Let me start by telling you why I did my maternity photoshoot..


I am a mother to a beautiful and perfect little baby girl. But my pregnancy was far from perfect. A lot of people told me pregnancy is a beautiful thing but I was violently sick for months and I felt the opposite of beautiful. I looked dreadful to be honest. But no matter how sick I was, every month I would take photos of my bump to see how much it grew (as most of us do) and every time I looked at those photos I felt happy, I felt special and I was so proud of my bump. 


My body was doing an incredible thing and I was going to be a mum. I cannot explain how I felt but all I know is that even though that was the sickest I have ever been it was one of the best moments of my life. And if it weren’t for the photos I took I would not remember how I looked or how my bump looked. 


I wanted to have nice photos of my bump but my husband is not a good photographer so I had no choice but to go to a professional. And I do not regret it. The pictures were amazing, I did not look tired or sick and the whole experience was so special. I got my hair and makeup done for the first time in months and I got to wear some beautiful outfits. That was the first time during my pregnancy I felt beautiful. 


I now have some beautiful photos to show my daughter when she is all grown up. I may even show her the photos when she asks me the question ‘Where do babies come from’ and tell her she came from my belly.. 


I never thought I would miss being pregnant but the truth is I do. Today when I look back at those photos I am reminded of all the good and bad things about my pregnancy. I remember every hiccup, every kick, and every jab into my ribs, I remember how sick I was, I remember how happy I was when I felt the first kick and I remember all the sleepless nights I had worrying I did not know how to raise a baby. When I look at the photos of my husband and myself (he wasn’t big on taking the photos but finally agreed - he had no choice.. lol) I remember how good he was to me when I was sick and could not sleep, how he helped me get out of the bed and couch every day and how much he loved and supported me throughout the whole journey. 


I get emotional when I look at my maternity photos because I know I will never experience those moments again. Those photos are the only thing I have to remind me of those 9 months and I am so glad I got them done.

So Why Should You Book a Maternity Photoshoot?


Here are some reasons why you should book your maternity photoshoot with me:

  • To celebrate your pregnancy 
  • A reason to get dressed, do your hair and makeup and look your best (if you were looking for a reason that is) 
  • Professional maternity photos will highlight your beauty no matter how terrible/uncomfortable/bloated you feel…and trust me when I say this the photos will boost your confidence
  • Taking maternity photos together with your partner is a great way to strengthen your bond and celebrate the new life you’re bringing into this world
  • The session is a great time for siblings to take pictures with their pregnant mama and understand that a new baby is coming and it can even get them excited about the baby’s arrival
  • As your child grows you will love to look back on how you had such a tiny human growing inside you, and your maternity photos will be a wonderful reminder of a time long gone.
  • It is a  tremendous gift to give your child when they are older
  • It’s something the whole family will cherish forever

Having maternity photos to look back on will be a standing reminder of that magical time. 

At our maternity session I want to give you photos that you can look back on and see a beautiful, strong and amazing woman who was filled with love and happiness - the mother who couldn’t wait to start the exciting journey with their precious little baby. 


When you book a maternity photoshoot with me it is not about the images, it is about your beauty, your strength, your longingness to meet your baby, the joy you and your partner share and the sheer magic of growing life inside you. 


As a Maternity Photographer my goal is to create an unforgettable experience for your maternity photos.

Send me a message today to book a maternity session! And we can schedule it during the third trimester of your pregnancy.


We could have your Maternity Photoshoot in my studio in Mullingar or any outdoor location of your choice.
