I AM HERE TO HELP YOU KEEP IT. EMBRACE IT. RELIVE IT. CAPTURE IT.
Not just how beautiful or messy it looked, but how important it was to be the mother of their childhood.
To know you were there in all their moments of admiration, defiance, exploration and growth. Remembering how each season of your motherhood transformed you, challenged you and filled you with love, all at once.
Because our babies, our children, they don't keep.
The 'Mum I want a cuddle' cries or the 'Can you come jump on the trampoline with me' requests, will slowly become fewer and father between until one day we find ourselves in silence.
What Matters Now isn't the Story telling; what matters is telling a true story well. Shoalhaven & Jervis Bay Maternity, Newborn and Family Photography.
Hello, I'm Claire
A Maternity, newborn and family photographer who places you in breathtaking landscapes, captures those perfect tiny details and nurtures your families story where and when it matters most.
As a mum of two, I know how each season of our motherhood passes too quickly and how much I deeply miss it once it does.
A session with me is an heart felt invitation to embrace your season as a mother so you can relive it once it's passed because you captured it.
A chance for you to feel beautiful in a season that tests your body and self esteem in ways you couldn't imagine. So you can later appreciate how incredible you were to embrace such change.
My sessions are relaxed, enjoyable and entirely intentional.
I'll be there to guide you when you need it and step back when you don't, creating a nurturing and artful space for images that are both stunningly beautiful and meaningful - The kind you will want to share with all your family and friends and give you a new appreciation for your connections with your growing babies.
From the sun-drenched shorelines and cliffs of Jervis Bay to the bush and rolling hills of the Shoalhaven, you will feel seen and heard in font of my lens.
Whether you're documenting your pregnancy, your new baby or your beautiful, growing family, I am here for your entire journey of motherhood, should you choose to invite me along.

MACRO NEWBORN
The Close-up Newborn Details
Macro photography is the most special way to capture all the beautiful new-born close-up details that will soon be in the past. A gentle way to hold onto those wrinkly toes, flaky skin, and perfectly pouted lips. A specialist lens which isn't offered widely by many photographers. These are the details you'll want to really embrace, capture and relive in to the long years to come.
