There are so many beautiful beaches in Sydney and one of my favourites beaches is Coogee Beach in the eastern suburbs of Sydney. It's a lovely feel in Coogee and it's one of the best places in Sydney for sunrise.

And what's even better is there are lots of wonderful spots for family photography sessions with a beach flavour. I mean who doesn't love beautiful portraits by the beach. It's so lovely to capture the magic of pregnant women and to capture the incredible journey of motherhood against one of the most beautiful beaches in Sydney.

The Magic of Coogee Beach

Coogee beach, with its golden sand is the perfect location for maternity photos. Coogee is a natural haven with a relaxed holiday feel. Lucky for us residents. And what a treat to be taking photos with the sound of the waves gently crashing against the shore, the salty breeze and the breathtaking views. It's a perfect location to capture the natural beauty of pregnancy.

Every time I have a shoot at Coogee, I'm reminded of why I love both photography and being by the ocean. The natural lighting, the vibrant colours, and the water create a magical atmosphere that complements the glow of expectant mothers. Whether it's a sunrise shoot with the first light casting a warm glow or a sunset session with the sky painted in hues of pink and orange, Coogee never disappoints.

Capturing the Glow of Motherhood

Maternity photography is all about celebrating the beauty of motherhood. It's about capturing the anticipation, the joy, and the love that parents-to-be feel as they prepare to welcome a new life into their world. At Coogee, these emotions are amplified by the stunning surroundings.

Building Connections

Being a maternity photographer is not just about taking beautiful photos; it's about building connections with my clients. I take the time to get to know each couple, understanding their story, their journey, and their vision for the shoot. This personal connection helps me create a comfortable and relaxed environment, allowing the true emotions to shine through in the photos.

At Coogee the relaxed and laid-back atmosphere makes it easy for everyone to feel at ease. We often start with a casual walk along the beach, chatting and laughing, which helps you relax and forget about the camera. This results in natural and authentic photos that truly reflect your personalities and emotions.

The Importance of Location

Location plays a crucial role in maternity photography, and Coogee offers a variety of stunning backdrops. From the iconic Coogee Sur Life Saving Club and the picturesque ocean pools, to the rugged cliffs and beautiful ocean, there's no shortage of beautiful spots to explore.

Each location offers something unique, allowing me to tailor for my clients. Some prefer the classic beach shots with the ocean in the background, while others love the idea of incorporating the natural rock formations and greenery. The versatility of Coogee Beach ensures that every session is unique and personalized.

Creating Lasting Memories

The ultimate goal of maternity photography is to create lasting memories. Pregnancy is a fleeting moment in time, and having beautiful photos to look back on is something that many parents treasure. Knowing I play a part in preserving these precious memories is incredibly fulfilling.
