Maternity photography - sunset
“I love to capture pregnancy in a way that is elegant and beautiful, to create stunning photographs that you will feel confident showing to friends and family. ”
Aiming to capture your maternity photos between 25 - 35 weeks
depending how big or small you would like your bump to appear we will schedule your photoshoot as early as 25 weeks and ideally by 35 weeks.
These photoshoots are not just sessions; they're a celebration of the final stages of your pregnancy — FUN, RELAXED, and filled with joy.
We begin by choosing the perfect location, capturing stunning photos during the 'Golden Hour,' when the light is incredibly flattering and soft, especially during sunsets. My all-time favourite spot is Foxton Beach, offering a beautifully uncluttered backdrop. Each session is unique, with ever-changing tides, weather, and lighting.
A little closer to Palmerston North we have other great locations like a pine forest with lush green ground growth or long grass and Toi Toi plants out at Paneiri Park during the summer months and a few lovely areas down by the river too. If you have a different location in mind, feel free to share it. As long as it has good lighting, I'm all for it!"
