LET’S CAPTURE YOUR WILD & FREE SEASON

Motherhood is powerful, raw, and beautifully fleeting.

It is the quiet waiting. The becoming. The chaos wrapped in love.

At Her Hue, I photograph mothers in a way that feels natural, soulful, and deeply human.

Kind Words from Alexandrea Maxwell

My partner and I originally booked in for a maternity and newborn shoot with Shinade but unfortunately due to bad weather on two seperate dates we couldn’t go ahead with the maternity shoot as I was approaching my due date quickly. Shinade was accommodating and instead of a maternity shoot she increased the amount of shots we received for our newborn shoot.

We came when our girl was 5 days old so I was feeling anxious because I thought my baby may be a bit unsettled during the shoot. Shinade made us feel comfortable and let us know to take our time, she even had a white noise machine going to calm my girl. Luckily for us, baby was very chill the entire time so our shoot went smoothly.

Shinade edited our photos very quickly and I’ve received our gallery only 2 days after the shoot! Each shot is beautiful and I’m so glad we could get gorgeous images of our girl so soon into her life. Thanks again! Would recommend to everyone 🤍
