Maternity, is it empowering or disempowering?

How does being pregnant change the way one views themself, their body and feeling empowered?

Some say it's an experience that is really grounding and empowering as they feel they are fulfilling their calling in life. When others may feel the opposite, like their body has become a tool and throughout the journey of being a mother they loose touch of themself.

Either way everyones relationship with becoming and being a mother is different, and it's something I want to dive deeper into understanding and helping others feel empowered in who they are today.

Maternity shoot at Turimetta Beach, Northern Beaches Sydney.

Andreas Experience

"I couldn't of been more thrilled with the experience, from the moment I arrived Caleb made me feel completely comfortable, empowered and safe throughtout the entire session. His creativity and attention to detail shone through in every shot, and he knew exactly how to capture this special moment in time.

The end results are beautiful and the photos truly reflect the love and wonderment I have of this early stage in motherhood. I'm so grateful for Caleb's talent and warmth, he made the experience marvellous! Andrea"

For Andreas shoot I designed it to be something that was very comfortable, easy and a feeling of familiarity for her. So we started off the shoot at a beach nearby her family home she grew up in, and then actually finished the shoot in her childhood room.

I thought this was a beautiful narrative to show respect to the family home she once had, and celebrate the family of her own she is now creating.
