About the Photographer

20 Years of Experience

I specialise in maternity photography — capturing the quiet, powerful beauty of pregnancy with a fine art approach that celebrates connection and anticipation. Based in Christchurch, I work with expecting mothers to design relaxed, authentic pregnancy photoshoots in the studio or on location. My aim is to create images that feel timeless: elegant bump photography that becomes a treasured part of your family’s story. Why choose me for your maternity session? I am an award-winning photographic artist and teacher who brings years of experience, sensitivity and a calm, reassuring manner to every booking. Your comfort and safety come first; I take time in a pre-shoot consultation to understand how you want to be photographed, the style you love and any practical needs you have. Sessions are tailored — whether you prefer classic studio lighting and clean fine-art imagery or the earthy, natural tones of an outdoor location. My maternity photoshoots are crafted as a complete creative experience. After your session you’ll return for a viewing and design appointment where we present your images in a cinematic slideshow and help you choose the artworks you’ll cherish — framed prints, canvases, albums or folio box collections. I don’t leave you with a folder of files you never print; my focus is on producing heirloom-quality pieces that you and your family will enjoy every day. Practical details handled with care: I’ll advise on the best timing for your pregnancy photoshoot (typically around 32–35 weeks), suggest wardrobe options and recommend locations that match your vision. Partners and children can be included if you wish, creating images that celebrate the whole family’s excitement. Professional editing and artisan production ensure the final artworks are of the highest standard, and I offer personalised delivery for Christchurch clients. If you want maternity photos that are both beautiful and meaningful — fine art pregnancy photography created with warmth, skill and attention to detail — let’s talk. I’ll guide you through a relaxed, enjoyable process that results in stunning maternity photos and lasting artworks you’ll be proud to display.
