It isher for a shoot. the timing of Martine’s shots that captures the candid and natural beauty of family interaction, that we love so much. We treasure all our photos for this very reason. Martine has such a creative eye, and her passion for what she does really shows in her work. Feeling so lucky to have found a photographer that understands exactly what we are after every time we book her for a shoot. Thank you Martine. You are amazing!”

MATERNITY REVIEW * * * * * “We had such a fantastic maternity shoot with Martine. I always have reservations about getting photos done as my husband and I are always a little awkward in front of the camera but Martine put us at ease and offered some guidance while also giving lots of space for us to be ourselves. I am in love with all of the images!”

MOTHERHOOD MINI REVIEW * * * * * “An exceptionally professional and exhilarating experience. I am overjoyed to have found Martine and am so glad I invited her into our home. I fell in love with her work instantly but didn’t think my own shots would compare to her other work- but boy was I wrong! Not only do I feel empowered and so in love with what my body has created and achieved, but I am so grateful that she has captured such a milestone in our lives in a raw and natural way. The best thing I’ve ever done for myself.”

Hi my name is Janine. I’ve been so lucky to work with many mums, dads, babies and their families over the past 30 years as a registered nurse specialising in obstetrics and as a trained mentor, birth and postpartum doula, educator and mum of 3.  I’m truly passionate about supporting families as they grow and transition into their wonderful fourth trimester and settle into life as parents and as a new family.  It’s a joy to see parents grow in confidence and enjoy this precious time surrounded by love, nourishment, nurturing care, practical help, and a kind guiding hand to support them. Caring for the new and healing mum is so important as she is able to rest and get to know her little one.

Hi, I’m Dr. Erin Hawken, a passionate Chiropractor dedicated to supporting mothers, babies, and families in their journey to a calm, clear, connected and resilient life. Having completed my postgraduate study in Chiropractic care for pregnancy, babies and children and being certificatied in the Webster technique, I have almost 20 years experience in looking after families through all the important times in life.

My journey in chiropractic began in my own family, where regular Chiropractic care was our first approach to health. This lifelong experience taught me that Chiropractic is more than just treating symptoms – it’s about creating a pathway to better living, healing, and connection.

I care for people with many different needs including:

• Newborns struggling with constipation, feeding issues, or reflux
• Mothers experiencing pregnancy-related discomfort or simply wanting to optimise their body for birth and beyond
• Children struggling to meet their developmental milestones
• Families seeking holistic health and stress management
• Professionals dealing with stress, sleep issues, energy and mood challenges

My gentle, compassionate approach focuses on helping your nervous system change gears into your parasympathetic, rest & digest state – this is where your body can truly regulate and regenerate itself. This state is crucial for healing, development, creativity, and even experiencing deeper connections with yourself and your loved ones.

Whether you’re an expecting mother, a new parent, or simply someone seeking a more balanced, resilient approach to health, I’m here to support you. My goal is to help you rediscover life through a healthier body and a more clear, connected state of being. Let’s work together to unlock your body’s incredible potential for healing, growth, and well-being.

As a fellow parent and doula, I understand the complex journey of parenthood. It's a time of immense growth and adaptation, where having evidence-based knowledge and a supportive community can make a huge difference.
