As a maternity photographer, I aim to capture the authentic beauty of your pregnancy journey in a natural, intimate, and relaxed way. Whether it’s the sun-soaked beaches, serene bushlands, or even a cozy in-home setting, your location should tell your story. Here are five stunning Perth locations that offer the perfect backdrop for the style of photography I bring to every session.
1. Beach Vibes – Soft Sunsets
Perth’s beaches, like Cottesloe, North Cottesloe, Leighton, City Beach, Trigg, Marmion, Sorrento... I mean literally the entire coast, offer a beautiful blend of calm and open space for a maternity shoot. Imagine the soft glow of the sun setting, gentle waves, and the sand beneath your feet. I aim to capture the gentle movements of the sea and the warmth of the sun, giving your photos a soft, dreamlike quality. Whether it’s barefoot on the beach or a serene moment with the waves, this location is perfect for a relaxed and peaceful vibe.
2. Bushland Bliss – Connection with Nature
For a more earthy and grounded feel, Perth’s bushland areas, such as Kings Park or John Forrest National Park, offer stunning natural settings. The golden hour light filtering through trees, paired with the rustic tones of wildflowers and foliage, provides a peaceful, serene backdrop. I love using these landscapes to create images that feel connected to nature and exude warmth and tranquility. If you’re seeking a natural, timeless look, bushland captures this perfectly.
3. Underwater Ocean Maternity – Wild and Untamed Beauty
For the adventurous mums-to-be, an underwater ocean maternity shoot captures the power and grace of the sea. The natural light filtering through the water, combined with the flowing movements of the ocean, creates truly ethereal images. This type of session allows for a deep connection with nature, where the weightlessness of the water enhances the curves and beauty of pregnancy. I love focusing on the fluidity and grace of each moment, capturing you in a way that feels free and wild, as if you’re one with the ocean itself.
4. Underwater Pool Maternity – Artistic and Graceful
If you prefer a controlled environment, a pool offers the same weightless, ethereal feel of underwater photography but in a more contained setting. With clear water, reflective surfaces, and controlled lighting, underwater pool sessions create stunning, graceful images. I work to capture the softness of pregnancy in a unique and artistic way, using the water to enhance the beauty of your form. The result? Dreamy, flowing images that feel serene and peaceful, offering a truly artistic maternity shoot.
5. In-Home Comfort – Your Personal Story
There’s nothing more intimate than documenting this special time in the comfort of your own home. Whether you’re snuggled up in bed, preparing the nursery, or sharing a quiet moment with your partner, in-home sessions focus on the genuine warmth of your space. I love capturing the everyday moments and subtle interactions that tell your story, creating images that feel authentic and deeply personal. With natural light pouring in through your windows, these shoots have a cozy, intimate feel that makes each photo unique to you.
6. Local Café or Neighbourhood – A Lifestyle Reflection
For those who want to incorporate a bit of lifestyle into their maternity shoot, why not consider your local café or neighbourhood? Whether you’re enjoying a coffee at your favourite spot or walking the streets of your community, these locations offer a charming, familiar setting. I focus on capturing the beauty in your everyday life, from the warmth of a bustling café to the simplicity of a quiet walk. This option is perfect for personalising your shoot and reflecting the life you live.
Every maternity shoot I do is about celebrating your unique journey – whether you feel drawn to the ocean’s waves, the quiet serenity of the bushland, or the coziness of home. I use natural light, soft textures, and intimate settings to create timeless, genuine images that reflect who you are. Let’s capture this chapter of your life in a way that feels authentic and true to you.
