Maternity and Newborns – Before and After

One thing I love about photography is being able to freeze moments in time! That especially works well for Maternity and Newborns. Being able to capture that moment when you have your little human inside you and then the moment you have your human in your arms on the outside. This is where I love to get creative to come up with a concept for my clients that have booked me for both sessions so we can show this transition artistically and timeless! One of my absolute favourite ones to do is the Maternity Timeline which usually starts around the

Early morning on the 26th May 2019 I got the call to say Rachel’s waters had broken and very shortly after that contractions started so she said to head on down. As this birth was at murwillimbah we wanted to make sure I made it so I left straight away. But this little surprise gender baby didn’t want to wait for anyone at all. Rachel and Rob left home which is 3 mins from the hospital to head in. Meanwhile contractions had only started about an
