Before the Bloom
A maternity session celebrating the timeless beauty of becoming, and the authentic connection growing within
Pregnancy is wild, powerful, tender—and over in a flash (even if it doesn’t feel that way in the final weeks). These sessions aren’t just about snapping pretty photos—they’re about honouring you in this season of waiting, growing, and becoming.
Whether it’s your first or your fifth, this is a love story in the making. And you deserve to remember what it felt like—not just how it looked.
Forget stiff poses and awkward smiles. We’re doing relaxed, natural, and you to the core. The joy. The anticipation. The glow (even if you feel more “puffy” than radiant—trust me, you’re stunning).
Let’s make some honest-to-goodness magic and document this chapter with images that feel like a deep breath—real, raw, and full of heart.
Why it matters…
These months won’t last—but the way you felt during them? That deserves to be remembered. Not just for you, but for your baby someday. These photos become more than keepsakes—they become part of your story. A way to show your child, “You were loved long before we met you.”
You’ll love this if…
You want to remember how this season felt—not just how it looked.
You’re ready to embrace the beauty in your body, just as it is.
You’re dreaming of a session that’s calm, connected, and centred on you.
You want photos you’ll proudly show your child one day: “This was us before we even met you.”
You love earthy tones, golden light, and storytelling over stiff smiles.
You might not feel radiant right now (hellooo swollen everything)—but trust me, there is something powerful and sacred about this chapter.
These photos won’t just remind you how you looked—they’ll remind you how strong, how connected, how deeply in love with your baby you already were. And one day, that baby will get to see the love story that began before they were even born.
If you’re feeling unsure about stepping in front of the camera right now, you’re not alone. Most of my maternity clients arrive feeling a little self-conscious or uncertain—and leave saying, “I’m so glad I did that.”
With simple guidance and a relaxed pace, we’ll capture your strength, softness, and the quiet anticipation that makes this chapter unforgettable.
This isn’t about curating the perfect Instagram feed. It’s about telling the story of you—right now, before everything changes.
Let’s make it unforgettable and yes, beautiful too.
“We are not the kind of people who love having our photo taken so felt a bit apprehensive, particularly when I was pregnant and not necessarily feeling my best!
Any worries disappeared the minute Nicole started working - she was so encouraging and gave us helpful directions which made everything way less awkward. ”
