Who said maternity photos can’t be at home?

Slow cooker on.
Your favourite tunes playing.
Bare feet.
A few outfit changes.
Your dog absolutely convinced they’re the main character.

No rushing off anywhere. No audience. Just you, at home, soaking up the calm before the incoming storm of parenthood descends!

I LOVE an at-home maternity session.

And even better? Coming back a few weeks later with your new little person in the mix.

Same home. Same two people. Completely different world.

The ultimate before + after.

I’m now booking into early 2027, with some dates still available for the rest of 2026.

If there’s a baby on the way, I’d love to capture this part before everything changes.

Because once upon a time my baby boy didn’t have a bigger shoe size than me.

Because his foot used to fit in my hand. He used those toes to push off his first crawl. To take his first steps.

For his first scooter and bike ride and ride without training wheels.

And now as he shoots skyward at a rate I cannot keep up with in height or food supplies, I wish I could go back and hold them in my hand just one more time.

Because everyone says ‘they’re not little for long’, and my heart aches to tell you, they’re right.

Well, hiiii. I’m Melina.

If you’re new here, welcome.

If you’ve been here for a while, thanks for sticking around.

This is me, how I work, and what you can expect if you book a session with me.

Have a scroll. I hope it feels like getting to know a new friend.

Full sun dreaming ☀️

MADI ROHAN at the beach with Oscar and sweet Hugo just weeks away from joining us.

Taken in the middle of the day in the winter sun, you’d be forgiven for thinking this was anywhere else but the Surf Coast, near Geelong - we’re not known for our piping hot winters down here, after all!

Now booking maternity photoshoots at my favourite Geelong and surrounds beach and other locations through to 2027.
