A simple, beautiful way to celebrate your bump
You’ve got a lot on your plate right now. My Mini Maternity Sessions are an easy, relaxed way to capture this chapter without a big production — just timeless portraits of you (and your partner, if you’d like) that feel like you.

What it feels like
Calm, unhurried and confidence-boosting. I’ll guide you through flattering poses and gentle direction so you never have to wonder what to do with your hands. Partners / kids are welcome, and we can include one or two simple looks.
Styling made easy
I keep things minimal and timeless — soft light, flattering shapes, and neutral tones.
You’re welcome to use my client wardrobe, bring along something of your own, or even do a mix of both. Think fitted dresses, cute outfit, or jeans and an open shirt — I’ll guide you on the day so it all feels effortless.

Keep it simple: fitted dress, neutral body/bralette + shirt, or a soft knit. Avoid busy patterns and bright neons. I’ll help refine choices when you arrive.
Keep it simple and timeless: a fitted dress or a neutral bralette with an open shirt all work beautifully. Avoid busy patterns and bright neons, as they can distract from the focus. You’re welcome to bring along a few of your own favourites, and we can also choose from my client wardrobe on the day. I’ll help refine the final looks once you arrive.
Totally optional, but a little polish goes a long way. Soft, natural makeup photographs beautifully — think light foundation, blush, and a touch of lipstick. Loose waves or softly styled hair also look gorgeous in photos. I recommend skipping fake tan, as the camera picks up every streak and uneven tone.
If you’d like the full treatment, I can arrange a trusted hair & makeup artist for you. Many mums-to-be find it a lovely way to feel relaxed and confident before stepping in front of the camera.
