Maternity information and pricing guide

Thank you for considering Moments to Memories to capture such a meaningful time in your life.
This guide is here to provide all the details you need about the different types of maternity sessions I offer, along with pricing information to help you make the choice that feels right for you. I know there are so many talented photographers out there, so it truly means the world that you’re considering Moments to Memories to document this special chapter.

Pregnancy is such an incredible journey. Our bodies are capable of amazing things, and growing new life is nothing short of miraculous. That said, I understand that not every momma to be feels her best juggling everyday life while growing a tiny human can be exhausting. But even if you're not feeling like yourself, I promise you’ll never regret taking a moment to celebrate and honour this time.

Maternity sessions are typically scheduled between 28 and 34 weeks. I recommend this window because it’s when most women still feel relatively comfortable and confident, with a beautifully round bump before the final weeks of pregnancy set in.

Deposit

To secure your session with Moments to Memories, a $150 deposit is required at the time of booking.
This deposit reserves your chosen date and time, ensuring it is held exclusively for you and unavailable to other clients.

Locations

When I launched Moments to Memories, I knew how important it would be to find the perfect locations to bring my maternity sessions to life, places where mums feel comfortable, confident, and relaxed while capturing moments that will soon become cherished memories.

Whether you're after something natural, serene, or a little bit magical, I offer a range of stunning locations to suit every style. Some of my favourite spots include, a classic sandy beach, a beach with dramatic rocky features or an open field with dreamy long grass.

Of course, if you have a special location in mind, I’m more than happy to travel and bring your vision to life. Your maternity session should reflect you, and I’ll do everything I can to make it feel just right.

Styling your session

I have a beautiful collection of dresses and throw overs available for you to use during your session, you're more than welcome to borrow anything from my client wardrobe. You're also welcome to bring your own outfits, as well as a matching bra and undies or swimmers if you'd like to include a few more intimate or styled shots.

Before your session, I can send through images of my client closet so you can select your favourites in advance, and you are more than welcome to come and try on before the session or I’ll bring them along on the day.

Planning for your maternity session

SCHEDULING

I typically book out 1 to 3 months in advance, so it’s highly recommended to secure your maternity session early in your pregnancy. Booking ahead guarantees your spot and ensures we can lock in a date that works best for you—especially during busy seasons.

PAYMENT

A $150.00 deposit is required at the time of booking to secure your session. The remaining balance of your chosen digital collection package is due 1 week before your session. You’ll receive one invoice for the total amount and every time a payment is made I will send you a receipt.

If you'd like to purchase any additional digital images after your session, these can be ordered and paid for at that time.

WHAT TO BRING

1. Bra and undies you may want to wear (nude or neutral is best for sheer dresses)
2. Any personal dresses or outfits you may want to wear
3. Towel incase you get wet at the beach sessions
4. Spare clothes incase you get wet at the beach session

WHAT TO WEAR

Wear something that makes you feel comfortable, confident, and like yourself. Flowy dresses, soft fabrics, and neutral or earthy tones photograph beautifully.

If your partner or children are joining the session, aim to coordinate outfits in complementary tones rather than matching exactly.
For siblings, choose outfits that align with mum and dad’s colours to keep the overall look cohesive.

Preparing for your maternity session

BEFORE YOUR SESSION

Sessions are held in the late afternoon, just before sunset the perfect time for capturing soft, golden light. We'll confirm the exact time closer to your session date, depending on the sunset time that day.

Before your shoot, I’ll be in touch to finalise your location choice and to see if you’d like to use any pieces from my client wardrobe. I’m here to help make sure everything feels easy, relaxed, and beautifully planned.

DURING YOUR SESSION

Once we arrive at your chosen location, we’ll jump straight into the session. I like to capture a mix of full length and close up images to give you a beautiful variety of shots.

We’ll usually start with family photos first, especially if you have little ones this helps keep them engaged before they get distracted. Once we’ve captured those moments, the kids can go and play with dad while I focus on photographing mum on her own, creating some stunning portraits that you’ll treasure for years to come.

AFTER YOUR SESSION

You’ll receive 1–2 edited sneak peek images from your session within 24 hours, either via social media or sent directly to you.

Within 1–2 weeks, you’ll receive access to your private online gallery where you can view and select your favourite images. This gallery is unedited and only visible to you (and any family members you choose to share it with). If you'd like to upgrade your collection or add extra images, this is the perfect time to do so.

Once you've made your selections, I’ll begin the editing process. Over the next two weeks, I’ll carefully retouch your images adjusting exposure, refining colours, and doing light skin retouching where needed to ensure each photo is polished and beautiful.

Your final gallery will be ready for digital download once editing is complete.
The full turnaround time is typically 2–4 weeks, depending on my current workload.
