Hey lovely,
I’m Shantel
your maternity photographer here in the
Scenic Rim & Gold Coast,
and I’m passionate about capturing the beauty, strength, and joy that comes with pregnancy.
Whether it’s your first baby or your third, this moment in your life deserves to be preserved with care and intention. 💛
Maternity photography is not just about documenting your bump—
it’s about capturing the deep connection between you and your baby and the excitement of what’s to come.
Every session with me is relaxed, enjoyable, and designed to make you feel beautiful. I’m here to make sure you’re comfortable, celebrated, and confident every step of the way.
Your Maternity Experience
From the moment you book your session, I’ll guide you through every detail to make sure we capture exactly what you envision. We’ll start with a pre-session consultation where we’ll discuss everything—from location ideas to wardrobe choices that reflect your personal style. Whether you want a beachy, Sunrise shoot on the Gold Coast, A Country Golden Hour Session in the Scenic Rim or an intimate session at home, we’ll create something beautiful together. 🌿
I capture both candid moments and gorgeous posed shots—whether it’s a serene moment of reflection, laughter with your partner, or a tender hand on your growing belly. The goal? To celebrate YOU and your unique journey to motherhood. After the session, I’ll carefully edit each image, enhancing the natural beauty of every photo.
