Maternity Lifestyle Photography Melbourne

It's such a delight when I meet new clients who are expecting their first child and overjoyed with the prospect of being parents.  Tim and Yuri found each other in South America and decided to raise their baby in Tim's home town of Melbourne.  

Yuri has precious heirlooms that had strong significance to her, which we used during the shoot.  It really makes the session so personal when you can use items that you have such a strong attachment too.

Can't wait to meet your new, little bub!

The Wonder of Motherhood!

It's an amazing thing, almost a surreal time in a woman's life when she's expecting.  To feel your baby's movement and knowing that a new life is growing inside of you can't be compared.   To celebrate her third pregnancy and maybe her last, Marnie called me to photograph her.  You make a beautiful mother Marnie and both your girls will be gorgeous big sisters.   

Why Maternity Photos are Important!

The Importance of Maternity Photos

Being pregnant can bring a lot of difficult trials but it's an amazing time in your life.  It is a time of anticipation as you prepare to meet your little bundle of joy. It’s a time where you become strong – stronger than you ever thought you could possibly be. During this time, you create your initial bond with your child that will continue throughout your entire lives.

There are very few women who actually feel like they are beautiful while they are pregnant – especially during the first pregnancy. However, the miracle of pregnancy is a beautiful thing. Swollen feet, stretch marks, and hormone changes aside – you are growing a real live human being inside of you. All of those side effects come from different things your body has to do to help nourish and protect your baby.

You are beautiful, and you should take the time to celebrate these changes and this amazing moment in your life. These photos will be a great gift to pass down to your child as an heirloom of your first memories with them. This is something they can treasure forever.

I usually aim to take photos around the 32 week mark.  I know what it feels like when your pregnant, conscious of your changing body shape but I photograph you in the most flattering poses. 

To celebrate Spring and new life, book a newborn session and receive a FREE maternity session. 

Won't be Long Now!

It's been a long time coming but baby is nearly here!!

An Exciting Time.....

The arrival of your first child is full of anticipation and wonder...wonder at what you'll be like as parents and how your lives will be changed forever.  This gorgeous couple will make beautiful parents as I know how much they've been waiting for this little bundle of joy!

It was a 'Bump & Baby' Workshop weekend! / Newborn/Pregnancy Photography

I had the privilege of spending a wonderful weekend with the talented photographer Anya Maria Photography.  It was so inspirational watching Anya work and meeting other fellow photographers from around Melbourne.  Thank you to all our models, you did such a wonderful job.  I can't help but be clucky since I met your beautiful, wee ones but at least I get to photograph these cute little bundles of joy.   If you are thinking of having newborn photos, contact me with your approximate delivery date so to pencil you in the first week following the birth.  As you can see pregnancy photos can be beautiful even though you're feeling uncomfortable and big.  Best to do those photos around the 32 - 34 week mark.
