Maternity Photoshoot in Wollongong Beach

Maternity Photoshoot in Wollongong Beach – “Waiting for You”

Photography by S M Imran Hassan | Purple Bird Photo & Video

There’s nothing more beautiful than the journey of motherhood. Our recent maternity session, titled “Waiting for You”, was held on the peaceful shores of Wollongong Beach during sunrise — a perfect moment to celebrate the love, hope, and joy of an expecting mother.

Captured by S M Imran Hassan from Purple Bird Photo & Video, this shoot embraced the glowing warmth of early morning light, the sound of gentle waves, and the raw beauty of the South Coast. From Sandon Point to Thirroul, the Coal Coast provides some of the most breathtaking natural backdrops for maternity photography.

This maternity session wasn’t just about taking pictures. It was about freezing in time the deep bond between mother and baby, highlighting the blooming belly, and telling the story of anticipation and love. Whether you’re based in Wollongong, Shellharbour, or further towards Southern Sydney, this is a reminder that your motherhood journey deserves to be remembered — beautifully.

When Is the Best Time to Schedule Your Maternity Photoshoot?

The best time to plan your maternity shoot is between 28 and 36 weeks of pregnancy. During this period, your bump is nicely round and you're still likely to feel comfortable and relaxed. Whether you live in Wollongong, Cronulla, Sutherland, or Sydney, this window allows for the most flattering and heartfelt portraits.

Indoor vs. Outdoor Maternity Photography: What’s Right for You?

If you love natural light, scenic views, and candid moments, an outdoor maternity shoot (like this sunrise session at Wollongong Beach) is perfect for you. The beach, greenery, and sky offer a timeless, earthy feel to your photos.

Prefer a styled and cozy setting? Indoor maternity photography is ideal for a more intimate and controlled environment — often combined with newborn photography later on.

At Purple Bird Photo & Video, we understand how special this season of life is.
