Maternity Photography
Capturing the Glow of Motherhood
Maternity Experience
Pregnancy wasn’t always easy for me. The sickness, the discomfort, the constant shifts—I spent more time counting down the days than soaking them in. And now, I wish I’d taken more time to really honour that season.
It’s funny how, once your baby is in your arms and the bump is gone, you start to miss it. The way your body held them, the gentle kicks, the quiet anticipation of who they might be. It’s a kind of magic that passes by quietly—and quickly.
If I could go back, I’d tell myself this: take the photos. Not because everything feels perfect, but because this moment matters. You won’t regret having something beautiful to look back on—something that reminds you just how incredible this chapter really was.
Every maternity session is carefully crafted to bring out the beauty in your unique journey. From wardrobe selections to location planning, I’m here to guide you every step of the way to ensure that your photoshoot is everything you’ve envisioned.
Each collection includes a selection of high-resolution digital images, with upgrade options for stunning albums and wall art. I also offer flexible payment plans and Afterpay.
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
- We’ll discuss your vision for the shoot, from styling to location, ensuring your session is tailored to your desires.
- Choose from a curated collection of elegant, timeless dresses available in a variety of sizes. I will also provide tips and advice on what to wear, hair, and makeup to ensure you feel confident and beautiful.
- A relaxed and enjoyable experience in your choice of location—whether it’s the beach, a golden field, or my natural light studio.

Cherish Your Bump
"We got exactly what we wanted out of our photos and Mel made us feel comfortable in front of a camera. She was willing and able to try new things and went out of her way to capture unique and beautiful images that will last a life time! They are photos I'm excited to show my children when they are older"
