NEWBORN CHAPTER
The newborn days are quiet in a way nothing else ever is. Everything slows down and your whole world fits into your arms.
It’s the tiny details, the sleepy stretches and the newness of it all. The kind of love that feels hard to explain but easy to feel.
These sessions are lifestyle based, focused on connection and the way your newborn days actually feel. I gently guide where needed, but I'm always drawn to capturing things as they naturally unfold. Because these moments and time of your life you will always want to come back to.
Sessions can take place in a few different ways depending on what suits you best: at the hospital in those first 48 hours, in your home or my home studio during the early newborn weeks or outdoors if you prefer something more natural and relaxed.

MATERNITY CHAPTER
There’s something quiet about this season. Life is changing, even on the days it feels like nothing is happening yet. It’s the anticipation, the waiting… the way your mind drifts forward, imagining who they’ll be, while your body is already doing the work of bringing them here.
This in between holds so much. Between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming. Between a life you’ve known and one that’s about to unfold in ways you can’t quite picture yet.
Your body is changing, slowly and beautifully. Holding and growing life in a way that feels both ordinary and extraordinary all at once. And even if it doesn’t always feel magical… even if some days feel heavy or uncomfortable or long... This is still a part of your story that deserves to be remembered.
Because one day, this will be the beginning. The part you look back on and realise just how much was already there. This is about slowing it down for a moment. Holding this season as it is right now, before everything shifts.
Capturing not just how it looked… but how it felt to carry a whole world inside you.
Sessions can take place in a few different ways depending on what feels most like you. In the comfort of your own home, outdoors in a natural setting or in my studio.

FAMILY CHAPTER
This chapter is less about posing and more about just being together. It’s the way your kids move, the little habits you don’t even notice anymore, the way everyone fits together as you are right now. The in between moments, the noise, the quiet, the way a hand reaches for you without thinking.
These are the days that can feel so normal while you’re in them, but they’re the ones that change the most. The ones you don’t think to hold onto until you realise how much they meant.
There’s no pressure for things to be perfect here. Kids don’t need to sit still, no one needs to perform and nothing needs to go to plan. The best parts never do.
You just come as you are, with the people you love. I’ll take care of the rest. Guiding you where it helps and letting the real moments find their way in between.
These sessions can take place wherever feels right for your family. At home, outdoors or in my home studio. Somewhere you can settle into, relax a little and just be yourselves.

MOTHERHOOD CHAPTER
Motherhood doesn’t begin in a single moment. It unfolds slowly, in the quiet waiting, in the wondering, in the way everything begins to shift before your baby is even here. And then suddenly, they’re here. In your arms, in your space, woven into your every day. This chapter holds both.
The anticipation of meeting them and the reality of loving them. The before and the after. Two chapters that feel so different but are part of the same story.
This is a combined experience of both maternity and newborn sessions, created to document the full journey from waiting to arrival.
It’s a time that changes you in ways you don’t always see straight away. The way you think,
the way you feel, the way your whole world begins to centre around someone you haven’t even met yet… and then suddenly you can’t imagine life without them.
There’s no expectation to be anything other than where you are in it. Whether you’re still waiting or finding your feet in those early days, this is about holding onto it as it is, before it shifts again. I’ll guide you where it’s needed and
gently capture it as it naturally unfolds.

CREATIVE CHAPTER
This chapter is for the ideas that don’t quite fit anywhere else.The ones that feel a little bit fun, a little bit different and a lot more you.
Engagement sessions in your old car. Camping trips with the kids. A fun pregnancy announcement, playing outside with the chooks,bowling alleys, proposals, business branding, library fun with the kids, cooking at home with Nonna. Firepit and marshmallows.If you’ve ever thought “I wonder if this is too random…” well it probably belongs here.
There’s something really special about stepping away from the traditional and creating something that feels honest to your story. Not posed for perfection but remembered and real.
Birth sessions are also welcomed within this chapter for those wanting a more documentary, story led approach to such an important moment.
I genuinely love working on ideas like this. The more creative, the more personal, the better.
These are the sessions that stay with you.
If you have an idea you’ve been sitting on, I’d genuinely love to hear it. Some of my favourite sessions come from creative concepts and I’m always open to collaborating on something unique.
Creative sessions are priced individually depending on the concept, location and what the session involves. If you’ve got an idea, I’d love for you to reach out via the contact form and share it with me.
If your idea is something I’m especially excited to create and aligns with my current creative direction, I may offer a reduced creative session rate as part of building it into my portfolio and exploring new work.
FAQ
How do I book a session?
You can get in touch with me via my contact form or sending me an email at jes_andco@hotmail.com
I’ll get back to you as soon as I can (check junk folder just in case, emails love to disappear there).
Once we’ve locked in your date, a non refundable retainer is required to secure your booking and the remaining balance is due before your session date.
Where are you based and do you travel?
I’m based in the Riverina, Wagga Wagga. Travel within 30km of Wagga Wagga is included.
For locations further out, a small travel fee may apply but I do love travelling, so please always reach out if you’re outside the area. I’m more than happy to chat and see what’s possible.
When will we get our photos?
Your gallery will be delivered within 2 – 3 weeks of your session, carefully curated and ready to download.
If you’ve booked a Full Chapter session you’ll also receive a sneak peek within 48 hours so you’ve got something to enjoy while you wait.
Wedding galleries are delivered within 6-8 weeks with sneak peeks within 24 hours to share on socials.
How long does a session go for?
There’s no strict timing pressure here.
Each session flows differently depending on what we’re capturing, so I allow enough time for things to unfold naturally without rushing.
Your package outlines the general timeframe but on the day we just go with the flow and let it happen.
What should we wear?
Wear something that feels like you.
Soft, neutral tones and natural textures always photograph beautifully but if you love colour, wear the colour. Its a vibe!
The most important thing is that you feel comfortable moving, sitting, cuddling and just being yourselves.
And if you’re stuck between outfits or overthinking it a little, send them through I’m always happy to help with any guidance you need for your session.
What if my kids don't cooperate?
They don’t need to.
There’s no pressure for kids to sit still, smile on cue, or “perform” in any way.
Sessions are built around movement, play, cuddles, snacks, breaks and whatever else little humans bring with them.
I’ll gently guide things when needed and I’m also fully prepared to jump in and help wrangle them with you when things get a little chaotic.
Can we chose a location?
Yes absolutely!
Sessions can take place outdoors, in your home or in my home studio depending on the feel you’re wanting.
If you already have a meaningful spot in mind I’d love for you to share it with me.
Can extended family or pets be apart of these sessions?
Pets are always welcome, I love including them.
For extended family, I’ve chosen to limit these sessions this year but you’re always welcome to reach out if you’re unsure and I can let you know if it’s possible.
What happens if we need to cancel or reschedule?
Life happens, kids get sick, plans change it’s all part of it.
If you need to reschedule please get in touch at least 24 hours before your session so we can move you to the next available date.
Your retainer will simply transfer over to your new booking.
Can we pay our session off?
You’re very welcome to book your session in advance and pay it off weekly if that suits you better.
Just let me know when you enquire and we can set this up for you.
Do you photograph weddings?
I do, but only a small number each year.
My main focus is family photography, and I also have a full family life of my own so I’m quite selective with wedding bookings.
I’d love for you to reach out and see if your date is available.
What if we feel uncomfortable infront of the camera?
This is completely normal and honestly most people feel this way at the start.
You don’t need to know what to do, how to pose or worry about looking a certain way. That’s my job.
Sessions are very relaxed and guided gently from start to finish. I’ll help you with positioning when needed but I’ll also give you space to just be together so things feel natural not forced.
Most of the time you’ll forget the camera is even there.
Do you have any more questions?
If you’ve got any other questions, I’m always happy to chat :)
You can send me a message anytime via email or Instagram whatever is easiest for you. I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.
