I get it — you’re a brand new mum running on no sleep, your body feels completely unfamiliar, your nipples are hanging on for dear life, and the idea of organising or being in front of a camera can feel overwhelming and stressful!
I've got you! The process is simple. Reach out during your second trimester to secure your session, giving us plenty of time to plan ahead before your beautiful new baby arrives.
Once baby is here, we'll choose a date that works for your family and capture those precious early days.
HEARTFELT PHOTOGRAPHY THAT NORISHES THE SOUL
why this matters.................Life moves so quickly. Babies grow, seasons change, and the little moments we think we’ll never forget somehow become blurry over time. FROM MY EXPERIENCE............Having memories captured with my son as a little boy HAS meanT our bond will always have a place to live — not just in my heart, but in something tangible we can look back on forever.
kind words from our clients:
“MOIRA IS so easy to work with and always makes everyone feel comfortable. We absolutely love every photo she takes and can’t recommend her enough!"
“We’ve been going to Moira for all our photos for over 2 years now and honestly wouldn’t go anywhere else. She’s captured so many special memories for us — yearly Mother’s Day shoots, baptisms, birthday Milestones portraits, and parties. I always send her inspo and she somehow makes it even better than I imagined"
– AMY D
“Nothing is ever too hard for Moira, and there’s no mood she can’t turn around. Whether she’s singing Let It Go or cracking a funny joke to get the giggles going, she always makes everyone feel comfortable and at ease.”
– Lauren b
Sessions are designed to feel relaxed, natural and connected, with gentle guidance along the way.
We'll embrace movement, cuddles, play and genuine interactions, allowing beautiful moments to unfold naturally.
I absolutely love observing the connection between parents and their children — the way little hands reach for yours, the laughter and the soulful stares from mum to baby. Seeing the love you have for your children is what inspires me, and it's that love I want to capture and preserve for you. The result is a gallery filled with heartfelt images that capture the joy of the moment and that truly feel like you and your family.

Can the Session Fee be re funded?

When is the best time to have newborn photos?
If you're hoping for those peaceful, sleepy newborn images, it's ideal to have your session within the first two weeks after birth. During this time, babies tend to be sleepier and more settled, making it easier to capture those beautiful curled-up poses that parents love to remember. I also find many babies develop a little hormonal rash or baby acne after the two-week mark, which is completely normal. That said, please don't worry if those first couple of weeks slip by in a blur of feeds, cuddles and very little sleep. Whether your baby is two weeks old, one month old or beyond, the memories you create together are just as precious, and every stage of your family's story is worth capturing.
When is the best time for an outdoor photo shoot?
Most of my sessions take place during golden hour — that dreamy hour before sunset when the light is soft, golden and oh-so-flattering. I know this timing can sometimes fall close to dinner, bath or bedtime for little ones, but trust me, it's worth it! A slightly later nap or some quiet time beforehand can work wonders. Most children love being outdoors exploring nature, and the beautiful golden light creates the perfect backdrop for your photos.
