Let’s celebrate your pregnancy and growing family with a maternity photoshoot!
Although it might feel like your pregnancy is going to last forever, trust me, it won’t!
A maternity photoshoot is the ideal way to remember the magic of being pregnant, and the anticipation you felt about welcoming your new little one into the world.
Whether it’s your first pregnancy or your fourth, together we can create something special which you’ll treasure.
Rachel is an amazing photographer, she captured both maternity & newborn shots for us. Rachel was just superb with our little man William, she settled him so well and he performed brilliantly with her help . We can’t thank Rachel enough and would happily recommend her to anyone.

Take advantage of indoor or outdoor photoshoots with our mobile studio
I can create indoor portraits in the comfort of your own home, or a stunning outdoor portrait in a setting of your choice. If you’re unsure about whether to choose an indoor or outdoor setting, we can discuss options and ideas at your first consultation, and I’ve got plenty of great locations to suggest if you’re stuck for inspiration.
Your maternity photoshoot is completely personalised. Whether you want to use this as time alone to contemplate the life growing inside of you, or to share it with your partner, pets or other children, I’ll happily accommodate your requests.
Below is a snapshot of a maternity photoshoot at the beach with a toddler. Gowns in this photoshoot are from the Scribbly Gum Photography client wardrobe.

Thank you Rachel for our beautiful album. We love it and are so grateful to have the beautiful memories of our little family forever to look back on. I highly recommend Rachel for a photoshoot! Both my maternity and newborn photos were just what I was looking for. I’m also amazed you were able to keep Frankie [our dog] still!

Rachel captured forever memories for us all and made every photoshoot enjoyable. I still can’t believe you were able to keep Maddie asleep for the whole 3 hours! Thank you!
What to Wear for a Maternity Photoshoot
It’s easily the most common question: What should I wear?
The What to Wear Ebook for Families was created for you and is the perfect place to start.
I have a selection of maternity dresses available for complimentary hire.
For further options, I recommend checking out Mama Rentals to hire a special gown for the day. Once you have booked your photoshoot, you will have access to our studio welcome page, with more information and tips on what to wear.
Frequently Asked Questions
I can’t decide whether I should book a maternity photoshoot or not!? What do you think?
I get it! One of my biggest regrets was not getting a maternity photoshoot with my first. It’s a moment that passes so quickly, if only we could rewind for a do-over! I wrote an article that might help you decide, read it here. Let’s chat about where you’re at, and what you’re thinking.
What’s the best location for a maternity photoshoot?
I have explored our beautiful coastline and know of so many stunning location options. I can help match the perfect location to you.
I’d love a nude photoshoot, can you do this?
Yep! Happy to celebrate in a way that is meaningful to you.
I’d like to keep my belly covered.
Absolutely! It’s totally up to you how much or how little skin you would like to show.
I’d love to include my toddler/ child but they don’t sit still. I’m worried we won’t get any good photos.
Mums love how I work to include your kids on the day, making it fun and easy for mum AND kids. The best part? They don’t even have to sit still. Cuddles, airplanes, running, jumping.. it’s all apart of a photoshoot.
“Rachel was wonderful from our very first phone call. She listened to my story of our long awaited family. She then worked with me to ensure I had my maternity photoshoot in a place that was special to me and she chose some great places in that special place.”
