Maternity​

​Maternity sessions are a beautiful way to celebrate the power of the female body and document your baby journey. It is nothing short of a miracle creating and growing a tiny little life inside of your body.
​It is a time that deserves to be captured to treasure forever.

Let's celebrate this amazing journey you are on and capture the beauty that is your pregnant body.

Maternity sessions focus mainly on you and your beautiful bump but we can absolutely include your significant other, children and pets.

​Sessions are best booked between 30 - 36 weeks right when your tummy is nice and round but before you are getting too uncomfortable. 

I have a selection of beautiful dresses to wear along with some fabrics used for draping around you if you want to fully embrace your pregnant figure and show more of your body. You can bare as little or as much as you are comfortable with. You are also welcome to bring your own outfits to create your very own unique look.

All maternity sessions are tailored specifically to you and take place in the studio. Professional hair and makeup services can also be arranged for an additional fee.  ​​

Frequently Asked Questions

​Where are maternity sessions held?

Maternity sessions are held in my professional studio in the Royal Arcade, central Timaru.

When should I book my maternity session?

If possible book early, after your 20 week scan is ideal. This will ensure a place is reserved for you and allows us to keep in touch and review how you are feeling. We can always adjust your date closer to the time if needed.

When is the best time to have my maternity session?

The best time to schedule a maternity session is around 30-36 weeks, when your tummy is nice and round but before you are getting too uncomfortable! Every woman carries differently of course and it is up to you when you feel ready.

Can I bring my husband/partner/children/dog?

Of course! Everyone is welcome to be included at your session including the family pets!

How long will the session take?

Maternity sessions can take anywhere from around 30 minutes to just over 1 hour depending on the session and how you are feeling. This will also depend if you bring other family members and have outfit changes. 

What do we wear to our session?

I have dresses available in the studio as well as fabrics that can be drapped over your body. As part of our Pre Consultation we can go over wardrobe choices together and decide what is best to suit both your style and what you are comfortable with.

Should I book a hair and makeup artist?

Everyone always feels good after getting their hair and/or makeup done so this is a great way to really boost your confidence for your photos. I work closely with a few hair and makeup artists and am happy to organise this for you.

How much does it cost?

Studio sessions start from $350

Do we get digital images?

Yes, all collections include digital images and printed products are available as well.

When do we receive the images?

Your images will be ready to view within 1-2 weeks of your session. I like to help you through the selection process of your images and this is best done in person at the studio. However If circumstances mean returning to the studio is too hard to schedule, or you are out of town, we can also do this online.  
Once you have chosen your images, they will be fully retouched and your digital images sent to you within 2-3 weeks. Printed products can take up to 4-8 weeks to arrive.
