Pregnancy after 40 is a unique and beautiful journey, especially when it’s your first. Whether your path to motherhood was smooth or filled with twists and turns, one thing is certain: this moment is worth celebrating.

As a maternity photographer, I’ve had the privilege of photographing many strong, radiant women who are welcoming their first baby a little later in life. And let me tell you, these sessions are some of the most meaningful.

This Is Your Time

Maybe you’ve waited for this chapter. Maybe it came as a surprise. However your story has unfolded, your pregnancy is a powerful testament to your strength, patience, and love. You’ve earned this celebration. You deserve to be seen, honoured, and remembered, right now, exactly as you are.

“I’m Not Photogenic…”

I hear this all the time, and you’re definitely not alone if you’re thinking it. Many of the women I photograph come in feeling nervous or unsure and leave saying they can’t believe how beautiful they look. One of my favourite parts of every session is that moment when a mom-to-be sees her portraits and falls in love with herself.

You don’t need to know how to pose or what to do in front of the camera. I’ll gently guide you every step of the way, so you feel relaxed, confident, and radiant!

More Than Just a Baby Bump

Your maternity session isn’t just about your belly (though that part is magic too!). It’s about documenting the anticipation, the love that’s already growing, and the pride you should feel in what your body is doing. These portraits become a celebration of you—your story, your strength, your joy.

A Timeless Gift

When your little one is old enough to ask about the time before they were born, these images will help you tell that story. They’ll show the love and wonder that surrounded them even before their first breath. And for you, they’ll be a reminder of just how incredible this chapter was.

Let’s Make It Happen

If your due date is just around the corner or you’re still early on, I’d love to help you plan your perfect maternity session. I currently offer complimentary maternity sessions when booking a newborn session, so it’s a lovely way to capture the full story from bump to baby.
