Welcome!
Thank you so much for being here! I am so deeply grateful that you are interested in having me document your journey as you bring new life into this world. This time of your life holds so much emotion- love, anticipation, apprehension, joy, hope - and every moment is special. In the blink of an eye, you are holding new love in your arms and nothing can ever compare.
These moments deserve to be captured; life moves so quickly and every minute is precious as you step into a new chapter with your little one. I am more than happy to be there to capture these moments for you.
These photos are treasures.
I recently discovered that my dad still carries my baby photo in his wallet.
There is nothing I love more in this world than looking through our old family photo albums; photos of my mom with me still in her belly, love and happiness shining from her eyes. These are photos that will be handed to my children as they grow, and to their own children in turn.
These photos gain value as time passes. They are treasures; reminders of a different time, and a reminder of love.
This is where I come in: my goal is to create a quiet, safe environment for you to document the feelings you experience both before and after the arrival of your child. Photography allows you to celebrate and preserve this amazing experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where are you based?
I am currently based in Aachen, Germany; however, I also spend parts of the year in Halifax, Canada. My current travel dates can be viewed here; if your desired date falls a little bit outside these dates, don’t stress! Just let me know! If your booking is made far enough in advance, there’s a super high chance my travel dates are still flexible.
How does booking and payment work?
When you book me, upon signing the contract, you are required to pay the booking deposit/retainer. Your date is then secure! The only way to secure a date is to pay a deposit and sign a contract. To keep things simple, travel fees are included in the grand total outline in your session contract. Once the deposit is paid, the remaining balance is due 30 days prior to the session date.
Do you have backup gear?
Yes, absolutely! Your images are also backed up to multiple hard drives to keep them safe.
How are the images delivered?
Your images are delivered to you in an online gallery, with both high-resolution and low-resolution jpegs available for download and printing.
When are the images delivered?
Your sneak peek images are delivered first, in gallery format. These are delivered within the first week or two following your session. Your final online gallery will be delivered within 4 weeks following your session.
What’s next?
Take some time to think about what type of session would best suit your needs. I’m happy to chat about it with you if you’re unsure! Once you’ve made your decision, send me an email at hello@sydneymaclennan.com so we can find a date. Once we have a date, I’ll send you the contract to make it official! Then the fun really begins!
