Family, maternity and newborn photography

Photographs take on a whole new kind of value when you become a parent, don’t they?

I’ve been having photoshoots with my own family ever since the kids were born. And when I look at the photos now, even six months ago feels like a whole other lifetime. I see clothes they’ve outgrown, tiny fingers clutching once-treasured toys. Expressions I know well, on faces I don’t see anymore. And I find myself missing my children, even as they’re in my arms, looking at the photos with me.

For me, that's the real power and beauty of family photography

How it doesn’t just remind us of a moment, it captures a whole chapter in our lives.

My maternity and family photo shoots in Hong Kong are relaxed and natural, with a touch of gentle guidance. I want to capture genuine moments of love and connection, whilst making sure the photos are as timelessly beautiful as they can be.

"Believe the hype and book your session with Maria - you won't regret it!"

Maria is a star photographer. She was very patient and accommodating to our one year old. It didn't even feel like we were having our photos taken during the session. This shows in the photos, which have beautifully lighting, are thoughtfully framed and capture our family perfectly. Can't wait for our next session with Maria already. - Tania

"We’ve had such a great experience shooting with Maria these past few years"

She has such a relaxed style and it really translates to how comfortable everyone is in front of the camera.
She is able to capture such beautiful, authentic moments (some of which I didn’t even realise actually happened in real life much less could have been captured beautifully on film)! - Christina

"We wanted something that captured our dynamic “in the moment” and we loved her previous candid shots of families around Hong Kong"

Maria was so professional, yet so understanding of us having an 11 month old who dictates our daily schedule. She was patient and guided us though the shoot with her camera always at the ready for a sweet moment between me, my husband and my son. - Diane

Hong Kong family photographer

So when it comes to our family photoshoot, the most important thing of all is that the kids have the best time! We’ll play some games, run around, you can have cuddles together on the grass, or in the sand.

I always start with a few poses, just to get the ‘granny pleasers’ out of the way. But then after that I really just want to capture you guys having fun together as a family. I want you to look at the photos in years to come, and have nothing but awesome memories of that wonderful afternoon.

Family life is full of energy, life and love. And I think your family photos should be, too. I want to give you family photos that’ll make you smile every time you pass them in the hall. Filled with huge smiles and tight hugs, infectious laughter, and podgy little hands around necks.

Book us in!

Motherhood in my photography

So whether it’s a maternity shoot, a newborn session or a family photoshoot, I’m truly passionate about capturing that uniquely beautiful bond between mother and child. Because as mothers, we’re always the ones holding the camera, aren’t we?!

And I know you may not feel camera-ready, or body confident, especially either side of birth. But when your children are older, they’ll look at the photos and they won’t care how you look. They won’t judge you for your body shape, your stretch marks, or the state of your hair. They’ll just be so happy to see you, and to see how very loved they’ve always been.

Do you know how your baby’s fingerprints are formed? As your child wriggles around inside you, they push their tiny hands against the walls of your womb. Their delicate skin creases as it grows, bunches up and forms little prints.

You’re the first person they’ll ever touch. And they’ll carry you with them for the rest of their life.
