Capture your beautiful pregnancy journey with the 5 best maternity photographe in Melbourne
Pregnancy might be the first step to parenthood, but believe me when I tell you that it’s the stage that you’ll look back on the most. It’s such an empowering experience for a woman that deserves to be celebrated and remembered.
It’s just too special to let slip by.
These maternity photographers in Melbourne will make sure that you’ll have beautiful keepsakes to revisit when that bump is gone.
How much do maternity shoots cost in Melbourne?
A maternity shoot in Melbourne typically costs between $250 and $1,500 per session, depending on the photographer’s experience and the details of the package.
1. Tiffany’s Photography
Address: Endeavour Hills VIC
Business hours: Monday to Saturday, 10 AM–9 PM
Tiffany is a professional photographer with a love for capturing beautiful moments between families. Her maternity shoots are either in her studio or in outdoor locations, depending on the client’s preferred location.
The ideal time she recommends for maternity shoots is around 32 weeks into pregnancy, as that’s the time when the bump is usually nicely rounded and it’s still comfortable enough for the mum to pose and move around.
With that said, clients will need to plan accordingly and book—preferably months ahead. Last-minute preparations can be risky because Tiffany is popular and tends to get fully booked.
Tiffany doesn’t just snap photos—she offers a lot more than that. She supplies the gowns for mums, gives posing guidance, and keeps the session relaxed and comfortable for the mum.
Timing is everything for her. For outdoor shoots, she typically schedules them about an hour before sunset to achieve that soft and glowing shot.
Tiffany’s services aren’t the cheapest, but she’s considerate when it comes to payment. She offers flexible payment plans, and there’s no mandatory minimum spend.
Thank you for capturing us
“Had my maternity shoot with Tiffany and can not recommend enough. She was able to accommodate my days and totally understood the vibe I wanted. She made me feel comfortable on the day and gave really good instructions on how to pose. My husband and I had a really fun day shooting with Tiffany.”

Looking forward to next time
“My partner and I were lucky enough to work with Tiffany for both our maternity and newborn photoshoots. The price was reasonable for the brilliant quality and expert creativity. We would recommend Tiffany to anyone who wants elegant and candid photos to mark a special occasion. We are already looking forward to baby number two so we can do it all over again!”

2. Bump to Baby Photography
Address: 6 Heathfield Ct, Croydon VIC
Phone: +61433699014
Business hours:
- Monday to Friday 9 AM–5 PM
- Saturday and Sunday, 9 AM–5:30 PM
Bump to Baby Photography was founded by Kiran, who has always had a love for photography. Her photography services are purely studio-based, which is ideal for mums who prefer to be more comfortable.
One thing about Kiran is that she truly cares about your needs and will take time to work with her clients to get the perfect shot.
So, you don’t have to worry about outfits because the studio has a wardrobe with various gowns and dresses to use for the shoot. She aims for the expectant mothers to still feel gorgeous without stressing and overworking themselves during the shoot.
For this session, the partner and older siblings are also encouraged to join in for a few shots!
And if you want to do a photoshoot when the baby is finally born later on, you can have that arranged with her to seamlessly capture both the pregnancy phase and the newborn phase.
Great
“We did our Maternity and Newborn photoshoot with Kiran. She was very friendly, professional and amazing at guiding us with the right shots. Nothing was rushed and we knew our baby was in safe hands. The photos were lovely and we will cherish them forever.”

Amazing
“A truly amazing experience with Kiran who was very professional and understanding of our needs. Highly recommended! Kiran has a great collection of gowns and my wife thoroughly enjoyed her maternity photoshoot. Never felt rushed and Kiran made sure she took her time with each outfit and made a lot of effort planning the session. Photos arrived a lot earlier than expected and the quality of her work is second to none. Thanks heaps, Kiran, for giving us memories that will last a lifetime.”

3. Danielle Nigido Photography
Address: 123 Caroline Springs Blvd, Caroline Springs
Business hours: Tuesday to Friday, 10 AM–5:30 PM,
Danielle Nigido is a mom who loves capturing special moments of her kids, which sparked her love for photography. She specializes in maternity and newborn photography, making sure that every step is stress-free for the mum and the baby.
For maternity shoots, she offers three kinds of packages starting from $450.
Danielle has a studio wardrobe with all kinds of gowns and drapes for the shoot. But clients are welcome to bring their own clothing, especially when it has a sentimental or religious significance.
The studio also offers a hair and makeup service as an add-on to the initial package—it’s completely optional.
From what I saw, Danielle’s style tends to lean toward simplicity and warmth; no distracting props, and focusing more on the raw and gentle emotions. However, she also tries to be flexible if ever the client wants a more elaborate setup.
Danielle’s services are also well-recognized in Melbourne, so her availability is tight. Booking months in advance is highly encouraged to secure a spot.
Big thanks
“Danielle is the best in town when it comes to newborn and family photography. I was waiting to get my son’s photoshoot done by her since I knew I was pregnant. She did a very good job and was perfect in every way. She has captured even the small details and I will cherish each and every picture forever. She was really very, very patient and handled my newborn, who gave her a tough time, but yet managed to get a whole set of amazing albums. If you are planning to book her, please don’t have any second thoughts, go for it, and you will not regret it.”

Amazing
“I received my gallery back from Dani for my Maternity shoot as well as my daughter’s newborn photoshoot, all I can say right now is WOW! Firstly, my maternity photos have brought me tears from just how beautiful they are. Dani not only made me feel confident during the shoot, but now 2 months postpartum. My daughter’s newborn photos are everything that I can ever imagine and she also captured family photos that bring me so much happiness. Dani has done a beautiful job with capturing my pregnancy, newborn and family photos, and I will forever be grateful to have had the opportunity.”

“We had such a wonderful experience with Paula for both our pregnancy and newborn photo sessions. Paula made the entire process so easy and relaxed. She was incredibly gentle, kind, and patient with our baby, and made me feel completely comfortable in front of the camera.
The photos turned out absolutely beautifully. We’re so happy with them and especially love the album we purchased—it’s of incredible quality and will be such a special keepsake to look back on as our son grows. We’re so grateful to Paula for capturing these precious moments of our firstborn in such a meaningful and timeless way.”

We had the most wonderful experience with Paula!
“From the very beginning, she made us feel comfortable and at ease. During the maternity session, she guided us gently with poses that felt natural while also leaving room for genuine, candid moments. For the newborn shoot, she was incredibly patient, calm, and gentle with our baby. She clearly has a natural way with little ones, and her attention to detail was amazing. The whole process was stress-free, and we never felt rushed. The final photos were beautifully edited and full of emotion. We’ll treasure them forever, and we’re so grateful to have them to look back on.”
