After my own maternity leave finished (and COVID lockdown has finally ended), I was so happy to be out of the house to photograph this beautiful couple. And it was a very special couple as they were pregnant! Pregnancy is one of the most magical and fleeting times in a woman’s life. Whether it feels like a dream or a challenge, one thing is certain—it’s a time worth celebrating and remembering, because you are growing a new human being inside you.

I have two babies and I still consider it to be the greatest miracle on Earth. Mind blowing experience. Totally. To the point, where sometimes I wish both of them could be tucked inside again so I can enjoy a no argument, calm and peaceful day :) But, let's go back to the photographs and our wonderful couple.
Mrs K had a very clear requirement of how she wanted to have her family maternity pictures done: Sydney iconic; without it being at the beach or park. Having lived in Thailand for seven years, she and her husband wanted something that screamed "Sydney"—a setting that would instantly be recognisable to their family overseas. No beaches. No parks. Instead, we chose a location that perfectly captured the heart and soul of their Australian chapter: the Opera House, Harbour Bridge, and the stunning city skyline.
Why Choose Sydney’s Iconic Landmarks for Your Maternity Photos?
Sydney is blessed with breathtaking views, but there’s something undeniably special about including the Opera House and Harbour Bridge in your maternity session. These landmarks are more than just stunning backdrops—they represent history, culture, and the vibrant energy of this incredible city. And let’s be honest, does it get more "Sydney" than standing with your growing bump, gazing out at the sparkling harbour while the sun sets behind the bridge?
Here’s why this location is perfect for Family Maternity Photography:
🌟 Instantly Recognisable & Timeless – Whether you’re sending the photos to family abroad or printing them for your home, these views are unmistakably Sydney.
🌟 A Celebration of Your Chapter – If Sydney holds a special place in your heart, what better way to mark this milestone than by capturing your pregnancy here?
🌟 Versatile & Stunning Backdrops – From the grandeur of the Harbour Bridge to the charm of Lavender Bay’s leafy surroundings, every step of this walk is a photographer’s dream.
🌟 Perfect for Couples Who Love the City – If you’re not drawn to beach maternity shoots and want something unique, Sydney’s harbourside locations offer elegance, sophistication, and breathtaking scenery.
A Dreamy Maternity Photography Session in Kirribilli & Lavender Bay
Mrs. K and Mr. K were prepared, excited, and ready to embrace the experience. With a little inspiration from Pinterest (who isn’t guilty of scrolling through endless dreamy maternity shots?), we planned a relaxed yet stylish session that perfectly reflected their personalities.
We started in Kirribilli, where the views of the Opera House and Sydney Harbour framed their love and excitement for the journey ahead. Mr. K nailed his poses in 15 minutes (as most partners prefer a quick and easy experience!), then stepped aside to let the ladies create more magic.
From there, we strolled to Lavender Bay, where the greenery softened the cityscape, adding a beautiful natural touch to their maternity photos. It was a warm, sunny afternoon filled with laughter, connection, and the kind of effortless moments that make for the most cherished photographs.
Initially, the couple thought they’d only want 5-10 images to share with family. But after seeing their final gallery, they were thrilled to have so many incredible moments captured—and let’s just say, they were very happy they had the option to order more!
