always seems to arrive quicker than expected. A cake smash photoshoot is a beautiful way to celebrate this moment, capturing your little one’s personality just as it’s beginning to shine through.

Pregnancy is such a special, fleeting time — and I know how quickly it can pass. Many of the mums I photograph tell me they almost didn’t book a maternity session because they felt unsure, self-conscious, or simply didn’t know what to expect.

In the early days of parenthood, the daytimes are fleeting even if the nighttimes sometimes feel endless.

Welcoming a new baby into a family is a moment of profound change - especially for the little people who were there first.
