NÀDARRA MATERNITY SESSIONS

life’s new chapter - motherhood

Maternity is a heartfelt journey filled with love and joy, yet it also demands immense physical strength and emotional resilience, as the body changes, sleep wanes, and the mind navigates the weight of new responsibilities. It’s an extraordinary journey of bringing new life into the world. Take this moment to document your strength, beauty, and connection between you and your unborn baby, capturing the anticipation, excitement, and even the challenges that come. Leaving one chapter of your life, and onto the new. Let’s honour the incredible journey of motherhood.

I want to make you feel like the goddess you are

on the day

My goal is to provide an experience that goes beyond the challenges and discomforts and allowing you to embrace the powerful, radiant goddess that we all see. Whether it’s a quiet, intimate moment between you and your bump, a tender connection shared with your partner, or a celebration of family as you prepare to welcome new life, your maternity session is a reflection of you and the miracle unfolding.

The best time to book your maternity shoot is typically between 28 to 36 weeks of pregnancy. During this window, your bump is beautifully round and prominent, but you’re still comfortable enough to move and enjoy the session without feeling too fatigued.
If you’re expecting twins or have a high-risk pregnancy, you may want to schedule your session a little earlier, around 26 to 32 weeks, to ensure you're feeling your best.
Ultimately, the ideal timing depends on how you feel—you want to be able to embrace the moment and celebrate this chapter while still feeling confident and comfortable. If you have a specific vision for your photos or a particular season in mind, it’s best to book early to secure your preferred date!
The key is to embrace flowing, ethereal fabrics and organic textures that evoke a sense of natural beauty and femininity. Here’s what works best:
- Flowy Dresses or Gowns – Choose soft, billowing silhouettes that move beautifully and enhance the goddess-like feel. Long, draping fabrics like chiffon, tulle, or linen create an effortless, dreamy aesthetic.
- Earthy, Neutral Tones – Soft whites, warm beige, muted sage, burnt orange, deep rust, or dusty browns all complement nature and bring an organic, grounded elegance to the shoot.
- Barefoot or Minimal Footwear – If shooting outdoors or in a natural setting, going barefoot adds an ethereal touch and enhances the connection to the environment.
- Delicate Accessories – A floral crown, subtle gold jewelry, or lace detailing can add to the whimsical, goddess-like energy without overpowering the look.
- Off-the-Shoulder or Draped Styles – To showcase the curves of pregnancy, consider off-the-shoulder gowns or fabric draped elegantly over your body for a raw yet romantic feel.
- Knitted or Textured Wraps – A cozy, soft knit wrap or shawl can add warmth and texture, making the images feel intimate and organic.
The most important thing is to wear something that makes you feel powerful, radiant, and deeply connected to this chapter of your life. When you feel comfortable and confident, that energy naturally shines through the lens!
We can go to a beautiful secluded spot in Perthshire. We are so lucky to be next to so many beautiful woodlands and rivers, that make the most stunning backdrops for your photos. We can either use one of those, stay in the comfort of your own home or venture somewhere special if you have a particular location in mind! The world is your oyster.
