The goodbye & hello package
(Pregnancy & Newborn Bundle)
A thoughtfully curated bundle designed to document both the final weeks of pregnancy and the beautiful early days with your newborn.
This package includes two relaxed portrait sessions — one maternity session and one newborn session — each running for approximately 30 minutes, with flexibility built in to suit how mum and baby are feeling on the day.
Each session includes a minimum of 10 fully edited, high-resolution images, delivered via private online gallery (20 images in total). Maternity galleries are delivered within 2–3 weeks of your session — there’s no need to wait until after your newborn shoot.
Many poses and compositions are intentionally mirrored across both sessions, allowing you to create beautiful, interchangeable comparisons — one with your bump, one with your baby — capturing the transition from one season to the next.

My Process
1.Fill out the form
Introduce yourself and share a few details about the type of session you’re after, where you’re located, and who will be involved. The more I know about you, the better I can tailor the experience.
2.Call or Meet up
Once I’ve received your enquiry, we’ll organise a virtual call or an in-person catch-up (whichever suits you best). This is a chance to chat through your ideas, vision, and any specific details for your session.
3.Picture time
Family sessions are relaxed, easy-going, and focused on genuine connection. I’ll gently guide you where needed, but for the most part I encourage natural interaction and movement. Sessions run for the allocated timeframe, with a flexible approach to ensure we capture the moments that matter most.
4.Delivering photos
Your fully edited, high-resolution portrait gallery will be delivered within 3–4 weeks.
FAQ
What is the payment schedule for The Goodbye & Hello Package?
To secure your maternity session date, a 20% deposit is required at the time of booking.
The remaining balance is due prior to your maternity session. This ensures both sessions within The Goodbye & Hello Package are fully confirmed.
When is the best time to book a maternity session?
Most maternity sessions take place between 28–34 weeks, when your bump is beautifully visible and you’re still feeling relatively comfortable. However, every pregnancy is different — if you’re outside this window, feel free to reach out and we can chat about timing.
When is the best time to photograph our newborn?
Newborn sessions are ideally held within the first 2–3 weeks after birth, while your baby is still very sleepy and settled. That said, beautiful images can be created at any stage — what matters most is capturing this season of life.
What should I wear to my maternity session?
Soft, neutral tones and comfortable outfits photograph beautifully. Flowing dresses, simple layers, and textures work especially well. If you’d like guidance, I’m always happy to offer styling suggestions.
Where do newborn sessions take place?
Newborn sessions can take place in the comfort of your home or at an outdoor location, depending on your preference. I also offer a softly styled alternative space if you'd like the 'at home' feel but not at your own home.We’ll chat through options and decide what feels best for you and your baby.
When will we receive our photos?
Your fully edited, high-resolution gallery will be delivered within 5–7 weeks of your session.
Is travel included?
Travel is included for sessions within the Central Coast.
For sessions outside of the Central Coast region, a $75 travel fee applies.
What is your payment schedule?
A 20% deposit is required to secure your session date.
The remaining balance is due prior to your session.
What if we feel awkward in front of the camera?
That’s completely normal — and honestly, most people feel that way at first. My approach is relaxed and natural, with gentle guidance where needed, so you’re never left wondering what to do. Before long, you’ll forget the camera is even there.
What if my baby is unsettled during the session?
Newborn sessions are designed to move at baby’s pace. If your little one needs feeding, settling, or cuddles, we simply allow time for that. There’s no pressure — the most important thing is that everyone feels calm and comfortable.
What if my toddler doesn’t cooperate?
Toddlers don’t need to “perform” to create beautiful images. I keep sessions relaxed and flexible, allowing space for natural interaction and play. Some of the most meaningful photos come from the in-between moments.
What if I’m not feeling my best during pregnancy?
These sessions are gentle and unrushed, with flexibility built in to suit how you’re feeling on the day. We’ll work at a comfortable pace, and I’ll guide you in ways that feel natural and flattering.
