MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY

Pregnancy can be a special time for some but not for every woman… No matter how you feel about your pregnancy journey, I will help you feel beautiful for a few hours and help you record moments in time so you can value your baby journey for years to come.

I offer both studio and outdoor maternity photo shoots (I am unable to offer both in one session). In Melbourne, there are many wonderful outdoor venues for maternity photography.  Or, if you prefer, I have an amazing studio in Brighton, Bayside Melbourne which is equipped with beautiful light and backdrops perfect for maternity photography. I have curated an extensive maternity gown wardrobe , and also, fabrics for you to wear which is included in my fee.

My sessions are always relaxed, and I will guide you through posing and more natural photos. Partners and children are welcome in the session and this does not incur an extra fee.

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. 

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!

I had my maternity and newborns photos captured by Susan and couldn’t have been more happy with the outcome! There are some beautiful shots. She is so talented and highly recommend!
