It is such a special time in your life just before your little one(s) arrive, whether it is your first pregnancy or not, every time is unique and precious. We can capture your beautiful bump in a solo shoot or with your partner and/or family (fur babies are welcome too!).
Maternity sessions can be held in the comfort of your own home, or at sunset in the great outdoors. As I only work with natural light I have a few stunning tried and tests locations we can use including the beach, hills or parks all within 2 hours travel from Melbourne. Alternatively, if you have a location in mind please let me know and we can discuss options.
Maternity photographs are best taken between 32-36 weeks of your pregnancy and so are best to be booked in advance, so you don’t miss out. Sessions last for 2 hours.
I also offer package options for maternity and newborn / fresh 72 shoot.
In Home
Those first moments with your brand-new baby are so special! I will capture those little details you don’t want to forget such as the cute facial expressions, tiny yawns, curled up sleeps and tiny hands and feet. These moments are so precious, and I love to capture your moments of pure love.
In home shoots
Newborn sessions generally take place in the comfort of your own home as it is the perfect setting to showcase your personal style with all your favourite items around you. The home sessions have a lifestyle approach, which provides a homely feel, incorporating as many details of your life and your newborn story.
If you are after a natural style newborn photos with some natural looking wrapping as well as family photos this might be the session for you. Parents, siblings, & grandparents are all welcome. The best time to capture those unique newborn moments are within the first 6 weeks of the new arrival.
If you would rather move outdoors to one of my locations, please let me know and we can discuss options.
What to expect:
I offer package options for maternity and newborn / fresh 72 shoots.
In Studio
I offer the option to capture those newborn moments within my home studio and – lifestyle space in St Kilda. The studio sessions are perfect for those who prefer not to be photographed in their home. This session has a more ‘posed’ newborn style to it. My style is natural, but we will use some simple props, wraps, blankets and textures and we take the time and care to transition the baby into different curled up womb like poses with a setting of different colours.
The best time to capture those unique newborn moments are within the first 2 weeks of the new arrival. Parents, siblings, & grandparents are welcome just let me know in advance.
What to expect:
A fresh 72 shoot captures your newborn within the first 72 hours of its life. Following a booking just text me as soon as your little one is on its way or just arrived and I will get to the hospital to capture those precious raw, early moments.
What to expect
The focus is on the newborn, parents can be in the photos if they are happy to be or we can just focus on the little one. I can be there for the first meetings with grandparents, siblings etc.
The session times last 1-2 hours dependant on how everyone is feeling.
Every session is tailor-made to suit your ideas.
I specialise in on-location Maternal, newborn, fresh 48 and family photography. I love taking photos of your family, newborns, babies and children. I work with a relaxed approach and all natural light, so not too much posing.
