MATERNITY PHOTOSHOOTS
Welcome to Chapter 1 of motherhood!
This truly beautiful experience of carrying and growing your baby deserves to be celebrated...for both you and your baby. It's where their story begins after all.
As your pregnancy progresses you'll no doubt feel like it's the longest 9 months of your life as you grow increasingly impatient waiting to meet your little companion, however, once baby arrives and you're totally consumed with them on the outside you'll quickly forget how you looked, how you felt, and how big you were.
So let's capture this time, these memories.....for you and them.
Combine a maternity + newborn photoshoot to save $100 on your session fee and even more on your collection, please contact me for details.

YOUR MATERNITY QUESTIONS ANSWERED
WHEN SHOULD I BOOK A MATERNITY PHOTOSHOOT?
I find the ideal timing for maternity photoshoots is typically between 32-36 weeks. You'll be far enough along to have a beautiful full baby bump to photograph, but it'll be before you're too exhausted.
It's never too early in your pregnancy to book your maternity photoshoot, in fact, the earlier the better to guarantee you a spot in my calendar. I have done them right up to due dates in the past so if you have left it till the last week or two give me a call and I'll try my best to fit you in.
WHAT IS A MATERNITY PHOTOSHOOT LIKE?
If you're anything like around 95% of the ladies who come to me for a maternity photoshoot you're probably feeling unsure and quite nervous about being in front of the camera. I feel you - I hate being in front of the camera so I aim to keep my pregnancy shoots as relaxed and as fun as possible for you.
I'm well experienced at putting people at ease in front of my camera and guiding you into flattering but natural poses throughout their photoshoot, so don't panic I got you.
UNSURE IF YOU WANT TO DO A MATERNITY PHOTOSHOOT?
If you're still undecided about doing a maternity shoot, you're in good company, many of my past clients felt that way when booking also.
But after 14 years of photographing pregnant ladies, 100% of my past maternity clients DO NOT REGRET doing a maternity photoshoot during their pregnancy. Whereas around 70% of my past newborn clients who didn't do a maternity photoshoot DO REGRET not capturing memories of their pregnancy. Many of those 70% opt to do a maternity shoot with their second/third/fourth baby.
If you're nervous it's totally natural to be, but I got you. I'll guide you through a range of poses that'll flatter your body shape while highlighting your beautiful baby bump. I photograph Mums to be of all shapes and sizes, so you trust me no one is too big, too small, has too many stretch marks/wrinkles/bags under their eyes/cankles....
Your pregnancy body and bump is as perfect as the baby you're growing inside it. Celebrate it. Celebrate you!
WHERE DO YOU DO YOUR MATERNITY PHOTOSHOOTS?
You have the option of either:
- a studio maternity photoshoot
- an outdoor maternity photoshoot
Indoor pregnancy photoshoots are held in my studio in Thornbury just a few minutes from Melbourne CBD.
For my outdoor pregnancy photoshoots, I have a bank of 'go to' locations that I've carefully scouted over the years which provide perfect backdrops for your pregnancy photos, or I'm happy to try new locations if you have somewhere of special significance in mind.
If you're torn between a studio photoshoot and an outdoor photoshoot, we can do a half-and-half maternity session - half in the studio and half outdoors.
* Please note: Half-and-half shoots are longer and incur an additional $50 session fee
DO YOU HAVE A MATERNITY WARDROBE?
YES.
My maternity client wardrobe is a curated collection of timeless pregnancy outfits - fitted dresses, lace dresses, skirts and crop tops, body suits, and robes all of which highlight your baby bump and flatter your incredible new figure.
My studio wardrobe helps create timeless portraits and beautiful pregnancy silhouettes that won't date as the years pass and trends come and go.
HOW LONG IS A MATERNITY PHOTOSHOOT?
My maternity photoshoots take about an hour which gives us enough time for outfit changes, photos of Mum by herself as well as with your partner/older children.
DO YOU SELL DIGITAL IMAGES?
YES.
All of my collections include digital images or alternatively, I also offer digital-only collections which start from 500 for Just Bump sessions.
DO YOU SELL MATERNITY PHOTOSHOOT GIFT VOUCHERS?
YES.
If you'd like to purchase a meaningful gift for a loved one, friend or colleague please contact me for more details.
