Underwater maternity photography sessions in Sydney for women who feel most like themselves in the ocean.
Photographed using natural light and shaped by the conditions of the sea that day, these sessions are calm, immersive, and intentionally unposed.
THE FEELING
There’s something different about being in the ocean while growing life.
Salt on the skin. Sunlight moving through the water. The quiet that only exists beneath the surface.
THIS ISN’T A STUDIO SESSION.
We work in open water, guided by tides, weather, light, and how you feel that day.
Sessions are photographed slowly, with plenty of breaks, and always adapted to ocean conditions and your comfort in the water.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Before
You will receive preparation guidance including wardrobe suggestions, ocean conditions, and what to bring to your underwater maternity shoot.
During
Sessions are photographed slowly in calm ocean conditions using natural light. We work around comfort, movement and the rhythm of the water.
After
You’ll receive a carefully edited gallery to review and make your selections.
SAFETY
Your safety and comfort always come first.
We only shoot in calm, suitable conditions and choose locations in Sydney with easy entry points (these shoots are usually held in Cabbage Tree Bay).
If conditions aren’t right, we reschedule. Always.
INVESTMENT
Each session includes personalised preparation guidance, a carefully edited online gallery, and imagery created intentionally around light, movement, and connection.
Sessions are limited each month to work around the best ocean conditions available.

Frequently asked questions
When is the best time for an underwater maternity shoot?
Most sessions are photographed between 28–34 weeks when movement in the water still feels comfortable while the pregnancy is visibly showing.
Do I need a certain level of swimming ability?
Yes — I do ask that clients feel comfortable and confident in the water. Sessions are guided slowly and adapted to your comfort level, but feeling relaxed in the ocean is an important part of the experience.
Where are sessions held?
Most underwater maternity photography sessions are photographed around Manly, depending on ocean conditions and visibility.
What should I wear?
Flowing fabrics, fitted swimwear, and neutral tones tend to photograph beautifully underwater. Preparation guidance is provided before your session.
What happens if the ocean conditions are unsafe?
Sessions are always scheduled around ocean safety and may be rescheduled if conditions are not suitable.
