HELLO

A winter sunrise, a quiet love.
There is something magical about the quiet hush of a winter morning that’s hard to put into words. Maybe it’s the way the golden light spills softly, wrapping everything it touches in warmth despite the chill. Maybe it’s the deep exhale while the world is still asleep.

For these first-time parents, just weeks away from meeting their baby girl, we met to celebrate this sacred season of almost.

At 32 weeks, the nesting begins in earnest – a quiet, hopeful preparation.

And this session?

A gentle pause.
A deep breath.
A moment to honour the love that’s already so vast, even before her first cry.

Why Sunrise?
Winter sunrises in Sydney are fleeting but glorious. The stillness of the morning lent itself to calm, intimate portraits, where every touch, every glance, felt like a whispered promise.

If you’re looking for maternity photography that feels slow and intentional, you’re at home. It’s slow paced and relaxing. Just you, your love, and the landscape holding space for this transition.

Your Questions Answered
1. When’s the best time for maternity photos?
Ideally between 29 – 35 weeks (when you’re glowing but still comfortable).

2. What if my partner hates being photographed?
Most do , until they realize that your sessions feel like a casual morning walk, not a stiff posing marathon. I’ll guide you both with gentle prompts.

3. What should we wear?
Neutrals, flowing fabrics, and layers work beautifully.
Pro tip: Avoid busy patterns; let your connection (and that bump!) take center stage.

4. Can we include our fur baby?

Absolutely! Bring on the big brother/ sister. They add so much joy. Just let me know in advance so we can plan treats and snuggle time.

Your pregnancy is a story only you can tell—but I’d be honoured to help you tell it. Whether it’s a golden sunrise, a quiet home session, or something entirely you, let’s create images that feel like a sigh of relief.

I'd love to photograph your FAMILY

Some of my favourite sessions have been with families who show up just as they are. The laughs too hard, the bear hugs, the ones who celebrate the chaos of being around kids!

If you're the kind of family who loves hard and wants photos that feel as genuine as your love for each other, I’d love to add your story to the collection.
