Pregnancy is such a fleeting season, full of anticipation, change and so much love for someone you haven’t even met yet. My maternity sessions are relaxed and gently guided, giving you space to feel comfortable while we capture the connection between you, your partner and your growing family. These are photographs to look back on and remember not just how you looked, but how this beautiful chapter felt.

WHAT TO EXPECT
My Approach
Your maternity session should feel like you — relaxed, natural and full of connection.
I’ll gently guide you through your session with simple prompts and movement rather than asking you to hold stiff poses. Whether it’s just the two of you or your whole family, we’ll make space for the little moments in between — the cuddles, the laughs, the quiet moments and all the excitement of meeting your baby.
You don’t need to know what to do in front of the camera. That’s my job. I’ll guide you throughout while giving you plenty of space to simply enjoy this special season together.
The result is a collection of beautiful, timeless photographs that capture not only how this chapter looked, but how it felt.
Maternity Photography Investment
This season of pregnancy passes by so quickly, and the photographs we create together become even more meaningful with time. They’re a way to remember not only how you looked, but how it felt to be waiting for your little one.
To give you complete flexibility, session fees and image collections are purchased separately. This allows you to choose the session length that best suits you and your family, while only purchasing the images you truly love after viewing your gallery.

What Families are saying
Kind words from families I've had the joy of photographing
Anna
We had our maternity photos done with Nakita, a last minute decision that we are so grateful we did ! They turned out better than we could have expected, just 15 minutes on the beach and 2 days later 100 pictures to choose from. She captured a special time in our life’s so perfectly <3
Ready to Book?
Pregnancy has a way of flying by, and before you know it, your little one will be here. Your maternity session is a chance to slow down and document this special season before everything changes.
I recommend getting in touch during your pregnancy so we can find a date that works well for you and your family. Maternity sessions are usually photographed between 30 and 36 weeks, but every pregnancy is different, so we'll choose a time that feels right for you.
Once your session is booked, I'll take care of the rest - from helping you choose a location to guiding you through the session itself. You don't need to know how to pose or have everything planned; I'll be there to make the experience relaxed and easy.
Whether you're ready to book or just have a few questions, I'd love to hear from you. Together, we'll create a beautiful collection of photographs that captures this fleeting chapter before your little one arrives.

Maternity Photo FAQs
When should I have my maternity photos taken?
I generally recommend between 30 and 36 weeks, when your bump is beautifully visible but you're still feeling relatively comfortable. Every pregnancy is different, though, so we'll choose a timeframe that feels right for you.
When should I book my maternity session?
I recommend getting in touch during your pregnancy so we can reserve a date that works for you. The earlier you book, the more flexibility we'll have with dates and locations.
Can my partner and children be included?
Absolutely. Your maternity session is about your growing family, so partners and children are always welcome. We'll make sure we capture both beautiful photographs of you and plenty of moments together.
What should I wear?
I'll send you my styling guide after booking with suggestions to help you choose outfits that photograph beautifully. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and like yourself.
Where will my session take place?
I'll help you choose a location based on the look you're after, the season and what works best for your family. I have a selection of beautiful outdoor locations around Dunedin that I can recommend.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Don't worry, we'll keep an eye on the forecast and I'll be in touch if we need to make a call about the weather. If necessary, we'll find another date that works.
Can we include our dog?
Yes! Just let me know when booking so I can recommend a suitable location.
Do I need to know how to pose?
Not at all. I'll guide you throughout your session with simple prompts and gentle direction. You don't need to practise poses beforehand — that's my job.
Can I book a maternity and newborn session together?
Absolutely. If you're planning both, let me know when you enquire and we can make sure there's space around your due date for your newborn session too. I also can offer a discounted rate for the two bookings.
What happens if my baby arrives earlier than expected?
That's completely okay. Babies don't always stick to the plan! Just let me know when your baby arrives and we'll work around your new arrival and choose a suitable date if your session needs to be adjusted.
