Couple’s maternity photoshoot by Sydney Harbour Bridge

Sharing your last maternity moments, days or weeks before your baby comes along is definitely worth celebrating and capturing – your partnership, and your pregnancy body. Iconic Sydney Harbour makes a gorgeous backdrop.

Mark this moment in time – you really won’t regret having pregnancy photos taken, but you’ll regret not doing it. Whether you’ve had an ‘easy’ ride or a long and difficult journey, every experience deserves to be treasured and remembered in photos.

Document the beginnings of your parenthood together – having maternity photos together involves your partner in the memories and anticipation counting down the time until you meet your newborn baby. This is the gift that keeps giving – in years to come, your ‘baby’ will absolutely love seeing these photos when they’re older. It’s pretty hard for them to imagine they were in your tummy – and by the time they’re at school, you’ll find it hard to believe too.

When it comes to the feel of the photos and the location you’re after, think of somewhere that’s special to you. This spot captures the iconic Sydney Harbour backdrop, the Harbour Bridge and the city skyline, without looking or feeling touristy. It marks a moment in time, especially if you’re from overseas and having your baby here, or if you might be moving away from Sydney in the future.

For what to wear, go for something you feel good in. Take a few selfies to see if you like how your outfit looks in photos, and have an idea of what you’ll both wear and how it looks together. You might choose something depending on the time of day of your session, whether it’s sunrise or sunset.

Take a moment to acknowledge all you’ve been through the last eight or so months. You’ve been growing a human which is an incredible achievement.

We offer a great Bump & Baby package, which as one of our mums said, is a no-brainer. You don’t need to remember to book a newborn baby session, as it will be in the diary.
