Maternity & newborn

Celebrate the journey, not just the moment.

“If you’re on the fence about booking a session, please just do it. Kate will transform you into a goddess in what I can only describe as pure magic.”

Susan, Langley

Maternity and newborn sessions are about more than a photoshoot. This is a short time in your life that you will never experience again.

Whether it’s the quiet anticipation of pregnancy or those tender, fleeting (and yes, exhausting) newborn days, these photos tell a story of love, growth and the start of something new.

I’m based in Abbotsford, BC and photograph families across the Fraser Valley and Greater Vancouver. From stunning maternity portraits surrounded by nature to cozy, intimate newborn sessions at home, I’ll create timeless, heartfelt images that allow you to freeze this blip in time.

Whether you’re embracing your pregnancy or celebrating your newest addition, this session is about honouring the love and connection that define this next season in life.

Kind words

Straight from the parents.

“So incredibly happy with our maternity shoot photos taken by Kate! We are not necessarily people who love getting our picture taken but Kate makes the whole process feel so fun and easy! She is very professional and knowledgeable. I am so grateful to have such beautiful photos of this special time in our lives!”

  • We had Kate do our engagement, wedding and maternity photos. She’s THAT good! We would highly recommend her to anyone, especially if you are nervous or awkward in front of the camera. Kate is so kind and down-to-earth. She made taking photos simple, fun, and beautiful!

  • Had such an incredible photoshoot with Kate and my twin baby girls. She made me feel so comfortable, was super friendly and fun to hang out with, and the photos came out better than I could have hoped. I’ll treasure the photos and the memories made forever.
