MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY

(Please scroll down for more of my portfolio)

As one of Melbourne’s leading pregnancy photographers (I was proud to be recently named Number 1 Maternity Photographer in Melbourne 2024 according to Babyinfo), I offer maternity photography sessions in my Brighton, Bayside Melbourne studio or on location in the Melbourne outdoors.

I have curated an extensive maternity gown wardrobe , and also, fabrics for you to wear which are included in my fee. My photography style uses posing, lighting and natural post production to create beautiful images that is tailored to your vision for your pregnancy photos.

My pregnancy photo sessions are always relaxed, and I will guide you through both posed and more natural photos. Partners and children are welcome in the session and this does not incur an extra fee. I am really proud that even my most self conscious clients always comment after their pregnancy photos, just how much fun they have in these sessions. Sessions usually take 60-90 minutes.

I always aim to work closely with you to achieve the vision you have for your images. This will involve a chat upon booking and if you require help with styling before the session.

If you are after a truly special gown for your shoot, Mama Rentals offer my clients amazing service and a 15% discount on their gown rentals.

As an optional extra, I 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.

After the photo session you will be invited to my studio to view the images I have selected– as I shoot for low volume, high quality, this is usually over 50 images per session.  You can choose your package from this gallery. You are required to pay a non-refundable retainer of $150 upon booking. Packages start at $525 for 6 finely crafted and edited digital images and a voucher you can use towards printed products.

I do offer combined packages with newborn photo sessions - Please ask me upon booking.

“I was so unsure about having a maternity shoot. I felt so self conscious and thought I would feel silly. I am SO GLAD I stepped outside of my comfort zone and had a shoot with you Susan! I felt so very beautiful on the day and had so much fun. It was a really fun couple of hours. I was so blown away with the beautiful images you created and will treasure them forever. Absolutely no regrets at all!”
