First time parents
This in home maternity session was so fun! There is something so special about capturing the excitement of first time parents. Maternity sessions at home have a relaxed vibe which I love and they complement at home newborn sessions so well too!

You might be wondering...
When should I schedule a maternity session?
What should we wear for our session?
How long will my maternity session take?
I recommend booking your session with me once you are in your second trimester. I only take a limited number of maternity sessions a month to ensure that my clients get their preferred dates. Generally maternity sessions are scheduled between 28-36 weeks pregnant.
My maternity sessions take between 60 and 90 minutes. This gives us lots of time for wardrobe changes and photographing in different rooms. When siblings are involved, they tend to go closer to 90 minutes.
Once you have booked a date with me, I will send you my session prep guide which includes lots of information on what to wear. Neutrals and softer colours are always a great option. However if your home has a richer colour scheme then coordinating with that will also be great! For maternity sessions, I recommend choosing a few options. For example, a super cute bralette/panty set with an oversized shirt/sweater, some comfy jean and even a dress you feel beautiful in! It's nice to get a bit of variety in your session to give you more options to choose from.
Are siblings and pets welcome?
YES!! My sessions involve the whole family. If your pets want to cooperate then the more the merrier!
Claire did an absolutely amazing job with our newborn photos. It was such a calming experience having the photos done at our house. Claire put us all at ease, and the final output is perfect!

We had a great experience with Claire and were very happy with our newborn photos. Claire took her time during our session to ensure we got many different photos in the best locations in our house. She was also a pleasure to work with.

We booked Claire for a maternity shoot and newborn shoot, and she was incredible to work with. She was easy to communicate with, helped us at every step and was quick to turnaround our photos. Everything she took turned out amazing and we’re so pleased with the results
We are so happy we found Claire and can’t wait to do more family sessions with her in the future!

Our most precious photos of our little one were taken by Claire. What makes her a special photographer in my mind is her patient and calm approach, the connection she is able to make with kids (they love her!) and her knack for capturing those perfect moments or expressions (the photos of our baby's sleep smile or him sticking his tongue out at us immediately come to mind). Thanks again Claire!

Claire captured some really special moments for our family during a maternity family session in a beautiful park as well as a newborn session at our home. She is incredible to work with, really bringing out the personalities in our children. Plus, she has a great personality which made our photo sessions really fun! For all these reasons I highly recommend Claire!

Claire is the best! We love the photos of our daughter! I was a bit apprehensive about a newborn session since it's such a stressful time, but she made everything relaxed and easy. Highly recommended!
