This is my baby… Ollie. I took these photos las This is my baby… Ollie.

I took these photos last February and they are already so nostalgic to me. So many things about him I already miss. The chubby thighs, the pudgy hands, the fluffy hair, little fingers and toes.

I’m can’t thank myself enough for taking the time to capture these details which at the time where just part of my everyday, but now I love to relive over and over.

And I’m really excited to share that while I’m on my maternity leave I’ll be working to set up my own home studio so I can capture details like this in a relaxed, warm and light filled space (no matter the weather) for you too. I’ll be booking studio sessions from October onwards and they are particularly perfect for maternity, motherhood, newborn, and baby sessions.

If you’d love to be one of the first to book I’ll be offering special pricing until the end of the year. Limited spaces left for Oct-Dec. DM or email for more info or to book.

Another little snippet from my Mothers Day Minis… it’s that giggly little face in the last one that gets me 🥰

Don’t forget to soak up these moments and document them so you can relive them forever and ever…
After your feedback on Stories I’ve decided to h After your feedback on Stories I’ve decided to have a little session SALE to celebrate my most recent chapter of restarting my photography business in Australia the past 6 months.

I will have a limited number of Nov-Dec sessions available with 50% off my session booking + creative fee.

If you’d love to be one of the few who get their hands on a sale session turn on post notifications and keep an eye out for my posts over the next few days when I will release the sessions for bookings!

If you’d love more info on my pricing in the meantime DM or email me 😊✨
Just over one year ago I started this business. My Just over one year ago I started this business. My son Ollie was 10 months old, we were in the midst of the pandemic and my full time travel blogging work over at @jayde_archives was slow (because a) baby and b) global pandemic). I needed something to fulfil me creatively and to start earning my income from again. And motherhood photography just came to me naturally. I didn’t think too hard about it or force anything. I opened up a limited number of sessions and was booked out right away. All the local mamas that had followed my travel blogging already liked my photography style and through stories felt like they knew me. And that’s where my first bookings came from.

Since then I’ve had the goal to do at least 1-2 shoots per week (having my son with me most of the time in the beginning meant this is all I could take on). Some weeks that meant finding a friend who wanted a free session. My main goal was not making money, it was gaining experience. And from my previous work in graphic design, marketing and then blogging I knew the only way to get better and find my own style was to practice as often as possible.

Now I scroll back and look at where I started this business and I’m feeling proud of what I’ve created and how I’ve grown. Making sure that no matter how small the step, I did something each and everyday towards growing. Sometimes that means a shoot, sometimes editing, an insta post or educating myself on a new technique or software. All those baby steps add up.

Something else I learnt long ago is that you simply cannot look at someone else’s success (or Instagram) and compare yourself or assume you know their whole story. For example while I started this business around one year ago, I picked up my first DSLR 8 years ago, I taught myself Lightroom around the same time and I’ve been using both on a regular basis ever since. Photography is not new to me, even though what I’m doing with it now is. Social media is also not new to me. 5 years ago I dedicated every waking hour to growing my travel blog and audience, I learnt a lot and I even mentored others at one point. 

So if you’re just starting out, remember baby steps everyday. ❤️
