Welcoming a new life into the world is a magical journey filled with love, excitement, and anticipation. Maternity photography is a beautiful way to capture these fleeting moments and preserve them forever. Whether you're looking to celebrate your pregnancy glow, involve your family, or plan a seamless transition into newborn photography, a maternity photoshoot is the perfect way to treasure this special time.
At Bunch Photography, I specialise in creating timeless and heartfelt maternity and newborn portraits in the Western suburbs of Melbourne. As a newborn and family photographer, I understand the importance of documenting these cherished milestones with creativity and care.
Why Book a Maternity Photoshoot?
Maternity photography is about more than just capturing beautiful images—it’s about celebrating your journey into parenthood, or preserving the journey of your family adding a new family member. From a range stunning outdoor locations in Werribee and the surrounding Western Suburbs of Melbourne, maternity photoshoots can be tailored to reflect your unique personality and style.
How to Plan the Perfect Maternity Photoshoot
When it comes to maternity photography, planning ahead is key to ensuring your session is as stress-free as possible. Here are some tips to help you prepare for your maternity photoshoot:
Timing is Everything
The best time to schedule your maternity photoshoot is typically between 26-34 weeks of pregnancy. This allows you to capture that beautiful baby bump while still feeling comfortable and glowing. Of course, this timeline can vary based on how you're feeling, so it’s important to choose a time that suits your needs.
Location, Location, Location
Werribee and the Western Suburbs of Melbourne offer a variety of stunning backdrops for your maternity shoot. From lush parks to the serene beaches nearby, there’s no shortage of breathtaking scenery to set the tone for your photos.
Wardrobe Choices
Wearing clothing that makes you feel beautiful and comfortable is essential. I offer a selection of flowing dresses, and of course you are welcome to bring your own outfit to suit your personality and style, anything from form-fitting garments that highlight your bump, or something casual and relaxed. I recommend soft, neutral colours, particularly if you are including your other family members as it is easier to coordinate outfits.
Incorporate Personal Touches
Feel free to bring along any meaningful props or items that help tell your story—such as baby shoes, ultrasound pictures, or sentimental jewellery. These personal touches will make your photos feel even more special and personal.
Maternity and Newborn Photography Go Hand-in-Hand
Many families choose to book both maternity and newborn sessions to capture the entire journey from pregnancy to the early days of parenthood. As a newborn and family photographer I understand the importance of consistency in style and storytelling.
By booking both maternity and newborn sessions, you ensure that your photography style remains cohesive, with similar lighting, tones, and moods that will flow beautifully from one phase to the next and look stunning in a combined album. Whether it’s incorporating family moments in your maternity shoot or planning the perfect newborn session with your little one, the continuity creates a gorgeous visual narrative.
