Here's Why I can't wait to

document your pregnancy

The experience you have means everything to me! When you book in for Perth maternity photography, I promise you a fully luxurious experience that matches the quality of my work. I want you to be smiling, laughing, and feeling at ease throughout the entire process. I will guide you every step of the way. Being a mother of four myself, I'm already so excited for you. I would love to be a part of your journey!

Hiring a photographer who not only has the style you love, but also a fun, caring attitude is so important. And that's exactly what you get with me. You will never regret capturing your pregnancy. It may feel like you’ve been growing your baby forever and you might not have loved every moment. But I can promise you that years from now, you will look back and celebrate how incredible you really looked, and wonder how on

earth your body grew the toddler standing in front of you.


When you receive your online gallery, you will see your beautiful bump ... feel the love ... and the anticipation of meeting your baby. These memories should never be forgotten and it is why I help you print tangible copies for your home to go along with your digital files. Since professionally printed products will last more than a lifetime - every time you look at your photographs on the walls in your house, in your albums, and everywhere else that they are displayed - you will always remember this special moment in time.

"NO ONE ELSE WILL EVER KNOW THE STRENGTH OF MY LOVE FOR YOU. AFTER ALL,

YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS THE SOUND OF MY HEART FROM THE INSIDE"

PERTH MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY

WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR MATERNITY PHOTOSHOOT

Whether it’s your first or fourth, pregnancy is a fleeting time in your life. I’d love to capture it for you with Perth maternity photography. Your body is transforming in beautiful ways to reflect the new life growing within. You are becoming a mother. You’ll always remember hearing your baby’s first heartbeat, the first kick, and their tiny little hiccups. Of course you should record the changes you see as well, by documenting your beautiful pregnancy. Maternity photos are personal and documents the changes in your body and how gorgeous you look!

You may choose to have your maternity photoshoot as just the two of us – a private, intimate affair. Or we can include dad and your other children if you have any. This is your day, your session. You get to decide how you’d like it be!

WHEN TO SCHEDULE YOUR PERTH MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION

The best time to book in for your Perth maternity photo shoot is when you are between 32-36 weeks pregnant. This guarantees full round bellies, but hopefully not the discomfort of late pregnancy! Expect our time together to last half an hour for a mini session or an hour for the full session. Studio maternity photography sessions are scheduled mid morning. Outdoor maternity photography usually starts about an hour before sunset. 

WHAT LOCATIONS ARE BEST FOR PERTH MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY

Whether it’s in my studio, or somewhere outdoors, the location of your photoshoot sets the mood and tone for the images. Some women are more comfortable taking photos in a studio setting. Others prefer the beach or a beautiful field of flowers. And there is others still who want to strip down and celebrate their amazing bodies in all it’s glory. I have a trove of my favourite local photo spots if you would like some suggestions. Please ask, I am always happy to make recommendations!

HOW TO POSE DURING A MATERNITY PHOTOSHOOT

Nearly all of my clients say that they feel awkward in front of the camera. I expect it! You will never know exactly what do, but trust in me as a specialist in maternity photography, I will guide you the entire time. We’ll be chasing magical light and stunning backdrops, and I’ll be telling you what to do to get the most natural poses that show off your bump and family connection.

WHAT TO WEAR TO A MATERNITY PHOTOSHOOT

When booking a full Perth maternity photography session, we have time for multiple outfit changes. I think jeans and an open shirt, a gown or dress, and underwear or swimwear is a great choice. We always start with the most clothing so you feel the most comfortable. Then if you are keen we can show off more skin to whatever degree you’re happy with! If we are at the beach or river you can of course jump in the water. I recommend it to get some truly beautiful photos. Don’t forget to bring your towel!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

frequently

asked

questions

01

WHEN SHOULD I SCHEDULE THE SESSION?

Maternity sessions are best taken around the 32-36 week mark. When you have a nice big belly, but aren’t too uncomfortable.

02

Yes! I photograph all members of the family – welcoming a new human into your clan is important for everyone.

03

WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR?

I provide assistance and direction with styling for all my clients by sharing a detailed wardrobe guide after the booking fee is paid. I also offer a small mamma wardrobe.

 

Plain and simple works best, with clothes which show off the bump. For partners, anything co-ordinating with you is perfect – keep it simple and steer clear of any large checks, spots, stripes or logos.

04

This is completely up to you, I know you will look beautiful in front of the camera no matter what! I do find that mumma’s who invest a little bit in themselves, feel just that little bit more fabulous in front of the camera. And how you feel is what it’s all about at the end of the day!

So if it’s a good excuse to find 45 minutes to escape to be pampered, then go for it!

05

I book family maternity sessions outdoors. The more intimate maternity sessions are perfect for my home studio.

 

A list of my locations is sent to you once you have locked in a date. But I know you want to be inspired, so I have them summarised under the info tab.

06

WHY DO SESSIONS START SO LATE?

My outdoor sessions always start around one hour before sunset. This is because the last light of the day is the most flattering. For young children this can seem quite late compared to their usual schedule. Try as hard as you can to make sure they don't miss their nap the day of the shoot. Make sure they have a full meal before coming - nobody wants a "hangry" outburst. Pack 'clean' snacks and water to keep everyone going once we start shooting.

07

I'M LATE FOR A SUNSET SHOOT?

Please do everything you can to arrive on time to your sunset sessions. The time of your shoot has been chosen specifically because of the light at that time, at that location. Starting too early and the sun is too strong, too late and we are losing the light.

08

DO YOU SHARE IMAGES ONLINE?

Of course! There is no better way to share with my future clients the results they should expect from a session with me. I never use anyone's names though, the world doesn't need to know that. If you have any court orders or other issues about photos being used online, I am very understanding. Please just let me know.

PHOTO EDITING

YOUR PHOTO LEGACY STARTS HERE!

After we have completed your photoshoot, your session images will be loaded onto my computer. Then begins the culling process so that you are presented with only the very best images. I will apply my signature colour edit to your gallery and deliver these to you.

 

Once you have selected your package and the included images, I will individually hand edit this selection. I will be looking for blemishes, bugs, obvious background elements ... fine tuning until they are ready for final delivery.

HEIRLOOM PRODUCTS

FINE ART PRODUCTS, HANDCRAFTED MEMORIES!

I know we live in a digital era and everyone wants to keep their digital files. I believe that you should be able to print and share your images as many times as you'd like, and that's why every session includes your choice of digital files with a print release included in my packages. The sad thing is that digital files do not last - they either corrupt or technology advances so much that they can no longer be accessed.

 

So this is my reminder for you to print your photos. My print store gives you access to timeless, heirloom pieces to hang on your wall, display on your shelves or fill your albums. Professional, archival quality products are an absolute must!
