The Essence – A Postpartum Motherhood Photography Experience
Three Sessions. One Journey. A Quiet Witness to Early Motherhood.
Becoming a mother is a season like no other — tender, overwhelming, intimate, and fleeting.
The Essence is a photography series designed to gently document this transition across the first six weeks of welcoming your baby home.
The Concept
This isn’t just a photo package. It’s a way to slow down, be seen, and remember the in-between.
The Essence includes three relaxed sessions over the first six weeks of postpartum— photographed on film, and always led by what feels right for you. You don’t need to pose, plan, or perform. You just need to show up as you are.
Each session captures a different part of your unfolding story — and together, they create a legacy of your first season as a mother.
What’s Included
• 3 x 90-120 minute lifestyle photography sessions on film
• 30+ high-res images from each session (delivered in an online gallery)
• Sessions can include partners, siblings, pets — or just you & baby
• Gentle guidance, no posing, fully baby-led
• Central Coast, Sydney, Newcastle
Why It Matters
Most of us don’t have many photos from the months we became mothers — only ones of the baby.
The Essence is a way to be part of your own story.
It’s for those who want:
• Real, unfiltered moments
• Connection over perfection
• A quiet record of a time that moves fast and changes everything
