Canberra Newborn, Maternity

& Family Photographer

JODI BINGLEY PHOTOGRAPHY

I specialise in maternity, newborn, baby, and family photography in Canberra, capturing the fleeting moments that pass far too quickly. From the quiet anticipation of pregnancy, to tiny toes and delicate fingers, and the genuine connections shared between parents and children, my aim is to create timeless, emotive images your family will treasure for years to come.

As an award-winning Canberra photographer, I bring both professional expertise and genuine understanding to every session. I’m a mother of five myself, and with decades of hands-on experience working with newborns and families, I know how important it is to move gently, patiently, and at a pace that feels natural and relaxed. My sessions are calm, unhurried, and thoughtfully guided, whether we’re celebrating a growing bump, welcoming a new baby, or documenting your family just as you are.

Newborn

With a deep knowledge of newborn safety and posing, and years of experience behind the lens, I create beautifully soft, peaceful images that reflect the love and connection within your family. From maternity through to those precious early days and beyond, your baby’s wellbeing and your family’s comfort are always my highest priority.

Maternity

Pregnancy is fleeting, and my aim is to create timeless, elegant images that celebrate your strength, softness, and the deep connection already forming with your baby. My maternity sessions are calm, relaxed, and thoughtfully guided, allowing you to feel comfortable, confident, and radiant.

Family

I specialise in capturing genuine connection, laughter, and the beautifully imperfect moments that make your family uniquely yours. Childhood passes in the blink of an eye, and my aim is to create timeless, heartfelt images you’ll treasure for generations.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I book my newborn session?

Where possible, newborn photography is best scheduled within the first two weeks after birth. During this time, babies are typically sleepier, more settled, and more comfortable being gently posed. As babies grow, they often become more alert and may experience wind or reflux, which can impact their comfort during a session.

That said, every baby is different. If your little one is older, I will always do my best to accommodate them and work at a pace that suits their needs.

I recommend you contact me anytime from 12 weeks pregnant to book your session!

When is the best time for Maternity photos?

Where possible, maternity photography is best scheduled at around 35 weeks of pregnancy. At this stage, your bump is beautifully rounded and prominent, while you’re usually still feeling comfortable enough to move with ease and enjoy the experience. It’s the perfect time to capture that radiant, glowing stage before the final weeks of pregnancy.

That said, every pregnancy is different. If you’re carrying earlier or later, or if comfort levels vary, I will always work with you to find a time that feels right. My goal is to ensure you feel relaxed, confident, and beautifully celebrated during your session.
