CLASSIC, BEAUTIFUL MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY 

Show your children how proud you were to be growing them

I was quite nervous about having a pregnancy photoshoot but Cate was amazing and made me feel so comfortable. 
It was such a great experience and the gallery she created just blew me away! 
I love all my pictures and can't wait to show them to my daughter when she's older

How does it work?
First you pay the booking cost (50% of total cost) to hold your chosen time slot
Then you pay the remaining 50% the day before your booked session

The session will last about 1.5-2 hours and allow time for lots of tea and toilet breaks.
We will take a variety of images in different outfits on different backgrounds
I have many dresses for you use. You can of course choose if you'd like nudes or not.
You're more than welcome to bring your partner, other children and pets to be in the images or just hang out in the studio with us.

I will then see you again a week or so later so you can choose your favourite 5 or choose to upgrade your package.
You will view a fully edited gallery of 15-20 images for you to choose from.
I will then give you your chosen digital files and order your beautiful prints for you.

If I could give more than 5* I would! Cate is an absolute artist and I'm so in love with my maternity pictures. 
Cate and her studio were both so lovely and I honestly can't recommend her enough

FAQ

You will want to get in touch as early as possible and book your session for when you're 28-34 weeks pregnant.

What if i'm feeling nauseous or tired?
It's very likely that you'll be feeling tired but you will be able to have a sit or lay down as often as you like.
at 30ish weeks you most likely won't be feeing nauseous anymore but if you do then
I'll do everything I can to make you feel as comfortable as possible in the studio.
You can park right outside the studio building and toilets are right outside the studio door.

Who should I bring?
You may choose to bring whoever you like.
A lot of mums like to do the session by themselves and some like to bring their partners.
If you have other children then I would suggest we take a few pictures with them first then
a partner or relative can take them for a walk or keep them occupied while we do your individual portraits.

What should I bring?
Plain, smart black, white and skin coloured underwear! 
You're also welcome to bring any outfits that you like and props you'd like to include eg, shoes you've bought for the baby etc.

Then I'll invoice you the remaining 50% of the bronze package the day before you
r session. This needs to be paid before the session can commence.
You will have then payed for the full Bronze package and are in no way obliged to pay anything else unless you choose to upgrade your package.
You'll have your gallery viewing session 1 or 2 weeks after your session.
At this meeting you'll view a slideshow of your images and be able to observe the variety and quality of your images.
You'll choose which 5 images you'd like to keep or upgrade your package to include more digital images and prints.
You will also be able to see samples of wall art, frames, print boxes and books.

Payments for package upgrades, wall art and products are made via the card machine in the studio.

Certificates are on display in my studio and available to view upon booking on request.

Yes, 4 years of official photography qualifications as well as additional specialist posing and safety training.

Cate first did my pregnancy shoot back in July and I couldn't have been more delighted with the results. I knew I could expect amazing shots on the day but Cate surpassed herself. Both my husband and I love every photo. She has managed to capture every aspect of this magical moment in photos we will treasure forever. So we asked her to do the shoot for our newborn baby girl and again she did an amazing job. We cannot recommend Cate highly enough. Her personality instantly relaxes you so she captures the best shots of everyone'
