12 Years of artistry, more than just a photographer

Meet Maylea
I'm a mother, a former childcare educator and a photographer who has spent the past 12 years learning how to make the fragile feel safe and the fleeting feel permanent.
When you place your baby in my arms, you're trusting me with more than just a photograph, you're trusting me to keep your baby safe, to notice the little things, to slow the room down and give you a piece of this season you can return to for years to come, that endless feeling of such a great love you have towards your child

Start a conversation

As mothers, we are so often behind the camera. We document everything but we forget to step into the frame ourselves. We tell ourselves we'll get photos later, when we feel more ready, more rested, more like ourselves.

Later rarely comes. And the season passes anyway.

One day, your children will reach for an old photograph. What they need to see is you. Proof that you were there. That you loved them fiercely. That you existed in the story beside them.



What Makes Genesis Imagery Different

Safety is not an afterthought. I am certified in physiological newborn posing, fully vaccinated, and trained in emergency protocols. Your baby is never left unattended, never forced into a pose, and never uncomfortable.

The session is baby-led. We pause for feeds, nappies, cuddles. There is no clock. The only schedule that matters is your baby's.

You arrive as you are. Eighteen designer maternity gowns. Professional wraps and props. Everything your baby needs. You bring yourself, we provide the rest.

The experience is intimate. My Pacific Pines studio is calm, warm, and private. I limit sessions to eight per month because every family deserves my full attention.



Take the Photo

If today felt overwhelming, or messy, or imperfect, know that one day these photographs will be treasures beyond compare. They won't be just pictures. They'll be evidence that you were there, that your child was deeply loved, that every moment was worth remembering.

Don't wait until you feel ready. You'll never feel ready. Book anyway. You'll thank yourself in ten years.



Let's Create Something Beautiful

If you're expecting, or your baby has just arrived, I would love to meet you.

 • Maternity sessions: Best around 32-36 weeks

 • Newborn sessions: Book during second trimester (if baby has arrived, I always accommodate late enquiries when I can.)

I currently have limited availability for July to September
