A little about me

I’m warm, patient and a bit of a softie. I straighten baby headbands, fix curls, wipe cake-smash fingers, and I’ll always help you feel comfortable in front of the camera.

And because I’m a mom myself, I understand the nerves, the excitement and the chaos that come with these special seasons of life.

What I want for you

Your session should feel easy, calm and enjoyable. I guide you through everything — posing, outfits, what to expect, and how to keep baby happy.

My goal is simple:
To create photos that make you stop, smile, and feel something.

Let’s create something beautiful

If you want timeless images and a session that feels relaxed and enjoyable, I’d love to meet you.

Your fine art motherhood portrait photographer

I'm jenna :)

I’m a mom, a memory-maker, and someone who truly loves working with families. My own children are the reason I picked up a camera all those years ago — they showed me how quickly every stage passes and how precious photos really are.

For the last 17+ years, I’ve created calm, gentle photography experiences for moms who want beautiful, natural images without any stress. My studio in Waverley is warm, quiet and fully prepared for tiny newborns, busy toddlers, and glowing moms-to-be.

Say Hello

I adore photographing maternity sessions — not just because they’re beautiful, but because I know how quickly these weeks pass. So many moms walk into my studio feeling unsure, swollen, or “not glowing,” and walk out feeling confident and seen. Capturing that transformation — the softness, the strength, the anticipation — is one of my favourite parts of what I do.

Celebrating Motherhood

Newborns are my heart. There’s something magical about their little noises, curled-up poses, and tiny fingers wrapped around yours. I love creating calm, safe sessions where parents can breathe, relax, and just soak up their baby. Every pose is gentle, every detail intentional, because these early days disappear so quickly — and I want you to remember everything.

Newborn Simplicity

Cake smash sessions are pure happiness — messy faces, wobbly steps, big belly laughs. I love capturing your baby’s growing personality, whether they smash the cake, poke it gently, or give me the funniest side-eye. These milestone sessions remind me how fast our little ones grow and how priceless every stage is.

My Favorite Things

“Words truly cannot express the joy and appreciation we feel. The photos you created for us are beyond beautiful — we are completely in love with every single one. Thank you for your incredible patience, your kindness, and for making us feel so welcome in your studio. We are deeply grateful for the memories you’ve captured, and we hope this is only the beginning of documenting our family’s journey with you.”

“Jenna is honestly amazing! Her photos are always gorgeous, and she’s super punctual — which helps so much when you’re travelling far with a baby. She knows exactly how to keep little ones relaxed while she works her magic. She’s done both my maternity shoots and both of my newborn sessions, and even though I drive about an hour to her studio, I wouldn’t go anywhere else.”

You Deserve the best

Your photographs shouldn’t live on a phone — they should be held, displayed and passed down. All of my sessions include access to beautiful printed products and keepsakes, curated to help you preserve your family’s story with intention. Because these moments are once-in-a-lifetime… and they deserve to be remembered.
