Newcastle Maternity Photography for Outdoorsy Parents

“Jess sneakily caught beautiful, in-between moments which took my breath away. The perfect keepsakes to show our kids in future years.”

Jessica Bourne

Maternity Photography in Newcastle

What a wonderful world

Congrats you guys, you’re having a baby! Whether it’s your first pregnancy or you’re welcoming another new little person into your family, I’d love to be the photographer in Newcastle you choose to capture your loved up moments. Now’s a time you’ll look back on for years to come… and one to share with your nearly-baked arrival, through photos too. #ohbaby

(Looking for pricing? Keep on scrolling, you’re in the right place!)

One tiny personality. One big change. One new adventure. Let’s celebrate!

Sneak peek you’ll be itching to see

Epic gallery big or small; your pick!

True to life
(and fun AF)

Maternity Photography across Newcastle, Hunter Valley and beyond

That glow. Your love. (C’mon guys, get a room! Just kidding, I love your love). Let’s capture these precious last moments before bub arrives anywhere across Newcastle, Hunter Valley, Lake Macquarie and Port Stevens.

Squeezing in one last getaway before your angel comes to spend their life with you? I’ll meet you there! I shoot right across Australia in locations like Sydney and right up to Byron Bay. I’ll meet you wherever you are!

Let's get the ball rolling!
Hey, I’m Jess!
Your Newcastle Maternity Photographer who loves your love as much as you two.

The thing about maternity photography in Newcastle is… Well, it’s bloody magical. Mum’s all glowy. Super excited partners (who kinda don’t know how to help more, in a cute way!). And it’s the last time you’ll sleep in a while so you’re lapping up these final days before your duo or small fam welcomes one more.

As a Newcastle local myself, I know a bunch of windswept locations. But you guys probably have your fave spots too! So let’s adventure out to one of those, explore the beach, bush or even hang out in your backyard!

Book my ‘shoot
Love is love

I capture maternity sessions for all families in Newcastle. See the look you guys give each other. Those little in-between parts when you think no one’s watching. The way you see them. And they see you. I’m not crying, you’re crying.

Outdoorsy or at home

We have some pretty special locales here in Newcastle. The rugged coastline, that photographs gloriously. Dense woodlands and trails. Maybe you have a secret spot you love to hang out at, or just really love your home. Wherever you’d like to shoot your Newcastle maternity session, I’m there!

Like old friends

You might’ve heard some questionable tales about friends’ maternity photoshoots. Think, commando crawling under barbed wire fences because ‘the light’s so good.’ Yeah, ours won’t be like that. More like hanging out with an old friend to capture your happy moments together and the way you are with each other.

This is one of my favourite family sessions from last year, with the lovely @carly_skinner_photography and her sweet fam. 
And yes, I have been sitting on this goldmine of super cute pics for nearly a year now, because it’s really hard to choose your favourites from over 300 photos 😅

When it comes to family sessions, I think it’s b When it comes to family sessions, I think it’s best to let the kids do their thing; to let the session be guided by them. This session was no different in that aspect. However, it was a new experience for me in that the sweet boy you see in the first image, Jacob, is autistic and non-verbal. 

We had plans to shoot in a different location than the one in these photos, however once we started, Jacob wasn’t keen on moving. And you know what? It didn’t matter.
He also wanted to carry a stimmy toy and a can of Pringles around the entire session, to help him feel more comfortable.
Did I care? Not one little bit! 🤷🏼‍♀️ I was happy to do whatever made Jacob and his family more comfortable and at ease. 

What matters to me is capturing your kids exactly how they are, in that moment. It’s these little details that make up their unique character and quirky personalities (which are constantly changing, especially in the early years!).
So if they need to bring along that old, battered teddy that they can’t bare to leave at home, let them bring it! Are they refusing to wear anything but that one dress (that you have to sneak into their room at night to grab so you can secretly wash it), because it’s the only piece of clothing they will wear? Let them wear it! 
They won’t always be carrying that teddy, and one day that dress will no longer fit them, so let these parts of them be documented as part of their story now, before they, and their story changes 🧡

Sure, a pretty location and outfits are nice, but what matters more, is happy kids and therefore, happy parents. The more relaxed the whole family feels, the better your photos will be ✨ 

Thanks Jess @aussieautismfamily for having me capture your beautiful family. It was so much fun hanging out with you guys, and just looking back over these photos (and both Jacob and Jazz’s infectious smiles!) gives me all the feels 🥰

Still working my way through posting from last yea Still working my way through posting from last year’s sessions… tonight I’m trying not to overthink it too much, and choosing to just post the first image that jumps out at me. So here’s one of Laura looking radiant, while growing little bubba Franco 🧡

Part 2 with the Carson fam ✨ Surely you can no Part 2 with the Carson fam ✨ 

Surely you can now see why this *had* to be a ‘squeeze in as many images as I possibly can’ two-part post?! 
Also, it was a struggle deciding which image to choose to be the first one, with some definitely deserving two whole squares, and sooo many favourites of Sunny 🐶😍 How does a gal decide?! 

Which one is your fave? 🥰
