Maternity shoot at Hyde Park, Perth

Maternity shoot in Hyde Park, Perth

Last month, I had the privilege and joy of doing a maternity photo shoot for my good friends at Hyde Park, Perth. When my friend first approached me to do some photos for her and her husband before her baby came along, I was excited by the challenge but also hesitant as it’s not a photography genre I am familiar with. I did some basic research on maternity photography and also threw around some ideas with her. I suggested Hyde Park in Perth for the location of the shoot as it’s one of my favourite parks in Perth.

It was a fun 2 hours at the park, trying out different locations and poses within the park. They were more than obliging with my suggestions. It was a beautiful sunny morning but we managed to find plenty of shady spots in the park for some nice portraits. As I’m not much of a portrait shooter, it was a great learning experience and a fun challenge. I shot the entire session with my FUJIFILM X-T10 and the FUJINON 35mm f1.4. I absolutely love it for portraiture (also the closest thing I have to a portrait lens). All photos were editing in Lightroom Classic and I quite liked the final tones and style of the photos. These are a some of my favourite photos of the day which I hope tells the story.
