Maternity Photography
Capturing the Glow of Motherhood
Maternity Experience
Pregnancy is such a unique and fleeting chapter of life. Looking back, my biggest regret is not capturing more photos of my bump—I would hate for you to feel the same!
I’ll be honest, pregnancy wasn’t always an easy journey for me. The sickness, the discomfort, the constant changes—it had me counting down the days rather than embracing the moment. That mindset stopped me from truly appreciating those precious months, and now, I deeply regret not documenting them more.
It’s funny how, no matter how uncomfortable or exhausted you feel during pregnancy, once your baby arrives and your bump is gone, you find yourself missing it. That’s when it really hits—your body just created and nurtured a whole new life, and that’s something worth celebrating and remembering.
If I could give my past self one piece of advice, it would be this: take the time to capture the beauty of your bump. Because one day, you’ll look back and wish you had those memories to hold onto.
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.
Maternity photography collections start at $750.

"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"
