MATERNITY PHOTOS

Pregnancy is wild. Beautiful. Exhausting. Transformative. You’re carrying an entire tiny human inside you — and even though you’re sore, swollen, and counting down the weeks, you know you’ll miss this feeling one day.

You want to remember your body exactly as it is right now — powerful, womanly, glowing (even if you don’t feel it every day). You want to show your baby their first home.

This is your chance to slow down and celebrate your body

Your
body,
your
way

I capture your pregnancy in a way that feels right for you. You don’t have to be a model, or know how to pose. You just need to show up — and trust me to capture your body and your bump in a way that feels artful and natural.

We can shoot underwater in a pool or the ocean, or on land at the beach or at your home. I’ll guide you through the whole experience — from choosing what to wear, how to prepare, and what to expect, to helping you feel completely at ease on the day.

The goal isn’t perfection — it’s about documenting your pregnancy in a way that feels relaxed and real.

The experience.

Here’s how it all flows:

1. Before your shoot: I’ll send you a simple guide with everything you need — from outfit inspo and prep tips to what to bring and how to get the most out of your session.

2. Shoot day: You’ll move, laugh, float, and relax while I guide you. Whether you’re in the water or on land, the session is designed to be calm, fun, and comfortable.

3. Afterwards: Within 3 weeks, your online gallery will be ready to view and download. Every maternity session includes a beautiful OnStone print, delivered to your door — because your memories deserve to live on your walls, not in a digital cloud.

Every maternity and newborn photoshoot with Salty Snaps includes a beautiful OnStone print, delivered straight to your door.

I’m passionate about ensuring the memories we create don’t just live in a digital cloud, forgotten over time, but instead become tangible treasures that sit proudly in your home—cherished for generations.

    Lilly, I'm in love!!!! I'm so happy, I'm still going through them but there are so many I just stop and stare at in total awe of my body and all that you captured. Thank you so much for getting these special moments for me, I couldn't love them more if I tried

  • Maddy

    Thanks for your patience with her and for being so sweet and beautiful with her. She wanted to cuddle you more than me! You are amazing and so grateful I was able to capture this moment with you. Thank you so much

  • Melissa

    My partner and I had the most beautiful maternity photo session with Lilly at sunrise on a beautiful beach, and it was such a special experience. From the moment we met, she was warm, welcoming, and made us feel completely at ease. Lilly has such a natural eye and clearly loves what she does. She took her time to make sure we felt comfortable and that each shot truly captured the emotion and connection of the moment. We got a lot of variety in our pictures, from underwater to a skatepark! I’m so grateful to have these memories captured so beautifully. If you’re looking for someone who brings care, creativity, and heart into every frame, Lilly is it.

Let’s be honest — pregnancy doesn’t last forever, even though it sometimes feels like it. You might never be pregnant again. Between 30 and 35 weeks is the sweet spot for underwater maternity photos — when your bump is full, your glow is strong, and you still have the energy to move freely.

I only do one underwater maternity shoot day per month, so spaces are extremely limited. If this speaks to you, reach out soon — I’d love to create something unforgettable with you.

Your questions, answered. *

  • If you’re not a confident swimmer, these sessions aren’t the right fit for you — your comfort and safety always come first. But don’t worry, I’ve got you covered! I also offer dreamy on-land maternity sessions where we can create the same relaxed, glowing images (just without the splash).

  • ​That's literally what I'm here for! I'll guide you the whole way, show you reference images and even demonstrate poses in the water if needed. Most people feel awkward at first - and then completely relax into it once we get going. Don't worry - I'm the first to feel uncomfortable in front of a lens, so I totally get it. I'll ensure you feel your best!

  • Most shoots in a pool will still go ahead unless it is really bad weather (heavy rain  / thunderstorms). Ocean shoots will be dependant on the clarity of the water. I will monitor the conditions in the lead up to the shoot and keep you updated.

  • Yes! There’s nothing sweeter than bumps and babes together. You're absolutely welcome to include your partner or family in the photos, or bring a friend along for moral support! If you're bringing a young child, please make sure another adult comes along to help care for them - especially during the moments when we're just focusing on you. This way, you can relax and enjoy the experience, knowing your little one is safe and looked after. 

  • Absolutely. Double the magic, double the fun. We will still allow the same time per person so that we capture all the good stuff! You will each be charged individually, but we can accommodate you on the same day and even get a few shots together.

  • Sure do! We can split payments however suits you.

    You can pay via card or bank transfer — your choice.

  • I’ll provide plenty of guidance on what to wear after you book. Floaty fabrics, dreamy textures, simple swimsuits or nude — I’ll help guide you.

  • The sweet spot is 30–35 weeks — you’ll have a beautiful bump, but still feel comfortable enough to move.  But every pregnancy is different, and I’ve photographed mums both earlier and later than that. If you’re feeling good and want to celebrate your bump, we’ll make it work whenever the timing feels right for you.

  • The poses will really depend on what you're comfortable with and how confident you feel underwater. I understand from experience that it is super challenging to hold your breath and strike a pose while pregnant, so we'll take it at your pace and see how you're feeling on the day.

  • That's totally normal and so fine! You don't need to be able to hold your breath for long at all! You'd be surprised what we can get in just a few seconds underwater. If you're not comfortable going under at all we can work with floaty surface-level poses too and still get such gorgeous shots!

Here for the whole journey

from bump to babe
