MOTHERHOOD UNSCRIPTED
Maternity, newborn & family photography in Brisbane
Messy hair. Milk stains. Pure magic
Let's be real.. you take all the photos, which means you're in basically none of them. Time to fix that. We're a small team of photographers in a cosy little studio in Gaythorne, and we're obsessed with the real stuff.. the snuggles, the chaos, the sticky fingers, and the way your kid looks at you like you hung the moon.
20 years' experience
Gaythorne studio, Brisbane northside Afterpay, Zip & Payright
Not perfect. Just yours.
Motherhood isn't a Pinterest board, and your photos shouldn't pretend it is. Nobody here is lining you up like a school photo and yelling "say cheese". We're after the good stuff.. the way your baby grabs a fistful of your hair, the way your toddler steals the show, the way you look at them when you think nobody's watching.
Fussy baby? Toddler doing laps of the studio? Not quite friends with your postpartum body yet? Mama, we get it. Your photographer will guide you through every bit of it, so you can stop stressing about your angles and just be with your people.
OUR SESSIONS
Every stage. Every mess. All of it
Maternity photography in Brisbane
You're growing a whole human. That deserves more than a bathroom mirror selfie and a bump update in the group chat. Our maternity sessions are soft, flattering and all about you.. before life gets very, very loud.
Come solo, bring your partner, or bring the big kids who are about to get a promotion. The sweet spot is 26 to 32 weeks, while you can still get off the couch without a run-up.. but any time works.
Newborn photography in Brisbane
Those first weeks are a blur of milk, nappies and staring at their tiny face at 3am. They also vanish way too fast. We'll catch all of it.. the fingers, the rolls, the milk-drunk faces, and you, holding them without a phone in your hand for once.
Bub's the boss here. We feed, settle and cuddle as often as they need, and the studio stays warm and calm. The magic window is 2–3 weeks old, while they're still sleepy and curly.
Family & motherhood portraits
For the whole crew, or just you and your kids. This is where the magic (and the mess) happens.. tickle fights, piggybacks, someone flat out refusing to wear shoes. Dads, nannas, grandpas and siblings are all welcome.
These are the photos your kids will drag out in twenty years and say "look at us". So get in the bloody frame, mama.
Straight from our mamas
“Such a beautiful experience from start to finish! ❤️ The team made us feel so comfortable and made working with our baby so easy. The photos turned out absolutely stunning and honestly brought tears to our eyes. 🥹 We’ll treasure these memories forever. Thank you for capturing them so beautifully! ✨”
Kinal . NEWBORN SESSION
“We had such a beautiful experience during our maternity photoshoot. From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed, cared for and completely comfortable. Kiki was incredibly kind, patient and thoughtful, making sure we felt relaxed and confident throughout the whole session. As soon as we walked out my partner who hates being the centre of attention said “that was so fun! I really enjoyed that! I’d love to do it again””
MADISON . MATERNITY SESSION
“I can’t recommend Kiki enough!! We aren’t a photoshoot family, but she made everything so easy and comfortable for us. She even wrangled our three year old daughter!!
The pictures turned out better than I could have hoped for. Would recommend her in a heartbeat :) ”

The questions everyone asks
-
26–32 weeks is the sweet spot, but any time works. Later is totally fine too.. you're just playing chicken with labour! Book early for the best pick of dates.
-
2–3 weeks old is gold.. sleepy, curly and squishy. When you book, choose a date 1–3 weeks after your due date. Bub has other plans? No stress.. just let us know and we'll reschedule.
-
Yes please! Bring the whole crew. Just let us know who's coming so we can plan around everyone.
-
Then they're a normal kid. Our photographers have seen it all.. tantrums, poonamis, the full "I'm not doing it" sit-in. We take breaks, feed, play and roll with whatever mood walks through the door. Some of the best shots come straight out of the chaos.
-
Don't stress about it yet. Our style guide lands in your inbox 2 weeks before your session, with everything you need to dress the whole crew.
-
Hit Book Now or send us an enquiry. We'll have a quick phone chat, then lock in your date with the booking fee. Dates go fast, so don't sit on it too long.
-
Kids get sick. Life happens. You can reschedule once with 2–3 weeks' notice, and we're flexible with illness and emergencies. Full terms are in your contract.
-
Only if you say yes. Your photos, your call.. we'll check with you at your reveal.
-
Your digital gallery lands 2 weeks after your gallery reveal, once your full balance is paid. Printed goodies take 6–8 weeks.
