Maternity, Baby, & Women’s Portrait
& Personal Brand Photographer
Gold Coast
Whether you’re welcoming a new baby, starting a new venture, or celebrating a new phase of your wonderful life, let’s design a session you love,
and give you the most beautiful photos to honour this time in your life.
Capture what means the absolute world to you.
For all time.
You’re a woman that lives whole-heartedly. And you know the value of inspiring photography that tells your story. Images that capture your heartfelt moments. And help you to hold on to them.
It makes perfect sense that you want to capture in images what means the absolute world to you. This is a snapshot in time that you’ll never, ever, get back. I know it may sound cliché or overly dramatic, but think just how many times you’ve poured over photo albums of your own parents, your own childhood? Let’s start your own tradition with photographs that not only capture your moments, but become your favourite piece of art.
Are you ready to be subtly guided by a professional every step of the way so that you feel confident and look amazing in front of the camera? You can trust me to help you feel at ease and photograph you and those you love in your very best light.
Because we know you’re busy living this one big beautiful life, your session design, outfits and accessories are all created and planned just for you. So you can feel confident that all the details of your photoshoot and finished images are going to be incredible. Whether you choose an in studio session, serene milk bath, on location, or a combination session, I’ve got you.
I’m not only a certified professional photographer, with a creative passion for posing, lighting, and styling, but I’m also specifically skilled and trained in working with pregnant women and newborns. And for my personal branding clients, my background in advertising brings a little something extra to you and your business’s website and marketing content.
I can’t wait to show you not only the most beautiful images, but also the wonderful experience I bring to you in each and every photography session.
Why a photoshoot with me?
Photographing women in all phases of life, in their very best light, for all time, is the kind of portrait photography I love. I specialise in maternity and baby photography, contemporary women’s portraits, and inspirational personal branding imagery for women who value capturing their moments in time, telling their story, in fine art photographs.
If you value your life’s moments as art and want to live with what you love around you, it’s time to make magic.
Exist In Photos. I believe an image isn’t truly a photograph until it’s printed. Recall the days when having your photo taken was something special? No selfies, generic filters, or digital images that never leave the phone. Well every one of your professional photographs are individually hand edited and retouched with an eye for detail, beauty, and bringing out your very best. It’s time to come out from behind the phone camera. I’ve got you!
All done for you - from design to wardrobe to fresh flowers and arranging professional hair & make up.
The mere thought of what might be involved in a photoshoot could leave you wondering where to start and if you’re ever going to feel ready. That’s why I take all the guess work and planning out of it for you. From creativity, styling, lighting, posing know-how and your best angles, to creating swoon-worthy photographs and art for your home that you’ll love even more and more as time goes on. So that all you have to do is trust the process, prepare to be taken exceptional care of, and enjoy the experience! It’s time to say ‘Yes’.
My fine art background also means your photographs can be made into something one-off and unique. Hand painted fine art photographic portrait, custom framed. Image courtesy of the Dwyer family collection.
Maternity & Baby Photography … Because they’re only little once
I’m here to capture authentic, timeless photographs of your baby’s very first weeks - all the tiny curly newborn, peach fuzzy, crown hair swirly goodness - so you won’t forget a thing about your loved up baby days that pass by in the blink of an eye. Yes. As a mum of two not-so-little-anymore kids, they really do. My studio sessions and milk baths - for maternity, mum and older baby, and Women’s Muse portrait sessions for women of every age and stage - are designed to celebrate in inspirational images, all that you are. At this very moment. Photographed for all time. Existing in beautiful photographs. Because one day someone will be looking for photos of you.
You’ll experience the comfort and safety that comes with a dedicated professional photographer who is also accredited in newborn safety, and knows just how to make you and baby feel at ease as well as taking incredible photographs that will last the test of time. Professional print quality photographs that are each individually edited with care and an artistic eye. Memories that you will actually hold in your hands. Your own stunning artwork that’s beautifully designed in it’s own right, and that you’ll want to show off in your home. Not only on your phone.
And just so you don’t have to worry about a thing from start to finish, I organise the session design, wardrobe, hair & makeup, flowers, accessories, props, and creating personalised swoon-worthy photo artwork that will look incredible in your home. I guide you in front of the camera to capture you, and baby, in your very best light, so there's absolutely nothing you need to do but relax. You’re in safe, experienced hands. And my design and art background promises you truly stunning creative images. Your photographs are presented artfully and are really going to stand the test of time as they’re created with archival inks and paper by professional printers and framers. Every newborn session includes your maternity session complimentary.
Photos that perfectly tell the story of you, your baby, your family … over & over again.
Begin your own tradition.
Your baby’s very first story. All the tiny details. All the fleeting memories. All the beauty. Be transported back to their first weeks and months every time you see them.
Are you looking for beautiful, artistic, natural photographs to capture and remember your pregnancy and newborn baby’s very first weeks or months? The excitement of your precious baby belly journey and those early loved up days that pass by in the blink of an eye. The very first part of your baby’s story. Well know that you and your baby are in safe hands. From designing your session, providing wardrobe and styling, to capturing, individually hand editing and professionally printing your images as the most swoon-worthy design products you’ve seen - whether you want one beautiful image to hang on the wall, or a print collection - we do it all. We know you have bigger things on your mind, and we don’t want this time to slip you by. All you and baby need do, is just be your beautiful selves. Studio, lifestyle, and milk bath sessions are available to make your photos as unique as you are.
You’ll feel relaxed
and simply love every minute of your photoshoot as much as you love your finished images. Yes, really. The joy really is in the journey! Your session day is all about you and taking a breath.
For me there’s nothing like the look of complete love on your faces as you see your beautiful baby captured in photos that you will all treasure for many years - and generations - to come. It’s why I love photographing mummas-to-be and then their newborn little bundles during those fleeting first weeks when they still fit in your hands. Even between the week or so that they were born and when you come back to see your artwork, it’s just so amazing how much they grow! Telling yours and baby’s story from pregnancy to newborn or first months in photographs is an indescribable treasure that your family will enjoy for generations. Just think about that for a moment. What gift to your child could be more enduring or come closer to describing how much they are loved?
Your Photoshoot is a truly enjoyable experience & you’ll have the most beautiful printed photographs to one day put into their hands.
Your digital images are made into the most swoon-worthy prints, albums and wall art pieces you can imagine. They’re made with exceptional quality and craftsmanship to love now and share through generations. SQP products are available only to professionals, not through retail, and are carefully sourced from throughout Australia and Italy. Trust me, I have a design and styling background, and a very discerning eye. These pieces are gorgeous.
And now you can access these stunning designs too. Art pieces that you will be proud to decorate your home with. Our artwork offerings are contemporary and beautifully curated. Of the highest artistry and quality.
We know how crazy fast those last few months of pregnancy and preparing for your new baby can go by. We also know that whatever phase of life you’re in, you’re busy living your best one. That’s why we do all the work for you.
From planning and designing your photography session just for you, to supplying maternity and newborn outfits, women’s wardrobe, props, and flowers, to helping you choose your favourite images and which of our beautiful photographic products are going to suit your style perfectly. We’ve got you.
It’s all a part of our exceptional care and service. Whether you’d like in studio portraits, lifestyle type images in our beautiful home studio, or an outdoor milk bath, your images are going to stand out, and stand the test of time.
You in your best light
We also know that getting in front of the camera might be the last thing you feel like doing. And that finding a photographer you feel confident will take the utmost care of you and your baby while capturing beautiful photographs of this amazing time, is your number one consideration. So please know that you can trust us, and trust our many happy clients, when we say that both you and your baby are in safe, experienced, and creative hands. Yours and your baby’s comfort is our highest priority.
Do you know there’s no such thing as being photogenic or not? The magic is knowing how a camera lens ‘sees’. My favourite clients are actually those who really don’t like having their photos taken! The looks of happiness and perhaps a little bit of relief, when they see their first images on the back of my camera, fill them with relaxation and trust. I will gently direct you, help style and subtly pose you for your best angles and light. You are finally going to have photographs of yourself that you absolutely love. And if it’s your brand essence that’s being captured, personal branding and telling your brand’s story through inspirational images lets me also draw on my communications background, to bring your dream business to life in scroll stopping images. Either way, I’ve absolutely got you.
