frequently asked
QUESTIONS
when is the best time to have maternity photos?
The best time for maternity photos is usually between 28-34 weeks of pregnancy. At this stage, your bump is beautifully defined while you’re hopefully still comfortable enough to enjoy your session.
Every pregnancy is different though and maternity sessions can take place earlier or later depending on how you’re feeling and the type of session you would like.
where are the best places for maternity photos in cairns?
Cairns has beautiful options for maternity photography, from beaches and tropical greenery to rainforest and creek locations. The best location really depends on how you’d like your photographs to feel.
You also don’t need to go anywhere at all. At home or studio maternity sessions can be beautifully simple and intimate, particularly during Cairns’ hot and humid wet season. I’ll help you choose a setting that suits you, your family and the photographs your drawn to.
Can I have maternity photos indoors?
Absolutely. In-home or studio maternity photography is a beautiful option if you want your session to feel relaxed, Intimate and unhurried.
Indoor sessions, whether in my studio or in your home are also a wonderful option for maternity photography during the Cairns wet season.
what should I wear for maternity photos?
Choose something that makes you feel comfortable and like yourself. You don’t have to wear a traditional maternity gown unless that’s what you love. A beautiful dress, simple separates, an oversized white shirt or even relaxed jeans can photograph beautifully.
I have a client wardrobe available for maternity sessions and I can also help you coordinate clothing for your partner and children so everything works together without feeling overly matched.
Should my partner and children be included in my maternity photos?
Yes. If you’d like them to be. Maternity photography doesn’t have to be only about photographs of your bump. It can also document what your family feels like just before everything changes again.
Partners, older children and siblings-to-be are very welcome. We’ll create some beautiful portraits of you on your own as well as relaxed photographs of your family together, with plenty of connection rather than expecting young children to pose perfectly.
What if I feel awkward in front of the camera?
You don’t need to know how to pose or what to do with your hands. I’ll gently guide you throughout your maternity session so you never feel as though you’re simply standing in front of the camera wondering what to do next.
My approach is relaxed and connection focused. I’ll give you enough direction to create flattering, timeless portraits while also leaving space for natural interaction between you, your partner and your children.
Can you do maternity photos during the Cairns wet season?
Yes. The Cairns wet season can actually be a wonderful time for maternity photography. We simply choose a session that works with the weather rather than fighting against it.
Studio or in-home maternity sessions are perfect for hot, humid or rainy days we get so often here in Cairns and Port Douglas.
