Description

As one of Melbourne’s leading pregnancy photographers, Susan brings years of experience in creating timeless, beautiful maternity images. No matter how you’re feeling about your pregnancy journey, she will help you feel comfortable, celebrated and special for a few hours. Most clients leave saying how surprisingly fun and uplifting the session felt.
Her goal is to create images that feel like you — letting your personality, strength and maternal beauty shine through. She works closely with every client, discussing styling and preparation beforehand so your final gallery reflects the vision you had in mind.
Sessions can take place outdoors across Melbourne or in her Brighton studio, which is filled with beautiful natural light and a curated collection of gowns and fabrics for you to wear. The use of these pieces is included in your session.

Photographer Profile - Susan Bradfield

I am a Melbourne based photographer working in Brighton, bayside Melbourne with over ten years experience.

From start to finish, my photography sessions are not just a photo shoot, they are a special experience you will remember fondly forever.
I aim to create honest, timeless images that show connection, emotion and sou along with fantastic service.

As a mother of two, I understand the invaluable and important legacy of photographic memories and passionately believe in the importance of documenting our lives. My goal is to capture connection and emotion: of beautiful moments when loved ones are together.

Whether it is a newborn, maternity, family shoot, or a headshot, photography is my way of capturing a life’s story in a moment that will last for generations to come.

FAQs

I don't have anything to wear for a shoot. Can I use your gowns?

Yes absolutely!. I have a huge array of beautiful maternity outfits, as well as wraps and fabrics for your shoot which are all included in the cost. We will discuss prior to the session what look you are after for your shoot, and what you would like to wear,so I can plan the session in advance.

What should I bring to a maternity photo session with you?

I ask all my clients to purchase a cheap nude coloured strapless bra and knickers to allow for easy outfit changes. If clients would like nearly nude shots, nipple covers can be helpful as well. Clients are welcome to bring any of their own outfits they would like included. It is also a good idea to bring any drinks and snacks you may require as I always stop for little breaks so you can refresh.

Do you offer hair and makeup?

I work closely with a lovely hair and makeup artist who does amazing work and is fabulous with a 'natural' look. Clients are welcome to contact her separately to coordinate with the session time. You are of course also welcome to arrange your own hair and makeup or to do your own.

Can my partner and child come too?

Absolutely - I encourage it. These are special memories to be recorded. With children, I invite them to come at the start of the session, and then have a partner or carer take them for the remainder of the session so they are not bored and we can focus on you. Of course partners are welcome to stay for the entirety.

I am not sure if I would like my session indoors or outdoors. How do I choose?

Take a look at a lot of maternity photo images and screenshot the ones you love.You may find a trend start to emerge of what you really like. Studio shots are more intimate and can be more about form whereas outdoors a little less so.
