Your Maternity & Birth Journey, Photographed with Meli Berends Photography
Maternity and Birth Photography is a beautiful way to keep hold of all of those precious moments that happen so fast during this incredible time that are so easily missed. Your baby will only be born once and being able to revisit those memories is such a treasure. What a way for children to see how loved they are!
How much love, effort and work it was to bring them into the world.
Kind Words
"I recently had a maternity photo shoot with Meli. I was initially a little unsure about being in front of the camera but as soon as I arrived, Meli made me feel completely comfortable and relaxed. She gently guided me throughout the photo shoot, while also allowing space for me to explore my own unique postures. I am so glad I now have these beautiful photos that capture my pregnancy, in Meli’s unique soft photographic style. This style captures and celebrates the overall beauty of pregnancy rather than focussing on the fine details, which is just what I wanted. The experience was really special. We are very lucky to have Meli right here in Raglan and I would highly recommend her if you are considering having maternity photos taken at any stage of your pregnancy."

"To be honest, I loved the idea of birth photography, but wasn't completely comfortable with the idea of having someone other than my husband and midwife at my son's birth. However, Meli is such a beautiful person, so warm, genuine and caring, it was wonderful to have her there. We loved the way she captured our birth journey in gorgeous, honest pictures. Her love, appreciation and respect for the joy and miracle of birth blew me away. A huge thanks to you Meli, we love our pictures."
