A maternity photography session at the beach


The wilder the weather for an outdoor Golden Hour photography session in nature, the better, I think! Elise was more than willing to embrace the weather as well as her beautiful body in bloom and it made for the most magical session.


We captured Elise's blossoming belly in a range of solo shots, and also included proud fiance Artnay and big sister Ayvie in the moment as well.


Prior to this session we held a pregnancy announcement session together at my Geelong countryside location and following this, a newborn session in The Studio. It was such a privilege to capture this family's whole journey from pregnancy and beyond.


This session was held at one of my favourite Surf Coast Victoria locations which provides two different settings and a variety of backdrops all at the one place, providing for a great variety of images.


Elise wears two outfits from my client wardrobe.
