For many of us, the journey to motherhood is not a straight forward one.
There are many happy, easy pregnancy stories – but with those, also many realities that often go unspoken.
Fertility struggles, miscarriages, pregnancy complications, the ache of wanting a child when you haven’t met the right partner, or navigating parenthood in a same-sex relationship.
These are real stories. Real challenges. And for 1 in 7 couples in the UK, the fight to become a parent (what many call the fertility battle) is a reality.
It can feel like your body is failing you.
Like grief and frustration are quietly taking over.
And still, the world around you keeps moving, as if nothing’s wrong.
I understand – because I’ve been there.
In my early 20s, I was diagnosed with endometriosis. Doctors told me I might struggle to have children. Over the years, I had seven operations just for a chance at becoming a mum.
I was one of the lucky ones.
I was blessed with two beautiful children. But it wasn’t easy – and I know I’m not alone.
And if you’re facing your own fertility journey, I want you to know that you’re not alone either.
Introducing…
becoming: the motherhood journey
MY GIFT TO YOU
I’m incredibly proud to launch a project that means the world to me.
After my own experience with endometriosis, seven surgeries, and the constant worry about whether I’d ever become a mum, I truly understand that the path to motherhood isn’t always straightforward.
Over the years, through my work as a photographer, I’ve had the privilege of meeting so many incredible women – women who have faced heartbreak, uncertainty, and overwhelming challenges on their journey to becoming mothers.
But I’ve also seen the pure, indescribable joy when they finally meet their long-awaited baby.
I want to honour these powerful stories.
I want to celebrate you—the mums-to-be who’ve fought so hard to get here.
That’s why I’m offering a free maternity photography session each month to a local mum-to-be.
These gifted sessions will also include 3 digital images and take place between 28–36 weeks of pregnancy, at my studio in Pyrford, Surrey.
To be eligible, please apply after your 20-week scan.
One mum will be selected each month from the previous month’s nominations, and notified at the beginning of the following month.
If you or someone you know has a story worth celebrating, I’d love to hear from you.
Let’s honour your strength, let’s honour your journey.
WHAT’S INCLUDED?
- 1 hour free maternity session
- Use of all dresses and wraps
- Gallery of approximately 10 images to choose from
- 3 Fully edited digital images.
