The light in Blairgowrie that afternoon was gentle and calm. It drifted in from the sea and seemed to slow everything down as we walked along the coast. The surrounds were incredibly beautiful, open, quiet, and softened by the ocean and it felt like the kind of place that invites you to breathe a little deeper.
This maternity session unfolded slowly and without any rush. We moved slowly, paused often, and let light find us. Photographing a fellow film photographer is especially special. We spoke about film, about favourite stocks, about waiting for the light instead of trying to control it and about trusting what’s already there. They had kindly brought along a few rolls of their favourite film to use for the session, which felt like a quiet, generous offering and a shared appreciation for the process itself. It made the experience feel even more collaborative and considered.
There’s something about the coast that suits this season of motherhood so well. The space, the sound of the ocean, and the soft light seemed to mirror this in-between time, full of quiet anticipation and change. Captured entirely on film, these images hold motherhood as it is right now: tender, honest, and fleeting. A moment gently kept, just as it was.
