Underwater Maternity Photography
Are you adventurous person?
Do you love the freedom, weightlessness and beauty of the water? How about having some fun in the process?
Underwater maternity photography gives us the opportunity to create unique and stunning images of your baby bump.
Unfortunately the fish are wild and cannot be guaranteed to show up on the day.
Underwater Maternity Photoshoots Are Unique To You
One thing is for sure, each and every underwater maternity photoshoot is completely unique. With so many natural elements involved, it’s a wonderful chance to create something special just for you.
Underwater photoshoots can be held in the ocean, or a pool. We will chat about what will work best to create your own photoshoot.
Photoshoots include access to the complimentary Scribbly Gum Photography client wardrobe that adds to the ethereal vibe.
Scribbly Gum Photography is based in Wollongong, NSW. Travel is welcome!
I absolutely loved my underwater maternity photo shoot. I was a little nervous thinking i might look silly in the photos but they are the opposite, they are stunning and the water and light just adds such beautiful detail to the photos.

“Having an underwater maternity photoshoot was Rachel’s idea, and let me tell you, every pregnant woman should have this experience!! I was blown away by her creativity and it was honestly the most fun I’ve had in ages. She captured my son’s first birthday, this pregnancy, and now I can’t wait for her to do our newborn photos in a couple of weeks. We have truly found the perfect person to capture our family milestones.
At 37 weeks pregnant, the water made me feel wonderfully weightless, and I felt like a kid again. Rachel made me feel comfortable in front of the camera, was patient with my limited lung capacity and let me go at my own pace.
I was right to trust her judgement and vision. The photos speak for themselves – they’re spectacular! She somehow managed to make me look graceful, ethereal and serenely beautiful. They capture my bump and curved so perfectly, I actually started crying halfway through the viewing because I love them so much. And the experience itself – she is such a pleasure to work with.
If you’re pregnant, do yourself a favour. Book an underwater maternity photoshoot with Rachel.”
