What To Expect:
Your underwater maternity shoot will be an unforgettable experience! We’ll start with a friendly consultation call to chat about your vision and make sure everything is customized just for you. On the day of your shoot, I’ll be there to guide you through each step, from breathing techniques to gentle poses, so you feel comfortable and confident in the water. My goal is to capture beautiful, unique images that celebrate this incredible moment in your life.
After the shoot, we’ll meet for your reveal session where you’ll have a $1,000 credit to choose from my a-la-carte menu of digital images and prints. This gives you the flexibility to select exactly what you want to cherish forever.

Absolutely amazed by Angelina’s talent as an underwater photographer. I had my maternity shoot at 33 weeks and I’ve felt super comfortable and safe in the water and not rushed. She took her time and made sure I was relaxed. I just received the pictures and they are incredible. A lot of my friends have mentioned that they’ve never seen maternity photos like this before and I love looking at them so much! This is something I will treasure forever and I highly recommend you booking in an underwater maternity shoot with Angelina!
Angelina was super patient with my inability to stay underwater for long haha it was actually a really fun experience and I’m glad I have some lovely images to capture my pregnant belly.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Are Your Prices?
My underwater maternity sessions are $1,500, which includes the photoshoot, a design consultation, and a reveal session where you’ll receive a $1,000 credit to choose from my a-la-carte menu of digital images and prints. Any amount spent beyond your $1,000 credit will simply be invoiced afterward. The booking fee is $300, which goes toward the session cost. We offer easy payment plans to make things more flexible.
* Please note, images will only be released once full payment has been received.
Where Are You Located?
I am based in Cairns, Queensland (Australia). The pool that I use for my underwater photoshoots is Herb’s Training & Swim School in Parramatta Park. The pool is private with access to a shower & toilets.
Do I Need To Be A Strong Swimmer?
As long as you are not terrified of the water you will be fine! The pool has a shallow and deep end. The shallow end is 1.3m deep and the dive pit is 3.5m deep. We will take the pool session slow to get you comfortable.
Children must be comfortable in the water and be supervised by a parent at all times.
How Long Do I Need To Hold My Breath?
As long as you can. Only a few seconds at a time is necessary to get a beautiful photo.
Together, we will practice breathing techniques at a pace that suits you. The aim is to make you feel calm and at ease. This will help produce natural-looking and effortless portraits.
What Should I Wear?
Bright colors and flowy fabrics look amazing underwater! For pregnancy shoots any outfit that highlights your baby bump will work. I have a selection of dresses, skirts, and fabrics available for you to wear, but you’re also welcome to bring your own outfits if you prefer.
I am partnered with Mama Rentals and can offer you a 10% discount for all women’s gown hire. View their collection of gowns here!
Once you have booked your shoot, I will send you your unique code to receive 10% off your gown from Mama Rentals.
I also shoot nudes, implied nudes, and boudoirs if that is what you desire.
Which Days Are Your Photo Shoots?
At the moment, photoshoots are available on Friday and Saturday mornings. We will start the shoot at 7 am to get the best light. I want your photos to be as beautiful as they can be. If we go early in the morning, we can get those dreamy ethereal shots.
How Long Are The Photo Shoots?
Your underwater photo shoot will be fun and relaxed. I don’t put a time limit on how long your session goes. Most sessions tend to last around 2 hours, there’s no pressure to finish within a specific time frame. We’ll take as much time as you need for posing tips, breathing techniques, and capturing beautiful photos at your own pace. For maternity sessions, 2.5 hours is usually the perfect amount of time to ensure you feel comfortable without getting too tired.
Can My Partner Or Children Join The Shoot?
Absolutely! We encourage family participation!
When Should I Have My Pregnancy Photoshoot?
For the optimal portrayal in your maternity photoshoot, we recommend scheduling it between 28 to 36 weeks of pregnancy.
Is The Pool Heated?
Yes the pool is heated!
How Do I Book?
Send me an email and I will set up a time for us to chat over phone or Zoom. This gives us a chance to get to know each other and for me to talk you through the process. If you are happy with everything then we will choose a date and start planning your underwater photoshoot!
When And How Do I Pay?
To secure your booking, a $300 deposit is required. You’ll receive a booking link where you can pay via credit/debit card or bank transfer. The remaining $1,200 can be paid in full or through a flexible payment plan. Please note that images and products will only be delivered once full payment has been received.
If you decide to purchase additional images or products beyond the $1,500 session fee, payment can be made after your reveal session via cash, credit/debit card, or bank transfer, with payment plans available for added flexibility.
Do You Edit The Images?
Yes, as a professional photographer most of my work is in front of a computer. I edit every single image for basic brightening, color and minor tweaks before your reveal and ordering session. Once you select your artwork images, I further edit the selected images to prepare them for you. I spend hours transforming your images into works of art.
What Products Do You Offer?
I love wall art and offer museum-grade canvas, metal, and acrylic prints. You also have a choice of an album, a folio box, and matted and framed prints. I offer a wide range of product sizes to suit every need. I can also custom order additional sizes and products at your request.
How Long Will My Private Gallery Be Online?
Your private online gallery will be available for 12 months if you would like to order more images. I will send a reminder just before it expires. After 12 months, your photos will be deleted to make room for future photo shoots.
Are You Insured?
Absolutely! I am fully insured for public liability and equipment insurance.
