A GUIDE TO BOOKING YOUR MATERNITY SESSION
Imagine that it’s 18 yrs from now…. that little person who’s wriggling inside you & kicking you all the time has just finished their HSC and it about to take off on a gap year trip around Europe….
You are struggling to remember those first few days after they arrived… when they fit in your arms and laid on your chest to sleep.. those little sounds as they slept, the way their eyelids fluttered when they were dreaming.. The little hands that could wrap around your finger and those sweet expressions as they tried to hard so focus on your face.
Now it’s all a blur…
When they are tiny we think we will remember .. but life passes by too quickly… and we forget.
Don’t rely on your memory for those precious moments, let us capture them for you so you will be able to remember them forever.
A little about us: we are located at Gordon, on Sydney's North Shore. Our studio space has been designed to emulate a natural, homely setting including our amazing huge arched windows, a fireplace, a bed and seating where your children and family members will feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the session. We also have a range of stunning props that we can incorporate as part of your session. The beautifully light controlled environment has been arranged to create timeless yet modern black and white portraits and stunning colour portraits. It is a pet-friendly environment, and we welcome any kind of pets for your session.
We photograph maternity, newborn babies, kids, families, and pets and create beautiful artwork for your family to have forever.
