Why choose Beautiful Beginnings for your maternity photoshoot? Amanda combines years of portrait experience with a gentle, conversational style that helps even camera-shy clients feel comfortable. She has built a studio environment that’s calm and welcoming — a place where clients can take their time, try different looks and feel truly pampered. For mums who prefer a lifestyle feel, Amanda also offers location shoots at your favourite spot, letting natural light and familiar surroundings add intimacy to your maternity portraits. What makes Amanda’s maternity work special is the attention to detail and the bespoke nature of every session. She talks through ideas with you before the shoot, suggesting poses, backgrounds and wardrobe that flatter and tell your story. If you’d like a pampered experience, the Beauty Room and Make-Over service for mothers-to-be means you can arrive styled and confident with professional hair and make-up before stepping in front of the camera. Amanda guides every pose, using simple direction to bring out natural expressions and genuine connection. How a session works: Amanda focuses on building a relaxed rapport from the moment you arrive. She won’t rush your shoot — allowing time for outfit changes, breathers and gentle posing so the final images feel effortless. Her studio is equipped for a variety of set-ups, and she is happy to discuss bringing personal props or clothing to make the photographs uniquely yours. Passion and credentials: Amanda’s photography journey is driven by a love of capturing family life and milestones.
