Newborn and Family Photography in Melton

A maternity photography session is a chance to slow down and celebrate this little person you're waiting to meet, and the next chapter of your family's story. It's about capturing your pregnancy while also documenting the connection, excitement and love that already exists before they've even arrived.

I'm Samara, a maternity photographer based in Melton West, and I photograph mums, couples and growing families across Melton and Melbourne's western suburbs.

My approach is relaxed, natural and personal. You don't need to know how to pose, and you don't need to feel comfortable in front of the camera. I'll guide you throughout your session while making sure there's plenty of time to simply enjoy the experience and celebrate this special time in your life.

I have years of experience working with children and families, and my approach is relaxed and personal. Whether this is your first professional photography session or you've had photographs taken many times before, I'll guide you through the process.

My goal is to create photographs that feel like you — images that bring you back to this little moment in time whenever you look at them.

Planning Maternity and Newborn Photos?

If you're considering newborn photographs as well, maternity and newborn sessions are a beautiful way to document this special chapter for your family. Whether you're welcoming your first baby or adding another little person to your family, it's a beautiful way to capture this chapter.

Your maternity session captures the anticipation of meeting your baby, while your newborn session captures those first precious days once they're finally here.

Newborn sessions are ideally held between 5 and 21 days after birth, although I have photographed babies up to around six weeks old.
