Maternity & Motherhood
Pregnancy and motherhood are easily one of the most life-changing events that could happen to a woman. And it is truly one of the most beautiful.
Capturing the beauty, strength, and joy of this time through the art of photography is something I am so passionate about and I can't wait to photograph you.
The Process
When to Book
The best time to book your maternity session is between 29 and 35 weeks. You will be fairly mobile at this time and have a beautiful belly. However, if your schedule doesn't fit within this timeframe, let me know and we can work within your timeline. For motherhood sessions, anytime is a good time to book however, definitely think about what stage your baby is at. Are they a newborn? Can they hold their head up? Can they sit unassisted? The answers to these questions will determine the images we can get from our time together.
BRING YOUR CHERISHED MEMORIES BACK TO LIFE
Bring your cherished memories back to life. Whether it’s a faded childhood photo, a torn wedding portrait,
or a treasured family snapshot, I carefully restore your precious images so you can enjoy them for generations. Every photo is handled with care and respect, and I work to restore each image as beautifully as possible.
WHY PHOTO RESTORATION?
Photos capture moments that matter. Over time, they can fade, tear, or suffer from damage, but restoration can bring those memories back.
While I can repair many types of damage, some photos may be too fragile or deteriorated to restore fully. I’ll always provide a professional assessment and let you know what’s realistically possible, so you can make an informed decision.
I restore:
-
Faded or discolored photos
-
Torn or creased prints
-
Water or sun damage
-
Scratches and missing pieces
-
Black & white or colour images
THE EXPERIENCE
Restoring your photo is simple and stress-free.
Here’s what to expect:
HOW IT WORKS
Bringing your cherished photos back to life is easier than you might think. You can drop them off at my home studio, post them to me, scan them yourself (just make sure it’s a high-resolution image), or even send me a photo of your photo so I can give you an approximate quote before you
make the trip or arrange postage.
Once I receive your image, I carefully look over its condition and plan the best way to restore it. Using professional-grade scanning and digital restoration tools, I gently repair tears, creases, scratches, fading, and other damage—always keeping the heart and character of the original photo intact.
You’ll have three colour options to choose from: original colours, black & white, or full colourisation for black-and-white images.
I work closely with you to make sure the final image feels natural and true to your memory.
When your restoration is complete, you’ll receive a high-resolution digital file that’s perfect for saving, sharing, or printing. If you’d like a physical print, these are available separately and can be tailored to the size and finish you prefer. Throughout the process, your original photo is handled with the utmost care and returned safely, so you can enjoy it for years to come.
