Your first adventures together whilst your heart beat for the 2 of you, quiet moments alone or the chaos already unfolding around you. The way you rest your hands on your belly without even thinking. These are details that fade faster than you expect and they are worth preserving, beautifully and honestly, exactly as they are.

Pregnancy is one of the most powerful, fleeting chapters of your life. Right now, in this moment, you are the whole universe to your baby. Let's bottle it up.

hello! I'm alex

I became a mother whilst backpacking Central America with my now husband — a scary unforeseen turn on our adventure that felt totally off the beaten track. But that wild, overwhelming, completely unexpected journey into parenthood changed everything for me.

My kids are 10 + 9 yrs old now, but I remember what it feels like to be in this season. The discomfort, the wonder, the way your body is doing something extraordinary every single day. And I know how quickly the bump disappears once that baby is in your arms.

With 18+ years behind the lens and a genuine love for documenting real, authentic moments.. I'm not here to pose you perfectly. I'm here to photograph you as you actually are the softness, the beauty, the chaos, mess, fun and all.

Let's chat

what a session

The Experience

You lead, I follow

There's no rigid shot list. We start slowly — a chat, a walk, time to settle in and breathe. I guide gently, but your comfort and your energy sets the pace.

Real, Unhurried Moments

No awkward poses. No forced smiles. Sessions run for around 60 minutes and we keep things moving.  There's space for the quiet moments, the genuine laughter and all the little bits in-between that make your story yours

Your People, Your Place

Partners, kids, your dog — whoever makes this season complete, bring them. Sessions happen in your home, at golden hour outdoors, or a location meaningful to you.

The bump is full and beautiful but you still feel comfortable and mobile. The glow is very real. We can move about more freely, especially if you have older children to chase after. This is the magic window.

28–34 weeks

Fuller, rounder, further along. There's a different kind of beauty in these final weeks. A readiness and a quiet power that photographs incredibly. Sessions are slower and gentle.

Due to to the close timing to your due date, any sessions booked more then 34+ require an in-door option

FAQs — Maternity

When should I book my maternity session?

Enquire during your second trimester — ideally by 20–24 weeks. This gives us the best chance to secure your ideal timing (28–34 weeks) and location, with flexibility for late changes.

What do I wear for a maternity shoot?
What do I wear for a maternity shoot?

I'll send you a full welcome guide with styling tips once you book. Generally: comfortable, flowy, simple tones, and anything that makes you feel like yourself. It's important that you can move easily and it makes sense for the location and activities we're doing.

Can my partner and kids be included?
Can my partner and kids be included?

Absolutely! And I'd love them to be. Sessions can be a mix of solo portraits and family moments. Even the most camera-shy partners tend to relax once we get started.

Do you offer maternity and newborn bundles?

Yes! Booking both together is popular and makes beautiful sense — you get a consistent style across the two most precious chapters. Reach out for bundle pricing details.
