Your maternity + newborn + family experience
FROM BUMP TO BEYOND
There's a whole season of your life happening right now that you'll only get to live through once. The bit where they're coming turns into they're here. Where you go from feeling every kick to counting every tiny finger. That's the season I photograph — start to finish, not in pieces.
Where We Both Begin is my favourite thing I offer, and honestly, it's the one almost every mumma ends up wishing she'd booked from the start.
Here's how it goes: maternity first. Round and glowing and closer to the biggest moment of your life than it probably feels. Then a few weeks later, with your newborn. Your little family, together, in the slow, overwhelming, everything-smells-like-milk early days. And if you want, we pick it back up again around the one-year mark to see how far you've all come.
You'll want all of it. Eighty-year-old you is definitely going to want all of it.
This is just me making sure you don't have to choose.
Maybe you're
WONDERING...
"I'm awkward in photos."
You don't have to know what to do. I'll gently guide and prompt you through the whole experience.
"I don't feel like myself."
That's something I hear all the time and it's exactly why creating a calm, supportive environment matters so much to me.
"Is it really worth it?"
I truly believe one day you'll be so grateful you did this and will have memories of this time.
Kind words from other mums
Felt calm
“Nastassjia was lovely to communicate with and made the whole experience enjoyable as she calmly guided us from beginning to end, helping us decide on the perfect location and outfits for the day.”
Welcoming
“Nastassjia has such a creative eye and gently guides you into flattering, natural photos that feel like you.”
PeAceful
“Looking at the photos now, I’m continually struck by how well she captured not just how it looked, but how it felt.”

Why Bundle?
THE BIT THAT JUST MAKES SENSE
If you booked a full gallery maternity on its own, and then came back separately for newborn, you'd be looking at two full-price sessions - $2,300 all up. Two separate bookings, two separate deposits, two separate lots of "wait, what do I wear again?"
Booked together, it's one yes and you save $500. One deposit. One experience that celebrates your first year and everything that you got through like all the 2am googling, the 'what if's', the tears, overwhelming days and all of the love. Plus, when you choose Where We Both Begin now, your pricing for a first-year family session is locked in at today's rate even if my prices go up before you're back in front of my camera with a walking, opinionated one-year-old. Future you says thanks.
The
PROCESS
1. You say yes. Hit reply, and I'll lock in your date with a $200 booking fee. That's it, I take it from here.
2. We plan it together. Your welcome email lands with everything you need; styling tips, what to expect, how to prep. Any questions along the way, I'm right here.
3. Your session day. We meet, we chat and I guide you through it. You don't need to know how to pose or what to do with your hands. I promise, I've got you.
4. Choosing your favourites. Within 1–2 weeks, your selection gallery is ready. Grab a snack, this is the fun bit.
5. Your gallery arrives. Your final images land in your private portal 2–3 weeks after you choose. Yours, forever.
