You’re growing a tiny miracle and these months go by so much faster than they feel. Maternity photos aren’t just about your bump — they’re about remembering this chapter of life in all its beauty, strength, and anticipation. But when is the best time to book a maternity photoshoot in Perth? In this post, I’ll walk you through the ideal timing, location tips, and how to make sure you feel empowered and beautiful in front of the camera.

When to Book Your Maternity photoshoot in Perth?

Most photographers (myself included) recommend booking your maternity session between 28–34 weeks. By then, your bump is beautifully round, and you’re still likely to feel comfortable moving and posing.

If you’re expecting twins or have a higher-risk pregnancy, we may schedule earlier.

Why Timing Matters

• Comfort: You want to feel good — physically and emotionally.

• Bump Visibility: Earlier than 28 weeks, your bump might not be as prominent.

• Avoiding Last-Minute Rush: Popular maternity photographers in Perth often book out months in advance, especially in golden-hour seasons like spring and autumn.

Studio or Outdoor? Choosing Your Perth Location

• Outdoor sessions: Think rolling hills in Jarrahdale, golden fields in Serpentine, or peaceful bushland at sunset.

• Studio sessions: My Jarrahdale studio offers soft natural light, curated gowns, and a warm, private space if you prefer indoors.

Can’t choose? Why not do both- My Jarrahdale studio is surrounded by rolling hills, Jarrah forests and waterfalls!

What to Wear for Your Maternity Shoot?

Choosing what to wear for your maternity session can feel overwhelming, but I’m here to make it effortless and beautiful. When you book your session, you’ll receive access to my carefully curated client wardrobe look book, filled with hand-selected pieces that photograph beautifully and feel incredible to wear. From flowing dresses in soft neutrals to romantic gowns in earthy tones, the collection is designed to flatter every stage of pregnancy and suit a variety of body types (sizes XS–XL). Neutrals and textured, flowy fabrics are timeless favourites — they allow your connection and emotions to take center stage. But if you’re dreaming of something more creative, I have you covered too — with sheer drapes, delicate layers, and ethereal styling pieces that bring a soft editorial edge to your photos.

Partners and children are always welcome, and I’ll guide you through styling your whole family so you look effortlessly cohesive while keeping the focus on connection and emotion.

When Should You Book Me?

Ideally, reach out to book your session as early as your second trimester — around 15–20 weeks. This ensures we can:

• Lock in your ideal date

• Style your session fully

• Have time to chat through any questions or preferences
