They want to look good, and they want to look gentle and loving. They want to have tender portraits of themselves with their kids.
But they also (mostly) don’t like being photographed, the actual process that is.
We don’t know how to act, where to look, when to smile or even how to smile.
And this is where my Motherhood session is the perfect solution.
I LOVE Motherhood sessions. Simply put, because it shows connection. Emotion. Intimacy.
I love capturing the little things that make you a mother.
The way you hold their hands so they don’t fall.
The way you fold their hair behind their ear.
The way little fingers play with your hair behind your back that you will never ever get to see otherwise.
The way you look at them when you relax and stop posing.
Every. Single. Detail
Ever single gesture and facial expression that make you a great mom!
Get to see that.

behind the scenes of a photo shoot on location

August 26, 2015 by Jackie

As creatives, we have restless souls by nature
and we are always thinking of new ways
to improve our skills
and refresh our portfolios.
I had an itch that needed scratching recently
so I got three models
a hair and make up artist
a gorgeous venue
grabbed my assistant by the arm
and had ourselves a day full of creative fun!

Full blog post of final product coming soon…

Everything you need to know before your session

adore photography is based in Centurion, Gauteng. The studio is easily accessible for families from Pretoria, Johannesburg, Midrand, Sandton and surrounding areas.

I offer maternity, newborn, baby milestone, cake smash and family photoshoots. Sessions can take place in the studio, grassfield or greenhouse, depending on the type of shoot and the look you want.

Yes. I help with outfit guidance before your session, and the studio wardrobe is available for moms for selected sessions, especially maternity and newborn photoshoots.

Yes. Family photos are part of many maternity, newborn, baby and cake smash sessions. I guide everyone so it feels relaxed and not like a school photo from 1997.

Yes. Outdoor photos can be done on site in the grassfield or greenhouse, depending on the package, weather and session type.

Maternity photos are usually best between 30 and 34 weeks of pregnancy. This gives you a visible bump while still keeping the session comfortable.

It is best to book your newborn photoshoot while you are still pregnant. The actual session usually happens in the first few weeks after birth, depending on baby and recovery.

You can contact me through the website or WhatsApp to choose your session type, check availability and get the booking details.
