Celebrate Your Beautiful Bump with Radiant Maternity Photography
Pregnancy is such a magical time – let's capture the glow, the anticipation, and the pure joy of growing your little one.
Why new parents trust Stills by JP
You’ll feel comfortable and confident
Gentle direction, flattering light and simple posing mean you never have to wonder what to do with your hands or how to stand. My goal is for you to feel like yourself, just with a little extra glow.
Beautiful Sutherland Shire locations
Whether you love beach sunsets or quiet green spaces, we’ll choose a spot that feels like you and suits the season you’re in.
Sessions that work with your body, not against it
No awkward angles or uncomfortable positions. We keep things relaxed, move at your pace and create natural portraits that honour where you’re at right now.
Clear guidance on timing
I’ll help you pick the best stage for your session (usually around 30–34 weeks) so your bump is showing, you’re still comfortable and we’ve got room to reschedule if the weather turns.
TIP: Book early! I recommend scheduling during your second trimester for best availability.
Your Investment
Growing belly, brand-new baby, busy little crew… whatever season you’re in, you should know exactly what you’re booking and what it costs. No guesswork.
Deposit: $150
This locks in your date and covers everything leading up to your session.
Packages from $550 (Deposit comes off this amount)
Once you enquire, I’ll send you the package options so you can choose what suits your family and your budget.
Every collection includes my calm, gentle approach, shoots anywhere across the Shire (or your home if getting out the door feels impossible) and photos that feel relaxed and true to you.

What to expect at your Maternity session
BEFORE WE MEET
We’ll chat through what you’d love the session to feel like, choose outfits that photograph well and work with your style, and pick a location that suits both your vision and how you’re feeling physically. I’ll also share a few simple tips so you feel prepared without having to overthink anything. And if your energy levels shift (because pregnancy…), we can be flexible.
DURING YOUR SESSION
The pace stays relaxed with plenty of breaks whenever you need them. I’ll guide you into comfortable, flattering positions that work with your body, not against it, and we’ll focus on natural shots that show the connection between you and your bump. Partners are welcome to join in too — it’s a sweet way to capture this stage together.
AFTER YOUR SESSION
You’ll receive a little sneak peek within 24 hours so you have something lovely to look at straight away. Your full edited gallery arrives within 2–3 weeks, ready as high-resolution files you can save, share or print. And if you’d like some help choosing prints, albums or ways to display your images, I can walk you through the options and what works best for your style and space.

Hey, I'm Jodie
As a mother myself, I understand how special and sometimes overwhelming pregnancy can be. My goal is to help you see yourself through my lens – radiant, powerful, and beautifully feminine.
I believe every woman deserves to feel celebrated during pregnancy, and these photos will remind you of this incredible time when your little one is running around keeping you busy!
When I'm not photographing beautiful bumps, you'll find me at Cronulla Beach with my own family, still amazed by the miracle of growing and raising tiny humans.
Let's celebrate this magical time
Pregnancy is such a unique and fleeting season of life. Your body is doing something absolutely incredible, and this anticipation and excitement deserves to be documented beautifully.
Don't let this special time pass without capturing it.
