Maternity, Newborn & Family Stories & Session Tips

I didn’t have maternity photos when I was pregnant. Recently, I photographed a relaxed outdoor maternity and family session at Stoney Creek in Byfield, just outside Rockhampton, and it completely changed how I see them. Because this is what I would have wanted.

This family told me right at the start that they hate having their photos taken. They felt awkward about it, but they wanted to remember their daughter just before she turned one. We met barefoot in the long grass near Yeppoon, took things slowly, followed their little girl’s lead, and created photos that felt natural, comfortable, and true to them.

If you’re looking for things to do with kids in Yeppoon, these are the places our family returns to again and again. Not the big, flashy attractions, but the everyday outings that slow us down and bring us together. From big swims at the lagoon to quiet beach mornings and island days, Yeppoon has a way of turning ordinary family time into memories that last.
