Capturing Motherhood

Mini Photo Sessions with Raising Mamas

Motherhood is a journey filled with fleeting moments—those newborn snuggles, sleepy smiles, and the way your baby fits perfectly in your arms. But in the blur of sleepless nights and endless feeds, it’s easy to forget to step in front of the camera and capture the beauty of this season.

That’s why I’m so excited to be partnering with Raising Mamas to offer something truly special for new mums on the Sunshine Coast: Motherhood Mini Photo Sessions. These sessions are designed to give mums the chance to step into the frame with their baby—without the pressure of a full photoshoot.

What Are Motherhood Mini Sessions?

As part of your Raising Mamas mothers’ group experience, you’ll have the opportunity to step in front of my camera for a short but meaningful session with your baby. In just five minutes, I’ll capture the warmth, connection, and love between you and your little one—giving you beautiful, natural images that will become treasured keepsakes.

These aren’t posed, studio-style portraits. My approach is relaxed, candid, and focused on real moments—a gentle touch, the way your baby looks up at you, the love in your eyes as you hold them close.

Why Every Mum Deserves to Be in the Frame

Too often, mums are the ones behind the camera, snapping pictures of their baby’s milestones but rarely appearing in them. These mini sessions are designed to change that.

Motherhood is beautiful, even in its messy, exhausting, and raw moments. The connection you have with your baby right now—whether they’re just a few weeks old or starting to smile and giggle—is something you’ll want to remember forever. These photos will capture:

• The deep bond between you and your baby

• The tiny details—little fingers wrapped around yours, sleepy cuddles, or bright, curious eyes

• The love and strength of motherhood in its purest form

Years from now, when your baby has grown, these images will be a reminder of this fleeting season—of the way they fit perfectly in your arms, the way they nestled into your shoulder, and the way you looked at them with so much love.

What to Expect: A Simple, Stress-Free Experience

I know that life as a new mum is busy and overwhelming, so I want to make this as effortless as possible.

Here’s how it works:

✔️ Your session takes place during your Raising Mamas mothers’ group—no need to book separately.

✔️ No pressure, no stress—just show up and enjoy a few moments of connection with your baby.

✔️ In just 5 minutes, I’ll capture a handful of beautiful, natural images.

✔️ You’ll receive stunning, high-quality photos to cherish forever.

How to Prepare for Your Mini Session

No need for elaborate planning, but here are a few simple tips to help you feel your best:

1. Keep it simple with clothing. Soft, neutral tones and comfortable outfits work best. Think of something you feel good in—whether that’s a cozy knit, a flowy dress, or a simple top.

2. Focus on connection, not perfection. These images are about capturing love and emotion, not perfect poses. Snuggle, laugh, and just be in the moment with your baby.

3. Relax and enjoy. There’s no need to worry about whether your baby is looking at the camera or smiling—some of the most meaningful photos come from the in-between moments.

A Lifetime of Memories in Just a Few Minutes

The beauty of photography is that it freezes time. While the newborn phase passes in the blink of an eye, these images will let you hold onto this chapter forever.

Whether you frame them, keep them in a photo album, or simply look back at them on a hard day—these photos will remind you of how special, strong, and deeply loved you are as a mother.

Don’t let this season slip by unrecorded. If you’re part of a Raising Mamas group, I can’t wait to meet you and capture these precious moments.

Let’s create something beautiful together.
