Meet my beautiful friend, Alicia. I was a guest at Alicia’s baby shower a week ago, so I snuck her outside to grab a couple of very quick shots of her and her lovely round shape! After looking through this handful of images, Alicia & Brad have decided to work with me on a full pregnancy session, and then their son’s newborn session, and I can hardly wait!
Thank you for letting me share these images :)

Helena and I have known each other since we were 12 years old, and as we both have a passion for photography we were both so excited in the lead up to her pregnancy session. She was keen to work together on loads of ideas, and we all had a really fun morning executing all of our plans.
I have loved watching Helena while pregnant. She truly ‘glows’ with joy, and is indulging in every beautiful moment of this pregnancy. This baby is so lucky to be born to such loving parents, and an extended family that is just busting to meet him or her!
Helena & Gleb are some of the sweetest friends I have, and I was proud to work with them to photograph this very special moment just weeks before their little one arrives. Here are my favourite images – there’s a lot!
To me, this second shot is SO ‘Helena & Gleb’ – Laney cracking up and Gleb looking decidedly cheeky!
LOVE these shots :)
Helena and I studied Chinese together at high school, this tattoo is her name in Chinese characters – I love how it has stretched with the baby.
We had to get Biscuit into a few shots ;-)
LOVE this :)
I adore the following two images. I realise the gritiness of film is not for everyone, but it’s one of the many reasons that I still shoot with film. It makes me laugh when people quietly point out to me that a shot is grainy, it means I got it right ;-)
Thank you so much for embracing this session like you both did, I’m proud of the work we’ve created together.
Love you xx
When I photographed Tanya & Andrew’s beautiful wedding a couple of weeks ago (photos to come soon!), there was a familiar face amongst the guests – my adorable friend, Helena and her super cute bump! So of course, I couldn’t resist grabbing a couple of quick photos.
This sweet little baby is already very loved, and is eagerly awaited.
And until I can indulge in lots of cuddles, your friendly kicks will have to do :)
I can’t wait until our full pregnancy session & snuggly newborn session :)

Announcing a new session bundle!
A full maternity session & a full newborn session, including $150 of print only credit, for $500.
These photographic sessions complement each other – capturing the anticpation of your pregnancy, and then the arrival of your new baby. With the nature of these sessions, we take things at your pace, and your comfort level ensuring you are left with images you’re not only proud to display in your home, but with renewed appreciation and joy for this very special time in your life.
This has been a long time coming, and both Amanda and I have been busting to work together on this session. Considering how close we are, it was something very special to do together and it made Amanda very comfortable, and so she was up for pretty much anything! :)
Another fabulous thing that must be mentioned, is that Amanda has an amazing view about her pregnant body. While she’s not completely thrilled about the three little stretch marks that just recently appeared on her belly, she accepts that its all a part of being pregnant and that her body is doing such an amazing thing right now, that a few stretch marks really pale in comparison.
It is something very special to photograph a pregnant woman on the brink of bringing a new life into this world, especially when the woman walks away saying how much fun she had working together and how great the session made her feel about herself and her pregnant body, but photographing your closest friend at this life changing moment and having her feel those same things is indeed extra special and a pretty amazing experience.
So … here she is!
Technically not a maternity photograph, but she is pregnant and I think its such a beautiful image of the two of them.
