Mother's Day Mini Sessions

She is the quiet heartbeat of the home.
Mother’s Day isn’t about the mugs or the flowers that wilt by Friday.
It’s about the way little hands reach for her without thinking.
The way she brushes hair from their faces.
The way they fit into her arms like they were made to be there.
This year, give her something that won’t end up in a drawer.
Step into a slow, beautiful moment in the Dungog countryside. Soft lace. Fresh flowers. A rustic wooden ladder standing gently among the blooms. Light that wraps around you. Space to breathe. Space to hold your babies close.
No rush. Just you and the ones who made you “mum”.
These are relaxed, connection-focused sessions designed to feel natural and easy. Snuggles. Giggles. Eskimo kisses. The in-between moments that matter most.

Why This Matters
One day, they won’t need to be carried.
One day, their hands will be bigger than yours.
One day, you’ll look back and try to remember how small they felt pressed against your chest.
Photos aren’t just for today.
They are for the future version of you who wants to remember.
These Mother’s Day minis are about celebrating the season you’re in right now. The tired eyes. The full heart. The love that stretches you in ways you never expected.
You deserve to be in the frame.
Meet the Photographer
Hi, I’m Jacynta.
The heart behind Studio 33 Collective.
Motherhood changed me in ways I never saw coming. It stretched me, softened me, and taught me how fleeting the ordinary really is.
I know what it feels like to always be the one behind the camera. To have hundreds of photos of your children… and almost none of you with them.
That’s why these sessions exist.
Not for perfection.
But for the way your child melts into you when they’re feeling shy.
For the laughter that erupts when someone pulls a silly face.
For the quiet strength in the way you hold your family together.
Every mum I photograph carries her own story. I would be honoured to capture yours.
packages & offerings
Your Mother’s Day Mini is more than just a quick photo.
It’s a reminder of how small their hands once were in yours.
Of the way they look at you like you are their whole world.
Of this season of motherhood you are living right now.
Every cuddle. Every laugh. Every quiet in-between moment, gently preserved for you to hold onto for years to come.
Here’s how it works:
A 15 minute relaxed session in our rustic Dungog setup with lace, flowers and soft natural light
3 hand edited digital images to keep, print and treasure

Every year our sessions sell out quickly, with parents booking early to make sure they don't miss out.
You will never regret having photos with your babies.
You might regret waiting.
There will always be laundry to fold. Work to finish. Reasons to put yourself last. But one day, these little arms won’t wrap around your neck the same way. Their cheeks won’t fit perfectly in your palm.
This is your sign.
Step into the frame. Let them hold you tight. Let me capture the love they feel for you, exactly as it is right now.
Because one day, these photos won’t just be beautiful.
They’ll be everything.

this is why i do it...
Emily had just welcomed her new baby.
Like so many mums, she was in that tender, blurry season of new motherhood. Tired. Emotional. Completely in love. Wanting to remember it all but not quite knowing how.
She didn’t just want photos.
She wanted to feel comfortable. Safe. Understood. She wanted someone who would take the time to capture this new little family exactly as they were.
From the moment they arrived, the session wasn’t about posing perfectly.
It was about connection.
Space to breathe.
Space to cuddle.
Space to just be.
Emily and Mark shared later that they felt completely welcome and at ease. Relaxed enough to laugh. Comfortable enough to lean into the chaos that naturally comes with little ones.
Hayley described her own sunset session the same way.
Comfortable. Relaxed. Effortless.
Because when families feel safe, the magic shows up naturally.
No forced smiles.
Just real connection in beautiful light.
Emily said their photos turned out better than she could have ever hoped for.
Hayley said people told her the images looked like they belonged in a magazine.
But what matters most isn’t how impressive they look.
It’s that these families now have something tangible to hold onto.
Moments that once felt fleeting are now preserved. The way their baby fit in their arms. The laughter at sunset. The light wrapping around their children’s faces.
Emily said it best:
“Now we get to treasure these memories for years to come.”
And that’s the whole point.
Her Words
“Thank you so much for capturing our new little family. It was such a wonderful experience and you made us feel so welcome and comfortable. Our photos came out better than I could have ever hoped for. Now we get to treasure these memories for years to come.”
— Emily & Mark
“Jacynta creates magic. She made us feel very comfortable and relaxed throughout the whole shoot. Her photos are phenomenal. We’ve had people say they look like they are out of a magazine.”
— Hayley
Mother’s Day sessions aren’t about perfect hair or matching outfits.
They’re about giving yourself permission to be in the frame.
To hold your babies close.
To capture the season you are in right now.
To walk away not just with beautiful images, but with an experience that feels easy and joyful.
At Studio 33 Collective, every session is designed to make you feel comfortable, relaxed, and celebrated.
Because when you feel good, it shows.
And that’s where the magic lives.
