We love to capture stunning images of every beautiful mumma-to-be in one of the most exciting and celebrated times in your life (even if bump does like their all-night parties)! Our aim is to make you feel special and gorgeous whilst creating memories that you can show off to your friends and family.
We recommend planning to have your maternity photoshoot when you are around 29 to 36 weeks along in your pregnancy. So that you’ll have a beautiful bump and to lessen the chance of bub deciding they will be making a surprise early appearance. As this is a recommendation, we can also book you in to do your photoshoot in an alternate preferred week. However please keep in mind that if it is closer to your due date then you may be more likely to be uncomfortable.

Client Wardrobe
Client wardrobe
All clients have access to our client wardrobe, which you can view HERE using the password given to you at booking. Whilst we endeavour to update our client gallery as soon as we receive or retire dresses, we may not have updated our gallery at the time of your session preference submission. This means that not all options may be available for your selected date or we may have newer options that you would prefer.
If you are not yet a client of ours and would like to check out our wardrobe options, please contact us.
Photoshoot Dress Hire
We have partnered with Luxe Bumps Australia, a company that hires out beautiful gowns and dresses for photoshoots, and have secured a 15% discount for all clients on the hire rate of their wide range. Browse through their website Luxe Bumps Australia HERE
Dress Trade In Program
Maternity photoshoot dresses can be an investment if you are looking for a specific style or size range. On selling these can also prove difficult, which is why we have started our Dress Trade In Program. Under this program, you find the dress of your dreams and submit an application to us for approval. If the dress is something that we would love to include in our client wardrobe, we will approve it and give you the option of a discount on your session price at 70% of the dress purchase price OR a print credit for 80%.

How our sessions go
Booking questionnaire & pre-session consultation
After completing your booking information, we will send you a quick questionnaire to get you thinking about what you want your session to look like. We then go over this questionnaire in our pre-session consultation and organise your session around your preferences. This pre-session consultation is where we determine your shot list, like if your ultimate goal is to get the siblings coordinated so you can have a gorgeous mumma & bubs picture for the wall.
Open line of communication up until your session
We always keep an open line of communication with our clients, right from booking all the way to after you’ve received your final prints and images. This is super important to us as we know that it is key to making your experience with us special. We do have our own family and could be busy with other sessions or clients, so we may not always pick up the phone the second that you call, or reply to your 2am email right away… but we always will return your message as soon as we are able and typically on the same day.
Your session day
We typically arrive on-location at least 20 minutes before your scheduled time. This allows us to set up and scope out whether our favourite spots are available to use that day. We appreciate when you are at least 5-10 minutes early as we can start exactly on your session time. But we do acknowledge that sometimes we can’t help being a little late, if you’re running a little late for your session then shoot us a quick message so we know that you’re on your way. If you’re running a lot late, then we may have to reschedule depending on your remaining session time.
On your arrival, we confirm your shot list and check in with how everyone is that day. If little Jimmy decided to skip the nap and is grouchy, then we can reorganise our shot list to make those ones a priority. We work with your little ones and watch for their ‘I need a break’ cues, so are able to shoot as many of your ‘must-have’ shots as possible!
After your session
We choose a few (faintly watermarked) images to put up on our social pages as sneak peeks – this will be your first look at your lovely session! You do have the option to opt-out of these as we know that not everyone is comfortable or able to share images online.
Your proofing gallery is made available online after we have processed your images, usually about 2 weeks after your session. And we send you a booking link to select your preferred date & time for your complimentary post-session consultation. This post-session consultation can be done at our Harrisdale studio or via zoom and allows you to finalise your selections and go over your print ordering. If done in-studio, we display your images on our professionally colour-graded 32″ monitor and guide you through the optimal print sizes and our gallery product options.
We will also discuss final product and image delivery timeframes at this consultation as they will vary depending on your print and product choices.
