Maternity Photography in Melbourne
STUDIO & OUTDOOR MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY SESSIONS
As one of Melbourne’s leading maternity photographers (recently named #1 Maternity Photographer in Melbourne 2024 & 2025 by Babyinfo), I offer relaxed, elegant pregnancy photoshoots – either in my Brighton studio in Melbourne’s Bayside, or at scenic outdoor locations around Melbourne.
I aim to make every session feel natural and relaxed, and I’ll guide you through both poses and natural shots. I am proud to say that my clients always comment after just how much fun they have!
A Maternity Photoshoot That’s All About You
My photography style focuses on soft lighting, timeless tones, and subtle editing to highlight your natural beauty. Each maternity photography session is personalised to reflect your vision and style, and I’m here with you every step of the way.
Before your session, I’ll work with you to plan your wardrobe and styling, making sure you feel relaxed and excited for the shoot.
Hair, Make Up, and Maternity Wardrobe
You’ll have full access to my studio wardrobe, filled with stunning fabrics and maternity gowns, all included in your maternity photography session fee. I’m happy to chat with you before the session regarding styling to ensure we achieve photographs you fall in love with!
If you’re looking for something extra special, I’ve partnered with Mama Rentals, who offer my clients a 15% discount on premium maternity gown rentals for your shoot. As an optional extra, I also work with a fabulous hair and makeup artist who can help you feel your most beautiful for your session. You can ask me for these referrals at booking time.
Bookings, Packages, and What to Expect After Your Session
At the time of booking, a non-refundable retainer of $150 is required to secure your spot.
Packages start at $525, including six finely crafted, high-resolution digital images.
Your package also includes a voucher toward printed products like wall art or keepsake albums.
Around 2 to 3 weeks after your pregnancy maternity photoshoot, you’ll be invited back to my studio to view your gallery. I focus on low-volume, high-quality imagery, so expect a carefully curated set of around 50 beautifully composed photographs. You’ll then select your package based on the images you love most.
If you’d like to document your full motherhood journey, I’m also a newborn and baby photographer, so please ask about combined packages when booking!

Maternity photos are best captured around 30-36 weeks when you have a nice round bump.
You can contact me at any time during your pregnancy to book a tentative time for your session, although it is advisable to secure your session in the second trimester. Closer to delivery, we can confirm the date. -
You have a choice of studio or outdoors: I have a cosy, well equipped pregnancy photo studio in Brighton, bayside Melbourne. It’s filled with beautiful light – perfect for capturing photos of your pregnancy journey. I also offer outdoor sessions at a location of your choice, within a 10km radius of Hampton, Vic. To ensure a seamless and focused experience, sessions are held at either a studio or an outdoor location (not both).

If you’d like professional hair and makeup for your pregnancy photography session, I can connect you with trusted artists who specialise in enhancing natural beauty. Payment is made directly to them.

After the session, I take some time to roughly edit your images. Around 1 to 2 weeks later, I will invite you back to the studio, and I will show you a select number of photos from the session. You choose your package on this day. Packages start at $525 for six finely crafted and edited digital images and their complimentary prints. I then take your chosen images and polish them up, then share the final images with you via Dropbox.
-
You’ve invested a lot in your photos, so they should be worthy of your walls. I work with professional printers who use fine art archival quality paper, canvases and inks. This means no over-saturation or colour changes in your prints – and no colour fading with time – so your prints will literally last for your grandchildren to see and touch.
