Betty - Wollongong and Southern Highlands Newborn Photographer

"She is the gold at the end of the rainbow." - Unknown

I first met the Bates family when their first daughter Airlie was 8 months old. Since then I have captured many priceless moments and memories for them (including Ally's maternity photos which you can see here) and this was by far the best as Miss Betty was long awaited. 

Here is what Ally had to say about our session together. 
"If a picture is worth 1000 words than a picture by Jade is worth 2000. I am mesmerised by Betty's newborn photo gallery, you captured my family perfectly. I cannot thank you enough! Being a mum Jade completely understood that sometimes the littlest of subjects don't want to cooperate but she showed patience and professionalism and was happy to take her time to ensure that the shots were perfect, she even had time for a play with my toddler. I will treasure these memories for a lifetime."

Thank you Ally, Keiran, Airlie and Betty for welcoming me into your lives, I am now honoured to call you my friends and watch your babies and family grow. 

If you would like to have a relaxed and fun session with me, get in touch here, I would love to hear from you. 

UPDATE: You can see Betty's 6 month story here.

Fleur - Wollongong Newborn Photographer

I am so blessed to be able to document such important and beautiful moments in people's lives. Being a newborn photographer is an honour as I get to capture a family growing and a parents bringing their precious baby home. 

You may remember Sam and Reece from their gorgeous maternity session earlier in the year (you can see that here). I was excited when I got the message that baby Fleur had arrived earth side and when I arrived at her home, Sam and Reece were cool, calm, relaxed and totally smitten with their baby girl. 

Thank you Sam and Recce for welcoming me into your beautiful home and allowing me to capture some beautiful family images for you.

Bates Maternity - Wollongong Newborn and Family Photographer

When Ally messaged me to tell me she was pregnant, I was over the moon for them and onore when she asked me to once again capture a special moment in their lives, photographing her Maternity and Newborn sessions

We headed to their favourite spot in the Illawarra "The Farm" at Killalea State Park for what ended up being a spectacular afternoon of fun. 

Thank you Ally, Keiren, Airlie and Bub for allowing me into your lives and capturing this special moment for you. 

UPDATE: Betty is here! You can see her newborn session here.

Sam + Reece - Wollongong Maternity Photographer

Sam + Reece's maternity session was on a beautiful private property in the stunning little town of Jamberoo, just south of Wollongong. 
 

Sam and Recce have been together for 10 years, yep, highschool sweethearts and they have a precious fur baby Angus, sporting a bow tie!  We wondered around the property on a warm, spring day embracing the gorgeous light and scenery. We chatted, laughed, spoke about the furture and their hopes for their girl. 

Thank you Sam, Reece and Angus for allowing me to capture this special time for you.
