What Happens During a Maternity Session?

A Beautifully Guided Maternity Experience

Feeling nervous about your maternity session? You don't need to be.

If you've never had professional photographs taken before, it's completely natural to wonder what happens during a maternity session. Many mums arrive feeling a little nervous and leave surprised by how relaxed and enjoyable the experience was.

At my South Auckland studio in Drury, everything is designed to help you feel comfortable, confident and beautifully looked after.

What to Expect

Beautifully Guided, From Start to Finish

From choosing your gowns to finding your most flattering poses, I'll guide you through every part of your session.

Step One

Choosing Your Gowns

Your session begins with selecting the gowns you'd love to wear. With access to my extensive maternity wardrobe of over 150 gowns, there are beautiful options for different styles and preferences.

I'll choose looks that suit your chosen collection and the portraits you'd love to create.

Step Two

Fully Guided Posing

You don't need modelling experience or any idea how to pose. That's my job!

I'll show you where to place your hands, how to stand, which direction to look and how to position your bump beautifully.

Every pose is gently guided, so you can simply relax.

Step Three

Creating Beautiful Variety

Depending on your collection, I'll create different looks using a selection of gowns, backdrops and flattering poses.

From elegant, timeless portraits to soft and natural moments, the aim is to give you a beautiful variety of images celebrating your pregnancy.

Make It Your Own

More Than Just Beautiful Bump Portraits

Including Your Loved Ones

Your partner and children are welcome to join you for beautiful family portraits during your maternity session.

These moments of connection often become some of the most treasured photographs in your gallery.

Adding an Outdoor Experience

My Deluxe Maternity Collection also includes the opportunity to create outdoor portraits at beautiful nearby locations, including a pond settings.

It's a lovely way to combine timeless studio portraits with a completely different natural look.

Your Experience Matters

You don't need to know what to do. You just need to enjoy the moment.

Every maternity session is tailored to help you feel relaxed, supported and celebrated. There's no pressure to be a model or have everything figured out. I'll take care of the posing and the little details, so you can enjoy this special chapter before your baby arrives.
