Maternity Photography Truganina, A Short Drive to Our Studio
Truganina mums-to-be are often pleasantly surprised at how little time the drive to Point Cook takes. At Awesome Possum Photography we’re glad to welcome them, and our photography studio sits only about 12 km away, a convenient base if you’re after a Melbourne maternity photographer who builds the whole session around how you’re feeling that day.
Truganina keeps growing, and many of the families who get in touch are expecting a first baby or making room for another. If you’ve typed best maternity photography Melbourne into your phone while putting your feet up, you’ve found us. We keep everything simple from the first message, so you can spend your energy enjoying your pregnancy instead of organising a photoshoot.
Our sessions run at your pace, with a choice of 60 minutes, 2 hours or up to 2.5 hours, so outfit changes, water breaks and a sit-down never feel rushed. The look is soft and flattering: pick from our maternity gowns, wear a handcrafted headband and let us guide your poses so attention stays on your bump and your glow. Partners and children are welcome to join, which means your gallery tells the story of your whole family, not just you.
Most mums book between 28 and 35 weeks, when the bump is full and you still feel comfortable. Afterwards you’ll select your collection from a complete gallery of individually retouched images. When you’re ready, book your maternity session and we’ll look after the details.
What to Expect on the Day, From Your First Hello to Your Final Gallery
Most mums-to-be simply want to know how the day goes, so here is a clear walk-through from the first message to your finished gallery.
- Say hello. Message us your due date and we’ll reply with a quote and package options.
- Pick your package and date. Complete a short pre-booking form, then sign our agreement and pay the booking invoice to hold your session.
- Read your prep guide. The day before, we email a short guide and questionnaire so we know your style ideas and any special items you’d like to bring.
- Visit the studio. Wear loose, comfortable clothing on the way in so tight seams leave no marks on your skin. The room is warm, and your gowns are ready to try.
- Choose your favourites. Select your collection from a complete gallery of individually retouched images.
Your session begins gently, with a chat about your ideas and a look through the gowns. Breaks for water, rest and outfit changes happen whenever you need them. Once you feel settled, we ease into soft poses, then invite your partner and children to join. This calm rhythm gives you maternity photos Melbourne that look natural and relaxed, with your bump and your expression in focus. We suggest booking between 28 and 35 weeks, and if your plans change, we’ll work out a new date with you.
