Watching two people step into parenthood after photographing their love story from the beginning is one of the quiet joys of this job, and seeing Kyle and Steph again felt like reconnecting with an old favourite chapter just as a new one begins.

We met at one of my favourite bushy, grassy field spots in South West Sydney — the kind of place that feels calm and open, with soft light that wraps around people so beautifully. It was the perfect setting for a maternity session that felt warm, gentle, and full of life.

Kyle and Steph arrived glowing, relaxed, and so ready to celebrate this moment before their first baby arrives. There was this lovely mix of playfulness and tenderness between them — the kind of connection that makes photographing couples feel effortless. They wandered through the long grass, laughed their way through the breeze, and held each other with that quiet, loving anticipation that only expectant parents truly understand.

What I loved most was how naturally they fell into the moment. No posing needed, just two people soaking up the last stretch of life as a family of two, dreaming about the little one they’ll soon be holding. The whole session felt light and joyful, with that signature Ingleburn warmth that always makes outdoor sessions feel so inviting.

Seeing Kyle and Steph again, now on the cusp of parenthood, was such a privilege. Their wedding day was unforgettable — but this chapter feels just as meaningful, just as full of heart. I can’t wait to meet their little one and continue documenting the beautiful story they’re building together.
