Pregnancy is the most special and unique time in your life. As a fine art photographer and maternity specialist, my aim is to create beautiful and timeless pieces of art that capture the true beauty of each expectant mother.
When to book your maternity portrait experience
Maternity portraits are best created between 30 and 36 weeks when your belly is beautiful and round. The exact week is different for everyone but we recommend you don’t wait too late because you never know when baby might actually arrive. As Alana is often booked out months in advance, we recommend booking 6-8 weeks in advance to secure your ideal week and date. This is especially important if you would like a weekend session.
When pregnant, I had no idea where to find a photographer to capture the upcoming arrival of my first baby, so I searched online. After falling in love with so many of Alana’s images, I booked an appointment for maternity photos. The experience of not worrying about hair, make-up and how to make a large belly as beautiful as it felt took a great deal of stress off me. The results were breathtaking! I’ve been equally impressed with the newborn and 6 month photos she took of my son and our family. Thank you Alana for bringing the art of building a family to life for us, we will always cherish these photos!” C. McLean

Knowing which photographer to choose for you and your baby can be a real challenge. You deserve the absolute best and spotting the difference between professionals and amateurs can be difficult. As a mother and accredited Maternity Portrait photographer, the last thing I want is for your baby in the hands of someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing.

“When working with newborns it is important to find not only an amazing photographer but also a photographer that works amazingly with newborns. Alana has children of her own and her motherly nature shows. She handled our baby as if her own and I was worry free the entire photo shoot. Being a first time mom, everything is scary but having Alana come to our home and work her magic was more than I could have asked for!”
