FAQ’S
I photograph pregnancy and newborn babies in my studio in Thornbury, just a few minutes north of Melbourne’s CBD.
My outdoor maternity photoshoots are done in some of Melbourne’s beautiful inner-city parks and laneways, or at some of Victoria’s quieter beaches.
I’ve been a maternity and newborn photographer for 17 years, so have been lucky enough to photograph hundreds of Melbourne’s growing families.
The optimum timing from a newborn photographer’s perspective is within the first two weeks, if everything has gone smoothly with the birth and you are both feeeling up to it. Bubs will be super sleepy, still all curled up and still teeny tiny to pose into the creative poses you see in my gallery.
How I work is I pencil in your due date at the time of booking, and then we confirm the date and time once bubs arrives.
It’s never too early – the earlier in your pregnancy the better to guarantee you a spot.
Once you decide you want to work with me, the easiest option is to give me a call on 0416 224 152 or send me a message.
I find the optimum timing for maternity portrait sessions is anytime between 28 – 36 weeks, but I have done them right up to due dates in the past. As everyone’s body carries their pregnancy differently I work with you to find the ideal time to do so you bump will be nice and showing but before you’re too exhausted to enjoy your photoshoot.
