I’ve had the pleasure of working with Joanna several times before, so when she called me one day and said she was expecting her first baby and wanted to do a maternity session, I was absolutely thrilled! I was so excited that I even ordered a few new dresses for the occasion. Knowing Joanna’s passion for fitness and a healthy lifestyle, we decided to keep the session very natural—in terms of settings, colour palette, and poses. We chose Richmond Park as our location, which happens to be one of my favourite spots for maternity sessions. 

As usual, the best photos from the session were the ones where the camera wasn’t the focus. Joanna and Roree were completely absorbed in each other. There was a genuine sense of love and affection between them. I was able to capture those raw, emotional moments where they were just being themselves, and that’s where the magic happened.

This maternity session was very important to me as Joanna is my long-time friend. There was such a powerful, emotional energy throughout the session, and I felt truly honoured to be part of it. Maternity shoots like this are something I would highly recommend to anyone looking to commemorate this special time in their life. The journey of life starts long before birth, and capturing these early moments is just as important as the ones that follow. It was a beautiful experience, and I’m so grateful to Joanna and Roree for allowing me to share in this journey with them.
