This Isn’t About Looking Perfect—It’s About Feeling Real

Honest, personalised maternity sessions designed around you

Perth, WA

Hey, I get it.

You’re not sleeping well. You’re carrying more than just a belly.
You’re spending money on a cot, bottles, prams — and this photoshoot?
Maybe it feels a little extra.

But I’ve been there.
I’ve had two kids.

With my first, I only did the newborn photos.
With my second — right in the middle of lockdown — I did both. And I nearly didn’t.

I’d gained weight. I felt exhausted. I could barely move some days, let alone plan a photoshoot.
I ended up doing a self-portrait session at home, in between naps and feeding my toddler.
It felt like a stretch (in every way).

But when I saw those images?
It changed everything.

I didn’t see just tired eyes or a body that looked different.
I saw strength. Stillness. A woman who was in it.

And now? I’m so glad I have them.

This isn’t about perfection.

It’s about presence.

The way your hand rests on your belly.
The softness in your eyes.
The stillness in your body.

The quiet power you’re carrying — maybe without even knowing it.

These sessions aren’t stiff or posed.
There are no props.

Just you — right here, right now.

What I Offer

No two stories are the same — and your session shouldn’t be either.
Each shoot is designed around your vision, your energy, your comfort.

Want something quiet and moody in the studio?
Or soft, movement-filled images at home or outdoors?

We’ll chat, we’ll plan, and we’ll create something that feels like you.

BOOK YOUR SESSION

“Being a mum of two herself she really understood how vulnerable you can feel during your pregnancy and made me feel so comfortable and at ease.”
Marion C
“I didn’t have a pregnancy photo shoot with my first pregnancy and I didn’t think it would matter that much, but it actually was one of my small regrets. I am so glad that this time around I took the time to do it, and I choose you and your artistry! I love photos each and everyone of them. They are exactly what I had envisioned and they make me feel so special and loved.”
Federica Z
“Manca takes her time to make sure both the client feels good and the end result is excellent. I would definitely recommend her!”
Petra K
“I'm incredibly happy with the images. Manca created a space and process in which I felt safe, and I'm so grateful that she captured the beauty of my pregnancy.”
