Kieron Place Maternity & Newborn Photographer Mackay

Maternity and newborn photography are growing in popularity. And why not? It is the perfect way to tell the story of a tremendous change in a couple’s life.

I understand that sometimes an expectant mother may not want to have a maternity shoot. However, I promise you won’t regret it. At the very least, your small child will enjoy looking back on the photos and seeing the love you and your partner shared for them before they were born.

When I do a maternity shoot, I let the parents guide the session. I want the couple to be at ease, so you choose the location and decide what you want to wear and who is involved. If you don’t want the long flowing gowns, it’s okay by me. If you want just simple: that’s fine. If you want the family pet involved: great!

I follow a similar philosophy with the newborn shoot, in that the parents can dictate the shoot’s theme with a bit of guidance from me. In our home studio, my wife, Jenny assists me with organising props and wrapping and posing bub for the shoot. I think of the shoot as a chance for mum to relax. You will be asked to pose for a few photos, but otherwise, you can put your feet up with a cuppa while we do the work.

If you have any sentimental heirlooms or mementos which you want to be included in either shoot, please let me know, and we will happily incorporate them.
