Pure Love Portraiture

Pure Love Portraiture Hi I’m Cassandra, and welcome to my page. I am a photographer based in Camden, NSW. My work follows the life style approach.

A little bit about me- I am a qualified accountant who has spent many years studying and working long hours, without taking the time to stop and enjoy the little things in life. Since becoming a wife and mother, I have come to realise how quickly time goes by and how precious every second is with your family. My true passions in life have always been photography, design and drawing which I had suppressed for many years during my studies. After the birth of my second child I made the conscious decision to pursue my long lost love, with the motivation to capture the raw emotions, love and stories of life that come and go before we know it. My intention is to document moments in life as they are, in order to help preserve your story. I always put a piece of my heart into all of my work, as I feel honored to be able to aid in preserving such precious memories for people. My style is very natural and candid, as to capture your life as it is and how you will remember it. Browse through my site and I hope you like what you see. I would love to help you capture a little piece of your world, that you will treasure for a lifetime.

No one really talks about how crap you can feel in those last few weeks of pregnancy.

You hit 35 weeks and suddenly your body seems to have a whole new list of surprises for you.
Morning sickness decides to make a comeback.
More stretch marks appear.

There are new bulges downstairs that seemingly arrived overnight.

Your belly button has turned itself inside out.
And your ni***es are now approximately the size of dinner plates.

Meanwhile, you open Instagram and see heavily pregnant mums with perfect bumps, beautiful outfits and gorgeous maternity photos looking like pregnancy has never inconvenienced them for a second.

And you think…
“God, I wish I felt like that.”

Maybe you do want maternity photos.
You’ve thought about booking them.
You might have even contacted a few photographers.

But underneath all of that is something harder to admit…

Your body doesn’t feel like yours right now.
And the thought of standing in front of someone while they look closely at the parts of yourself you’re already conscious of feels incredibly vulnerable.

That’s why I believe choosing your maternity photographer is about so much more than liking their photographs.

You need someone you can feel safe with.
Someone you can tell, “I really don’t like this part of my body right now.”
Someone who notices when you’re uncomfortable.

Someone who doesn’t expect you to walk in loving your pregnant body just because society keeps telling you pregnancy is beautiful.
Because you can love your baby deeply and still think…

“What the hell is happening to my body?”
You don’t need to suddenly love every stretch mark, bulge or change before you deserve to be photographed.
Sometimes you first need a space where you can be exactly as you are…
without judgement, without pretending and without having to feel beautiful first.

That’s the space I want to create for you.

If this sounds like you, I have a handful of $99 Maternity Experience spots remaining.

Phone photos can feel like enough… until you realise you’re barely in them.
You have photos of your bump in the mirror.

A few your partner quickly took when you asked.

Maybe hundreds of little moments sitting in your camera roll.

And for a while, you might think, that’s enough.

Because booking maternity photos can feel like adding another thing to an already very full plate.

You need something to wear.

You don’t know how to pose.

You’re not feeling completely like yourself in your changing body.

And there’s that little worry underneath it all…

“What if I go through all of this and don’t even like how I look?”

So putting it off feels easier.

But this is exactly why I don’t expect you to arrive with any of it figured out.

I’ll help you choose what to wear.

I’ll guide you through every movement so you’re never standing there wondering what to do.

And if something doesn’t feel right, we change it.

Because maternity photos shouldn’t feel like another thing you have to get right.

They should give you something your camera roll often can’t…

photographs where you’re actually there.

Not just your bump.

Not just the pregnancy documented from your point of view.

You… in this version of your life, waiting for the little person who is about to change it.

And one day, that might be exactly what you’re grateful you didn’t settle for phone photos of.

If you’ve been thinking about maternity photos but keep putting them off, comment “MATERNITY” and I’ll send you the details for my $99 Maternity Experience.

“What if I spend the money… and instead of remembering my pregnancy, I just remember how big I felt that day?”

I think this fear goes much deeper than worrying you won’t like your maternity photos.
Because when you already don’t feel like yourself, being photographed can feel like you’re creating permanent proof of a version of your body you’re struggling with.
And you might be thinking…
What if all I notice is my arms?
What if I look bigger than I feel?
What if I look at them and wish I hadn’t done it?
I’m not going to tell you to just love your pregnant body.
You can love your baby deeply and still find these changes hard.
What I can do is make sure you’re not left alone with those feelings during your session.
Tell me what you’re worried about.
Tell me what you don’t feel comfortable wearing.
Tell me if something doesn’t feel like you.
I’ll listen.
I’ll guide you.
I’ll notice when you start pulling at your dress or holding your breath.
And if something isn’t working for you, we change it.
Because I don’t want you to look at these photographs years from now and remember how uncomfortable you felt in your body that day.
I want you to remember how carefully you were looked after in a body you were still learning to live in.
That’s a huge part of why I created my $99 Maternity Experience.
You don’t have to arrive loving how you look.
You just need to arrive as you are… and I’ll meet you there.

In 2015, I thought I had to choose between my career and being there for my babies.

I was pregnant with my second, just eight months after having my first, and the thought of returning to my corporate job filled me with anxiety.

When my employer couldn’t offer the flexibility I needed, I walked away.

There was no big business plan.

I just loved photography… and I was constantly photographing my own babies because I didn’t want to forget this stage.

I started photographing friends and their babies.

Friends became clients.

And slowly, a little side hustle became a business.

For years, I built it around motherhood.

Sessions when my husband was home. One childcare day a week. Working in whatever pockets of time I could find.

Then in 2025, my youngest started school.

For the first time, I had the chance to see if this little business could become my full time career.

I quickly realised that being a good photographer wasn’t enough.

I needed to become a better business owner.

So I invested in myself, asked for help, collaborated with other local businesses and stopped hiding behind my work.

And things changed.

That little side hustle has now become a six figure business that still allows me to be the mum I wanted to be all those years ago.

I do school drop offs and pick ups.

I’m there for the afternoon chaos and school holidays.

And I get to spend my days helping other mums get in front of the camera with their babies.

I started this business because I didn’t want to miss my own children growing up.

Now I get to help other mums make sure they don’t either. 🤍

Sometimes it doesn’t have to be motherhood or a career.

You can find your own version of both.

I want one maternity photo I genuinely love myself in.
Not because I suddenly look like I did before pregnancy.

Not because I’ve learnt to love every change in my body.

But because when I look at it…

I still see me.

I think that’s what so many pregnant mums are really wanting.

You’ve spent months watching your body change.

Clothes fit differently.

You might avoid photos you once wouldn’t have thought twice about.

And some days, the woman looking back at you in the mirror just doesn’t feel quite like you.

You don’t need to fix that before having maternity photos.

You don’t need to arrive confident.

You don’t need to know how to pose.

And you definitely don’t need to figure out what to do with your hands.

That’s what I’m there for.

I’ll help you choose something you feel comfortable in.

I’ll guide you through every little movement.

And I’ll pay attention to when you need me to slow down, change something or simply give you a minute.

Because I don’t want you spending your session thinking about how you look.

I want to give you the space to feel like yourself again.

That’s exactly why I created my $99 Maternity Experience.

A relaxed 30 minute session for the mum who doesn’t need hundreds of photographs…

she just wants a few where she looks back and still sees herself.

If you don’t feel like yourself pregnant, I don’t think you need someone telling you to “just embrace it” or reminding you how beautiful pregnancy is.

Because you can be incredibly grateful for your baby…

and still feel uncomfortable with how much your body has changed.

You can love your bump…

and still look in the mirror and barely recognise yourself.

And you can desperately want maternity photos…

while worrying you won’t like the person you see in them.

I hear this from mums all the time.

Which is why I don’t expect you to walk into my studio already feeling confident.

Instead, I want to know what you’re worried about.

What you’ve been feeling conscious of.

What you feel comfortable wearing.

What makes you feel more like yourself.

And if something doesn’t feel right during your session… I want you to tell me.

Because I can change the dress.

I can slow things down.

I can guide you differently.

I can put the camera down for a minute and talk to you.

You don’t need to become your old self again before you deserve to be photographed.

**You need someone who makes you feel comfortable being who you are right now.**

That’s a huge part of what I want **The Maternity Experience** to feel like.

A relaxed 30 minute session where you don’t need to know how to pose, what to do with your hands or arrive feeling good about every part of your changing body.

I’ll meet you where you are and guide you through the rest.

The Maternity Experience is **$99**.

Comment “MATERNITY” and I’ll send you the details

You don’t need to feel confident in front of the camera to have maternity photos you love.

And you definitely don’t need to wait until you feel better about your changing body.
Because after 11 years of photographing pregnant women, I’ve learnt that confidence isn’t where we need to start.

Trust is.

You might want a few beautiful photographs of this pregnancy… but the thought of actually standing in front of a camera is what keeps stopping you.

You’re worried you’ll look awkward.
You don’t know what to do with your hands.
Nothing feels quite like you anymore.

So it feels easier to keep taking the occasional bump photo on your phone.
But I don’t believe the problem is that you’re awkward or “not photogenic.”
Being photographed feels vulnerable when you don’t quite feel like yourself.
That’s why I created The Maternity Experience.

A relaxed 30 minute session where I don’t expect you to walk in knowing what to do.
We talk. I get to know you. I listen to what you’re worried about. We find something for you to wear that feels like you.
And I gently guide you through the rest.

Because I’m not only paying attention to how the photograph looks.
I’m paying attention to how the woman in it feels.

The Maternity Experience is $99 and was created for the mum who doesn’t want a big maternity shoot… she simply wants a few beautiful photographs to remember this version of herself.

You don’t have to become confident first.
You just need to feel safe enough to be seen.

Comment “MATERNITY” and I’ll send you the details for my $99 Maternity Experience.**

After 11 years of photographing pregnant women, there’s one thing I hear before almost every session…
“I have no idea how to pose. What do I even do with my hands?"

And I understand why that feels uncomfortable.

You’re already adjusting to a body that feels different.

Then you’re expected to stand in front of a camera, somehow know where to look, what to do with your hands and how to make yourself look natural.

But you were never supposed to know how to do any of that.

That’s my job.

I’ll guide you one small movement at a time.

A slight turn.

A hand resting instead of gripping.

A little change in where you’re looking.

Nothing complicated. Nothing you need to remember.

Because the less you’re thinking about what your body is doing, the more you can actually settle into the experience.

Your shoulders soften.

You stop holding your breath.

You stop wondering if you’re doing it right.

And after 11 years, I’ve realised something that matters to me far more than perfect posing…

**The experience comes first.
The photograph comes second.**

I don't want you to simply *look* comfortable in your photographs.

**I want you to remember that you actually were.**

That’s why I created **The Maternity Experience.**

A relaxed 30 minute session for the mum who wants a few beautiful photographs of her pregnancy… but doesn’t feel completely comfortable being in front of the camera.

The Maternity Experience is $99.

You don’t need to know how to pose.

You just need to show up. I’ll guide you through the rest.**
