The Maternity Experience
You’re growing a whole person. You’re exhausted, emotional, and somehow more beautiful than you’ve ever been, even if you can’t quite see it yet.
This season is fleeting in a way that’s hard to explain until it’s over. The bump that felt so big, so present, so all-consuming, gone in a moment.
These photographs are how you hold onto it.
Your Emberwood maternity session is softly guided and completely stress-free. I’ll direct every pose so you never have to wonder what to do with your hands. And because the last thing you need is another thing to organise, my client wardrobe is stocked with luxe, flowing pieces selected to photograph beautifully at every stage of pregnancy, available to every Emberwood client at no extra cost.
More than how pregnancy looks, this experience preserves how it feels.
Three collections are available below. Each one is all-inclusive with no session fees, no hidden costs and no surprises.

The Process
OUR JOURNEY TOGETHER
1.Book & Prepare
Once you have chosen your experience, your session date is secured with a $250 non-refundable booking fee and completed booking forms. From there I will be in touch to confirm all the details and answer any questions you may have, ensuring you feel supported and fully prepared ahead of your session so you can arrive and simply enjoy the moment.
2.the session
As your session approaches, I’ll be in touch to confirm final details, including timing and any weather considerations. On the day, your experience is calm, unhurried, and guided with care. The remaining balance is due seven days prior to your session, allowing you to arrive fully present and enjoy the moment.
3.Gallery Viewing & Selection
The most exciting part; your private online viewing gallery is delivered within 2–3 weeks of your session. You’ll be invited to select the images included in your collection, with the option to upgrade if you wish. Each image is then carefully refined in line with the Emberwood aesthetic.
4.Final Delivery
Once your selections are complete, your final images are lovingly prepared and delivered via digital download. Any printed artwork or keepsakes are ordered with care, and additional prints or products can be purchased; allowing you to create a collection that feels beautifully complete.
