MATERNITY
The start of a story you'll never want to forget. maternity sessions that feel like a quiet embrace, filled with warmth, connection, and the anticipation of new life.
A BEAUTIFUL CHAPTER, FULL OF QUIET ANTICIPATION AND THE BEGINNING OF EVERYTHING.
One day, you’ll want to remember how it felt. That’s what I’m here for.
I’m a Melbourne-based maternity lifestyle photographer, capturing the quiet beauty and anticipation of pregnancy, documenting the stillness before everything changes.
Maternity sessions can take place in the comfort of your own home or outdoors during golden hour, whether that’s in your local neighbourhood, the Dandenong Ranges, or along the coastline of the Mornington Peninsula.
The sweet spot for maternity photos is usually between 30 and 35 weeks when your belly is beautifully round, but you’re still comfortable enough to relax and enjoy the experience.
Like all my sessions, these are slow, gentle, and led entirely by you. My aim is simple: to capture this in-between season with honesty, heart, and a little bit of magic so you can look back and remember what it felt like.

When is the best time for a maternity session?
The sweet spot is usually between 28 and 35 weeks of pregnancy. Your bump will be beautifully round, but you’ll still feel comfortable enough to move, walk, and enjoy the session. That said, every pregnancy is different. We’ll work around how you’re feeling to make sure the timing is just right for you.
Where do sessions take place?
Maternity sessions can be held in the comfort of your own home, where things feel relaxed and familiar, or outdoors in one of my favourite golden-light locations. Some families even like to combine the two, starting in-home, then taking a little wander through the neighbourhood.
How do we prepare?
Clothing makes such a difference, but it doesn’t have to be complicated. Flowy dresses, soft textures, or just simply jeans combined with a crop top. Anything that makes you feel beautiful and comfortable works perfectly. The most important thing is that these sessions are fun, laid-back, and candid.

Absolutely! I LOVE documenting the full journey. If you like to add on a 6 or 12 months session get in touch to chat about what journey I can document for you.
Do you offer a bump to baby bundle?
I recommend securing your session after your first trimester. I only take on 6 bookings per month and tend to book up 2-3 months in ahead, so please ensure to book well in advance to avoid disappointment. Maternity sessions are typically done at around 28-35 weeks of pregnancy.
when should we book our session?
Maternity sessions can be just of mum or the full family. These sessions are designed to capture your journey in that moment in time when you are about to welcome your new baby to the family. These sessions do not include grandparents or extended family members.
Who can be in the photos?
Absolutely! I love, love, love prints! It makes such a difference having your images printed on your walls. You will have access to my professional print lab within your online gallery. I offer loose prints, frames, albums and more. So there is no excuse to let your photos collect dust on your hard drive.
Can I order print products?
I recommend picking something that makes you feel beautiful and feels like YOU. Choosing the right out fit for your session is important and I am here to help. You can check my what to wear guide here. I am always happy to talk you through any questions you might have.
What should we wear??
I am personally a sucker for in-home session. This gives you the freedom to change and show some skin, without worrying about being in public. If you prefer an outdoor sunset session, we can have a chat about what feel you are after and you can pick one of my recommended locations or go with a spot that is close to your heart.
