Envision yourself suspended effortlessly in the water, unburdened by the strain of carrying a tiny human for months. Your body, the water, and the fabric blend together to produce a surreal image that will forever capture this life-changing moment. Every woman deserves to have her pregnancy captured in a creative and artistic way. Let me capture this beautiful time in your life, highlighting the beauty and grace of your pregnancy.

What To Expect:

Your underwater pregnancy shoot will be an exhilarating experience from start to finish. We’ll discuss your vision beforehand, and on the day of the shoot, we’ll take the time to get you comfortable in the water. We will guide you on posing to capture the best shots. Following the shoot, we’ll arrange a reveal session for you to select your cherished images and decide on your product choices. You’ll receive a collection of stunning images that tell the story of your love and anticipation for your new arrival.

Pricing starts at $300 for your pool session. This covers the photoshoot only; images are not included. You can choose your favorite images as digital or printed products at your reveal session at an additional cost starting at $200.

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!

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 couple of dresses you are more than welcome to wear. However I would recommend bringing your own outfits as well, something you love and will feel comfortable in.

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 pool session with me I will send you your unique code to recieve 15% off your gown from Mama Rentals.

I also shoot nudes, implied nudes and boudoir if that is what you desire.

Which Days Are Your Photo Shoots?

At the moment photoshoots are available on Fridays. Sometimes I can do photoshoots on Saturday morning by request.

How Long Are The Photo Shoots?

There is no rush or time limit for your photoshoot, it will last as long as needed. But typically we will be together for a few hours. I only schedule one photoshoot a day so that you get the attention you deserve. The underwater process may come quickly to you, or it may take some time. Regardless the goal is to make you feel comfortable no matter how long that takes to get you the photos you deserve.

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?

A retainer fee of $300 is due when you book. All products purchased can be paid for at the time of the reveal and ordering appointment. I gladly accept cash, credit cards or bank transfer.

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 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.

Do You Give DIgitals?

Yes, I offer several digital image packages to suit different budgets. Additionally, when you purchase printed products during your reveal session, I will include a high-resolution digital version of each printed image. Please note that digital artwork is not automatically included with any photography session.
