Whether you’re a fan of the spooky or the whimsical, Halloween offers endless possibilities for memorable pictures. Taking your own Halloween photos is such a fun family activity but instead of opting for the usual rushed snaps before you go trick or treating this year, why not go all out and try your own Halloween mini shoot!

Although older people and those with pre-existing medical conditions (such as diabetes, asthma and heart disease) are more vulnerable to becoming severely ill with COVID-19, the virus can infect people of all ages.  Newborns and pregnant women are always considered at risk and therefore we must collectively protect each other. I want to re-assure all of my clients that I follow good hygiene practice at all times to keep you and your babies safe, but at this time, I would like to take a moment to re-iterate the most important points and a couple of extra measures that I have put in place for To View More >>

Amanda was a little nervous when she arrived for her bump photoshoot, but as the session progressed and we got to know each other, she really relaxed and actually enjoyed the session, so much that she left me a little review on Facebook:  "Had our maternity shoot with Jackie. Was nervous but Jackie made me feel really at ease and the pictures we received are lovely. Looking forward to newborn shoot once baby arrives. Thank you Jackie" I think you'll agree, she had nothing to worry about - she looks gorgeous! To View More >>

It's always a privilege to share in our client's treasured moments, and especially when you get to see them again to capture more of those special memories for them.  We photographed Nikii and Peter's wedding a few years ago, so when I heard they were expecting a sibling for little Daniel, I was super excited for them and delighted to photograph Nikii and her beautiful bump. Daniel was excited too and couldn't wait to tell me all about his new baby brother (and his dumper truck!). Here are some of my favourites from their photo session.
