This bump deserves its own movie moment

Bold, art-led maternity photography that puts the leading lady exactly where she belongs - front and centre.

You're growing a whole human being. When did you last do something for you?

Here's the thing nobody tells you: pregnancy is the one time in your life when everyone is looking at you, celebrating you, bringing you food - and somehow, you still end up with zero good photos of yourself.

Your partner has thirty-seven blurry ones from their phone. Your mum took a few at your baby shower. And you - the person whose body is literally performing a miracle right now - have nothing that shows how extraordinary you actually are.

That's what I'm here for.

A Sugar Shot Studio maternity session isn't just a photoshoot. It's a whole experience - gorgeous gowns, guided posing so you never have to wonder what to do with your hands, and a photographer who thinks you are the most beautiful person in the room (because you are). You'll walk away with portraits that look like fine art and feel like you.

Whether you want bold and dramatic, soft and intimate, or something completely your own - I'm here for all of it. This is your session. We do it your way.

The Experience

Every mother is unique, so your session will be tailored to your style, comfort, and vision.

Styling & Wardrobe

Fluffy coats, jewelled gowns, flowing fabrics, statement pieces - things you wouldn't have an excuse to wear otherwise. This is your excuse. All included, all yours for the session.

Guided Posing

Never modelled before? Perfect. I'll guide you through every pose and angle so you feel relaxed, confident, and completely yourself. No awkward standing around wondering what to do with your arms.

Luxe Retouching

Fine Art Editing With 18+ Years of Experience. True colour, always. Your portraits will be vivid, alive, and completely you - not filtered, not muted, not covered in a preset. Each image is individually edited and finished to a standard I'd be happy to see in a magazine.

Portrait Artwork

From fine-art prints to heirloom albums, your portraits deserve to be seen and cherished,

not hidden away on a screen. Together we’ll create artwork that fits beautifully

into your home.

A Little About How I Edit

Your portraits. Your call.

I spend real time on every single image. Not a preset slapped over the top and called done - each photo is individually edited, colour corrected, and finished to a standard I'd be happy to see in a magazine.

For maternity and women's portrait sessions, that includes the kind of retouching most photographers don't offer. Temporary blemishes gone. Skin tone evened out so everything looks harmonised and natural. And if there's something specific making you hesitant to be in front of the camera - stretch marks, a scar, anything that would pull your eye every time you looked at the photo - we can talk about it. If you want it removed, I can do that. If you want it kept exactly as it is, I do that too.

Your portraits. Your call. No judgement either way.

The goal is always the same: you, looking like yourself, on the best day you've ever had.

Timing

When should you book?

The sweet spot for maternity sessions is between 28 and 34 weeks - when your bump is beautifully round and you're still comfortable enough to move around and have fun. But every pregnancy is different, and I'm flexible. If your timeline doesn't fit that window, get in touch and we'll make it work.

For motherhood sessions with your newborn or baby, any time is a beautiful time. Think about where your little one is at - those milestones shape the kinds of shots we can create together.

Your Questions, Answered

When should I book my maternity session?

The sweet spot is 28-34 weeks, when your bump is full and beautiful and you're still comfortable. But every pregnancy is different - get in touch and we'll find what works for you.

What do I wear?

You don't need to bring a thing (unless you want to). You'll have full access to my curated client wardrobe - gowns, fabrics, statement pieces, and textures chosen to make every woman feel extraordinary, whatever her size or style.

Can my partner or children join me?

Absolutely. We'll capture portraits of you first, then bring in the people who love you most.

Do I need to know how to pose?

Not even a little bit. Guiding you is literally my job. You just show up and trust me - that's all you need to do.

What if I'm not sure about my style?

That's exactly what your pre-session consultation is for. We'll talk through your vision - or help you find one - before you ever step in front of my camera.

Will my photos be retouched?

Yes. Every image you select is individually edited, not just filtered. For maternity sessions this includes skin tone evening, temporary blemish removal, and any specific retouching you'd like. If there's something you're self-conscious about, just tell me and we'll sort it out. If you'd prefer a more natural finish, that's completely fine too. Your portraits, your call.

"Hannah has photographed our engagement photos and more recently my maternity shoot.

She is not only a close friend, but extremely talented in her photography. Hannah’s speciality is capturing natural images in those special moments and she gives direction to help with the best ways to pose,

and different things to try. She also has an eye for detail and works to capture individual personalities in the images she takes. Having photos taken can be nerve-wracking and awkward, but both of our shoots have been fun and included plenty of giggles and fun, she even allowed us to include our fur baby and have input into different props and things we wanted to bring along. Our images reflect us and our story and we are so thankful for the special memories captured by Hannah. We look forward to more photo opportunities in the future."
