Why Choose Underwater Maternity?


An underwater maternity is for the Mumma who wants something truly unique, feminine and memorable. What I love about these sessions is the experience the shoot offers just as much as the photos.

Why I love Underwater Maternity Shoots


Underwater maternity sessions capture your bump in a soft, feminine and timeless way that beautifully highlights this season of pregnancy.


What I love most is that it’s not just about the photos. It’s about the experience itself — taking time for you and your baby, and celebrating a chapter that moves so quickly.


These aren’t just maternity photos.

They’re a celebration of motherhood, connection, and the incredible journey you’re already on with your little one.

WHAT TO EXPECT

I. Book the date.

From our very first contact to the day of your shoot, I'm always thinking about timing—both for your comfort and for the best possible conditions. Whether that's planning around your pregnancy, chasing beautiful light or waiting for the ocean to be at its best, every decision is made with you and your experience in mind.  We'll work together to lock in the perfect date and start planning your session.


II. STYLING CALL.

Around a month before your shoot, we'll have a styling call where we can chat through everything. It's the perfect time to ask any questions, talk about outfits, discuss the overall vibe you're hoping for and share inspiration if you have it. Some mums come with a clear vision, while others love a more natural, organic feel. Whatever your style, I'm here to create a session that feels like you.

III. THE SESSION

On the day, whether we're in the ocean or the pool, I'll guide you every step of the way. You don't need any underwater experience or know how to pose. I'll gently direct you throughout the session, making sure you feel comfortable, confident and supported while we create beautiful images to remember this incredible season of your life. We'll only be underwater for a few seconds at a time, with plenty of breaks in between, so there's never any pressure to push yourself beyond what feels comfortable. I always priorities your comfort and promise to capture some stunning photos in what really is such an epic way to celebrate this very special season.

FAQ

"What If I've Never Done This Before?"



The answer is... that's totally okay!

To be honest, most of the mums I photograph haven't even been for a swim since falling pregnant, and many wouldn't describe themselves as confident swimmers. We take everything at your pace, only staying underwater for a few seconds at a time with plenty of breaks in between.

My role is to guide you, encourage you and make sure you feel safe and supported throughout the entire session. 

When is the best time for a Maternity Session?

I recommend mums book in between the 32 and 36 week mark. Often this is when your bump as "popped" and you still feel comfortable enough for the posing and movement in the water. However in saying that I have shot mums on their due dates!


If you are at all concerned please check in with your midwife or care provider.

How far in Advance should I book?


I always tell mums please reach out around the 12 week mark so we can find a time that works for you. I only take on a limited underwater shoots per month so to avoid disappointment this is the ideal time.

FAQ

Do you do ocean shoots?


I absolutely do offer ocean shoots. I LOVE shooting in the ocean, however its seasonal due to water clarity. I do shoot in a heated and private pool all year round. If you have your heart set on an ocean shoot I'd recommend having a winter baby ;) or take me along on your babymoon where the clarity is epic most of the time.

What is a Styling Call


This is the call that really makes all the difference. About a month out from the shoot I'll give you a call where I can answer all your questions and we can chat through what you could bring for styling, what vibe you'd like to capture and and inspo you have for the session.

This call helps me know what to work towards when creating your images.



Do I need to be able to swim?


For the ocean, yes I do require all my mums to be able to swim and feel comfortable in the surf. The ocean is unpredictable so its not something that is safe for everyone. However this is why I love having a heated private pool on offer. This is an option for all mummas who want to capture something really unique. Its safe, warm and available on the date we need it. So if you're not a confident swimmer, no worries at all! The pool is for you and we will get some epic shots of you in this beautiful season!
