Beach Baby {Bribie Maternity Session}

I was just doing up some prints for this family when I realised I hadn’t blogged their maternity session! Posting these photos tonight while I’m rugged up in my doona, it’s hard to believe how terribly hot and muggy it was on this day and this family were absolute rock stars!

I first met Matt and Roanne a few years ago when their little girl was a beautiful baby bump.  Then last year I was so blessed to be invited to photograph their stunning wedding and now here they are about to welcome another little person into the world!

Waiting on Baby {Petrie Maternity Photographer}

It’s hard to believe that only a few years ago I was asking people to volunteer to be my guinea pigs as I prepared a portfolio to move into the professional photography circle.  This lovely couple were one of those volunteers when they were pregnant with this hansom young who is about to become a big brother!  I hope you enjoy your photos and congratulations on your baby girl!

Rachel and Andrew {Shorncliffe Maternity Photographer}

The rain clouds were hanging low over Shorncliffe when I got to meet this beautiful little family.  I honestly didn’t know if the rain would hold off for us but we were on a tight timeline with mumma at 38 weeks.

In the end the rain held off for us and we were able to capture some very special images for this gorgeous family before they welcomed their baby girl into the world.

Awaiting a beautiful little girl

This mumma-to-be responded to my request for volunteers for lifestyle maternity shoots.  But there was a little secret we need to keep.  You see mum new the sex of the baby but dad did not,  This nursery was lovingly prepared in secret and we have been waiting on the birth announcement to share this little album with you.

Just look at this gorgeous and determined lady on her due date adding the finishing touches

Adding the finishing touches

This little family are now cuddling their little girl so here is your full gallery.  Thank you so much for welcoming me into your home to document this important time.  I hope you enjoy these pictures now that your little girl is earthside.
