Hey there! I’m Jenna a** slightly sleep-deprived** mama of two: a firecracker of a 9-year-old and a teenager who thinks they’re cooler than me (the jury’s still out).

Let’s be real: exercise is for people with more free time than chocolate cravings. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good walk surrounded by beautiful flowers (bonus points if there’s a chocolate shop nearby!), but let’s just say my “gym membership” is a Netflix subscription. My humor leans dry and sarcastic, so consider it a warning shot – that’s just my way of showing I care (or hiding the exhaustion).

One thing I take seriously is respecting your time. As a fellow parent, I know how precious those minutes are. That’s why I hate it when people are late (looking at you, teenagers!), and I always strive to be efficient and organized. Being late is basically a cardinal sin in my book, right after interrupting nap time. ?

Pregnancy has definitely left its mark on my body, like a tiny human etch-a-sketch masterpiece. While I’m not always thrilled about being in photos, I know it’s important to exist in them with my kids. Besides, future me will thank me for the evidence that I did shower at some point.

Finally, I love collaborating with awesome mamas! When there’s mutual respect and a shared passion, we can create magic (and hopefully avoid meltdowns). So, if you’re looking for a supportive, down-to-earth photographer who understands the chaos (and beauty!) of motherhood, let’s chat! (complete the contact form below!)

P.S. I promise to be gentle with the chocolate confessions. (But no promises on the photographer’s stash…)

Okay, mama, let’s be honest. You might be thinking, “This belly? Photos? Are you kidding? My hormones are doing a victory lap around the world, and my feet look like overinflated pool floats!” But trust me, before you write off maternity photos faster than you can say “heartburn,” hear me out.

With over 17 years of experience, I’ve seen it all. From the radiant glow (yes, it exists, even on your most “blah” days) to the occasional meltdown (hey, it happens!), I’ve captured it all. Imagine this: me, Jenna D, your fellow mama-in-the-trenches, capturing your pregnancy journey in the most stunning way possible. Because I’ve been there in those comfy maternity leggings, I know exactly how to make you feel relaxed and confident – even if you’re feeling more “blah” than “beautiful.”

Let’s embrace that bump! Pregnancy isn’t always a walk in a flowery field, is it? Some days you feel like a glowing goddess, and others you wonder if your wardrobe has become a permanent collection of tent dresses. But here’s the thing: I have a magic touch when it comes to making you and your baby bump look like the stars of “Gorgeous Mama Monthly.”

A Pretoria maternity shoot with me isn’t just about posing under the jacarandas. It’s about celebrating your strength, your love, and the little miracle doing acrobatics inside you. It’s about hitting pause on the daily hustle and cherishing this special moment. Because trust me, swollen ankles and all, this is a milestone worth capturing.

Let’s snap this moment! Picture this: one day, you’ll be showing these photos to your kids, telling them stories about when they were tiny ninjas doing flips in your belly. These photos will be priceless then, even if the thought of being in front of the camera makes you nervous now.

And listen, even if you don’t feel like a supermodel every day, I have a knack for capturing genuine emotion and pure artistry. So you’ll end up with photos that are beautiful, heartfelt, and sprinkled with a touch of Pretoria magic. I’m more than just a photographer; I’m your personal cheerleader, here to remind you that you’re rocking this whole pregnancy thing, and it’s pretty darn awe-inspiring.

We’ll laugh, we might even snort-laugh, and you’ll forget all about the camera. Before you know it, you’ll be rocking those maternity poses like a pro, showcasing your baby bump with the pride of a lioness.

So, mama, whether you’re on the fence or worried you’ll regret not having these memories, give me a shout! This isn’t just about photographs; it’s about capturing a feeling, a fleeting moment in time. It’s about telling your story – the story of your beautiful family, from the very beginning.

Go on, brave the spotlight for a day. You might surprise yourself with how much fun you have and how gorgeous you feel. Trust me, in a few years, when that bump is a rambunctious toddler, you’ll be so glad you did.

Book your session with me today, and let’s turn your pregnancy journey into a work of heart! Complete my form!
