MOTHERHOOD PHOTOGRAPHY SUTHERLAND SHIRE

Beautiful Motherhood Photography That Celebrates YOU

It's time to step out from behind the camera, beautiful mum. This session is all about celebrating the incredible woman, mother, and heart of your family.

This session is for you, Mum

You spend so much time behind the camera that you barely end up in the story.

 

This session gives you a chance to be in the photos with your kids in a way that feels relaxed and genuine, not posed or awkward.

​

It’s about capturing the way they reach for you, the way you hold them, the way you fit together in this stage of life. No pressure to look a certain way or have everything perfect; just you, your children and a moment where you get to be part of the memory, not the one documenting it.

​

These are the photos your kids will look back on and recognise instantly: their mum, exactly as she was with them.

What to expect at your Motherhood session

BEFORE WE MEET

We’ll chat about outfits, locations and the kind of feel you want for your session. My goal is to help you feel comfortable and confident, so I’ll share simple prep tips and walk you through what to expect. We choose a spot that suits your energy and vision, and keep everything as easy as possible.

DURING YOUR SESSION

The pace stays relaxed and centred around you and your children. I’ll give gentle direction to help you feel at ease, then capture the natural moments that unfold — the cuddles, the little interactions, the way your kids seem to orbit around you. It’s a calm, supportive space where you can just be with them.

AFTER YOUR SESSION

You’ll receive a small sneak peek within 24 hours, then your full gallery arrives within 2–3 weeks. All images come in high resolution and are ready to print, share or save. And if you’d like help choosing prints or keepsakes, I can guide you through the options that fit your style.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What if my kids won't cooperate?
A: This is totally normal! I specialise in working with real families, which means wiggly toddlers, shy kids, and everything in between. We'll work at their pace and capture beautiful moments even if they're not looking at the camera.

 

Q: What should we wear?
A: I provide a detailed styling guide after booking, but think soft, natural colors and comfortable clothes you feel confident in. Avoid busy patterns and matching outfits – coordinating is much more beautiful.

 

Q: What if the weather isn't perfect?
A: Some of my favorite photos happen on overcast days! We'll monitor the weather together and reschedule if needed. Light rain can actually create magical, moody photos.

​

Q: How far in advance should we book?

A: I recommend booking 3-4 weeks ahead, especially for weekend sessions. Popular times like spring and before Christmas fill up quickly.

​

Q: Do you offer payment plans?
A: Yes! I offer flexible payment options because I believe every family deserves beautiful photos. We can discuss what works best for your budget.

​

Q: What if I don't want my images shared on social media?
A: Not a problem at all! Just let me know and they won't be shared anywhere. Your privacy and comfort are my top priorities, and I completely respect families who prefer to keep their photos private.

​

Q: How is this different from a regular family session?
A: While family sessions include everyone, motherhood sessions are specifically focused on celebrating YOU and your connection with your children. It's about honoring your role as a mother and creating images that show how beautiful and important you are.

Jodie from Stills by JP

Hey, I'm Jodie

As a mum myself to a spirited 2.5-year-old and bonus mum to two amazing girls, I deeply understand the beauty and complexity of motherhood.

 

I know how it feels to always be behind the camera, how it feels to doubt your own beauty, and how much you deserve to be celebrated.

​

My passion is helping mums see themselves through loving eyes the same way their children see them. When you look at your motherhood photos, I want you to see strength, beauty, love, and the incredible woman who shapes her children's entire world.

Let the world see your beautiful motherhood

 

Stop hiding behind the camera, beautiful mum. It's time to step into the light and let yourself be celebrated for the incredible woman and mother you are.

​

Your children need photos of their amazing mum. You deserve to feel beautiful. This moment deserves to be captured.
