Pregnancy is one of those experiences that can feel like it's taking forever and going by far too quickly, all at once.
Whether it's your first baby or your fourth, I believe you deserve to have photographs of yourself during this time. Not just of your growing bump, but of you, exactly as you are.
My maternity sessions are relaxed, with plenty of guidance so you never have to wonder what to do in front of the camera. We can photograph you in the studio or outdoors, with your partner and children welcome to join you.
Offering maternity photography across the Hunter Valley, Newcastle and Sydney, I'll help you plan a session that feels comfortable, personal and true to you.
This is the beginning of your child's story, and a chapter of motherhood worth remembering.

We had Christina shot both our maternity and newborn sessions. Both sessions, she was easy to communicate with, professional but also so friendly. She made it a very fun and comfortable environment to take photos and even included our puppy in both shoots. She shared sneak peeks very quickly followed by the whole gallery shortly thereafter. Can’t wait to have another baby so we can work with her again! :)
Have always bought the best model of phones thinking phone photos of my fam are amazing enough. Boy, was I wrong! They do not compare to the beautiful shots Christina takes, she’s the best there is at capturing the perfect moments and on top of that her editing is natural yet divine. Highly recommend!
I cannot recommend highly enough. Christina beautifully captured our maternity and newborn photos. She is so calm, kind and professional and made us feel so relaxed and comfortable. She was an absolute baby whisperer with our newborn and captured the most wonderful pictures of him. I wasn’t sure about having photos taken but I am so glad I did, we now have these precious memories that we will be able to look back on for many years to come.
I generally recommend booking your maternity session for somewhere between 28 and 34 weeks of pregnancy. By this stage, you'll usually have a lovely visible bump while still feeling comfortable enough to enjoy your session.
Every pregnancy is different, though, and we can always plan around how you're feeling. I'd recommend getting in touch during your second trimester to secure your preferred date.
Maternity sessions can take place outdoors or in the studio, depending on the look and feel you'd love for your photographs.
Outdoor sessions are usually scheduled around sunset for that beautiful, soft evening light. I'll help you choose a location that suits the photographs you have in mind, with options across the Hunter Valley, Maitland and Newcastle areas.
You don't need to go shopping for something special unless you'd like to!
You'll have access to my client wardrobe, which includes a selection of maternity dresses chosen for how beautifully they photograph. I can also help coordinate outfits for your partner and children if they're joining us.
Once you've booked, I'll send through a styling guide so we can plan everything together.
Absolutely! Your maternity session is about this chapter of your family's story, and I'd love to include the people sharing it with you.
We can photograph you on your own, with your partner, with your children, or a combination of all three. I'll guide everyone throughout the session, so there's no need to worry about posing.
If we've planned an outdoor maternity session and the weather isn't looking suitable, we'll keep an eye on the forecast and make a decision closer to the day. If the weather is just cloudy we will still go ahead.
If we need to reschedule, we'll work together to find another suitable date. I'd much rather wait for the right conditions than rush through a session in uncomfortable weather.
Of course! Once you've received your completed gallery, you'll have the opportunity to purchase additional photographs or upgrade your collection.
There's no need to make those decisions before your session. You can simply choose what you love once you've seen your photographs.
I'll check out your message and come back to you ASAP.
