Congratulations on your pregnancy! Thank you so much for considering me to photograph this magical time in your life! This amazing news always put a smile on my face and warm my heart. 

A little human growing inside you... A pure miracle of life... What a special time worth capturing to look back to, and to show your child how it all began! The overwhelming joy, love and the very beginning of your child's life... 

My job first and foremost, is to help you feel at ease, relaxed and comfortable. I will then capture the pure essence of love, joy and intimacy between you, the baby to come, your partner and children.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO HAVE A MATERNITY SHOOT DONE?

Maternity sessions are best done between 32-36 weeks, before your little baby prepares itself for birth and moves down into your pelvis, which makes your belly "drop". It is already beautifully rounded and obvious by then, but still comfortable to move around with. Saying that, I am more than happy to take photos of any later stage of your pregnancy as well. 

WHAT TO WEAR?

Feel free to bring several clothing options with you, to get a few different looks! 

I recommend wearing a maternity gown, if you can! Otherwise, if you don't choose to wear a maternity gown, then neutral and pastel colours always blend nicely during the 'golden hour' of sunset and sunrise. I would avoid big distracting prints, patterns or logos at all cost!

You could for example bring a fitted shirt or singlet, or cardigan to frame your belly. A lovely bra/ crop top/ tube top with a sarong or skirt that hangs nicely under your belly. A lovely flowy dress that could be pulled around your belly and would leave a trail behind you. 

Any colourful additions such as gorgeous scarves, jewellery or accessories that you would like to use. 

Please avoid wearing any tight or restricting clothes prior to the shoot, so that you aren't left with any red marks or lines on your skin.

Of all the sessions that I do, births are by far the most emotional and powerful. Birth photography transforms the birth journey into more than just a cherished life memory. It creates the story of your child's birth from the tiniest detail to the sheer emotion shared between parents as they experience love at first sight.

The day your child is born is a day you will remember for the rest of your life.  The first time you hold your child is a moment too important to be captured in a grainy cell phone photo.  

Having been on both sides of the camera when it comes to birth photography, I understand my role to document quietly and unobtrusively. 

As I myself am a mama who had two amazing home birth experiences, I long to support, affirm and celebrate the birth of your baby. 

As an artist and photographer: I long to document these fleeting but powerful moments for you; so that in years from now, when you need to remember how things unfolded, when you walk through the threshold of growing up and growing old, when you need to touch a time that is no longer tangible, your story and your child's story, will be there.  In my work, I look to capture at once, not only the art of birthing, but to document the unfolding story before me  in tasteful and most beautiful way possible. 

I believe in the powerful, transformative nature of birth. It is an intuitive and intense experience. Mamas-to-be often dive deep into the interior of their being during labor, needing the emotional and physical support of their birth team.  I consider it an honor to not only celebrate the power of birth, but the wonderfully strong nature of our bodies.  As a mother of two, I know how important it is to be supported during your labor, and as an artist, and as your photographer,  I look to be a quiet, source of feminine strength.  

Please, be assured that I use discretion when taking and processing your images to ensure that the images you receive are truly heartfelt and tasteful.

Once a birth session has been booked, I clear out my calendar before the baby's arrival so that I am available to be with you at your birth from active labor on. I will be on call, 24/7 from 37 weeks up until your sweet baby is born. Once I arrive, I stay long after your baby is born, supporting and documenting through birth, breath, and first family snuggles.

Call 0487770057 or email maja.emotionalphotography@gmail.com for more information and pricing.

Pouty lips, tiny, wrinkly fingers and toes, dainty eyelashes and whips hair... The smell of the fresh baby is like no other... Those first days of your newborn’s life are some of the most precious. Discovering a love beyond any love you’ve ever experienced. Wanting time to stand still so you can stay in the moment of this overwhelming love, happiness and emotion forever – I totally get it.

By choosing to book a newborn photography session you can capture those tiny details, cute newborn poses and special family moments for you to look back with overwhelming love in years to come. You will receive a totally bespoke photography experience within the comfort of your own home.

Newborn sessions need to be held as soon after birth as possible, therefore the best time to schedule your newborn portrait photography session is within the first 4 – 12 days of your baby arriving. This will ensure that your baby responds to my soothing and posing techniques, that they still have a true newborn look, they are very sleepy and are still curly from being in the womb. Being a mother myself, I can totally relate to how hard it is to get dressed and ready in those first few weeks after your new baby arrives. However, little bubba’s grow so quickly and are generally a lot more sleepy and tolerant of being moved around into different positions in these first few days. Of course, I can capture them up to six weeks as a newborn; however, we won’t be able to achieve those sweet curled up sleepy images.

It is advisable to book a date in the diary as early as possible, ideally at least 3 months in advance of your due date. Once you have a provisional date booked in the diary,  we can alter your session date if your baby is early or late and you will be guaranteed a session within the required timescales.

It usually takes up to four hours to complete your photography session as it is completely led by baby. You will not be rushed as the safety and comfort of your little one and yourself is of paramount importance. Whilst your newborn is soothed and quietly drops off to dreamland, I will patiently combine my photographic style and natural ability to gently handle your baby to create artistic newborn poses and precious lifestyle memories for you to cherish forever.

Newborn photography sessions have been priced differently as they are my specialism and take significantly longer. I have invested significantly in this area and these sessions generally require more post production and time. This is more than just a photography session, it’s a wonderful experience which you’ll remember for years to come.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Even though I mainly use natural light, I set up my mobile studio as well.

I offer a mixture of posed and lifestyle photography for my newborn sessions, with use of props and set ups, and I encourage all members of the family to join in for family photos with baby during our session. 

I typically require you to allow for a minimum of two hours in studio/ shooting time, but sessions can go anywhere up to 4 hours if needed. This all depends on your precious new baby of course! 

Your baby's comfort and safety is my number one priority, and I will take all the time I need to pose baby safely and get every little finger and toe in the perfect position. 

My sessions are run in a relaxed, home environment for you to take the time that you need to comfort, feed and prepare your baby as needed. There is no pressure at all to hurry in any way, and I am more than happy to tend to all of baby's needs during our shoot so that you can get some much needed rest. The more relaxed parents are, the more relaxed baby is, and this is what we want for our shoot to run smoothly.

Thank you so much for considering me to photograph your family! There's nothing I love more than creating heart warming memories of you and your family together that you can all treasure for a lifetime! 

I do lifestyle sessions which are all about who you are as a family. There is no smiling for the camera, no sitting still. Your kids can play, run and have fun. I will give you little games to play as a family to create some magical moments of joy and connection. Your session can be held at one of your favourite outdoor locations, in the comfort of your own home, or a combination of both. If you are unsure where to have your photos taken, I can give you some suggestions and we can work together to work out exactly what look and feel you are after. 

We will do a few posed style photos also, but I do like to focus on the 'moments' more than anything else! 

WHERE WILL THE SESSION TAKE PLACE?

You can have your photos taken in the comfort of your own home, at an outdoor location of your choice or a combination of both. Please note, outdoor sessions take place 2 hours before sunset only. 

WHAT TO WEAR?

Coordinating colours, not matching. Long gone are the days of everyone wearing a white shirt and matching. Instead, pick a couple of colours and choose clothes that will fit in this colour scheme.

Look at your home decor. Do you like bright colours? Neutrals? Since you will be hanging these photos in your house you want to make sure the colours of your clothes go with the colour scheme of your home. 

Don't forget accessories. Accessories not only add to your outfit, but they can be fun to use in photos. Have the man wear a scarf for the woman to hold. Heckles for the kids to play with or hats to hide behind.

Limit patterns. Not everyone in the photo should wear patterns as it may distract the final image. 

Say NO to characters!

Avoid all white or all black clothing.

Textures are your friend.

Loose fitting clothing. The best way to ensure you are relaxed is to wear loose fitting clothing. Something that is too tight or constricting can make photo sessions uncomfortable. But, if your clothing is loose, you will feel like smiling and will be immensely relaxed with your family.

Think classic. These photos will be hanging on your walls and treasured for years to come. By choosing simple, classic clothes you will help give your images a timeless feel. 

WHAT HAPPENS IF IT RAINS OR MY CHILD IS SICK? 

In case of bad weather or sickness we will postpone your photo session at no extra cost. I always keep an eye out for the weather forecast and discusses alternative options if need be. If your child is unwell, please call me preferably 24 hours but latest 2 hours before your session to reschedule. 

HOW EARLY DO I HAVE TO MAKE A BOOKING? 

I only take very limited bookings per month. I recommend getting in touch 4-6 weeks in advance to avoid disappointment.

My Portrait Sessions and Style are very organic. It’s a fine balance between gently directed portraits, so you feel at ease in front of the camera, and a documentation of the real, honest & beautiful you.
