I have been photographing Mum’s-To-Be for well over ten years so know a thing or two about pregnancy photography! Maternity photographs give you a lifelong memory of a unique and incredible time of your life, and with pregnancy photography shoots starting at $165.00, there has never been a better time to pose!
I love getting pregnancy photos at Wellington Point Reserve as there are so many amazing backdrops, and the sun (pretty much!) sets over water there! The light is fantastic late afternoon but we can get maternity photographs at any time of day there.
I was always welcome input into any pregnancy photography session. I have a few photo ideas but always welcome any thoughts and ideas that you have. These are your photos after all!
You can get a bit more information about my pregnancy photos prices here, or you might be interested in doing a pregnancy and newborn shoot package which you check out at this link.
If you are reading this as you are looking for an engagement photographer….congratulations! I have been taking engagement photos for well over ten years so have learnt a thing or two about couples photography and engagement photography shoots!
Rochelle and Nick chose Miami Beach at sunset for their engagement photography session. Sunset is usually the best time of day for engagement photos, when the light is low and gorgeous; although with these two stunning models, we were sorted for gorgeousness!
I actively encourage input with your engagement photography session. Rochelle had heaps of amazing ideas and sent them through before the shoot so I was well prepped. We had a gorgeous afternoon; enough cloud to add interest and colour but not too much to make the afternoon gloomy and dull.
Rochelle was keen to show off her engagement ring so we got some close ups, and with the guys having been together 16 years their natural chemistry was instant.
Every engagement shoot is different and unique to each couple. I would love to hear your thoughts and ideas and your favourite locations for your beautiful, unique engagement shoot.
Engagement Photo Shoot prices start at just $165.00 for a 30-minute shoot in the Redlands. You can get a bit more information at our Engagement Photos page.
I have been photographing soon-to-be Mums for over a decade and absolutely love every maternity shoot I do. Maternity photos capture something so special at such a unique time of your life so feel honoured every time I get to capture this amazing time. Maternity photos are usually taken around the 32 – 36 week mark when the bump is big but not too late that we might miss out!
I have a maternity photography and new born package that includes a 25 minute maternity shoot at Wellington Point Reserve and a 2-hour newborn shoot in your own home (see the package details here!) but on this occasion Chantal and Marius chose to have their maternity photos at Curtis Falls at Mt Tamborine. I have known the couple for years (I photographed their awesome sunrise wedding in Byron Bay last year!) so didn’t hesitate to say yes!
With maternity photos I always get plenty of photos of the couple but focus mainly on solo photos of Mum. Siblings are also welcome to the shoot, as are fur babies! I also actively encourage input and ideas so feel free to send through those Pinterest boards!
You can wear whatever feels comfortable to your maternity shoot. Some Mummas want to show their bump, others are a little shy, and that’s totally fine! The most important thing is that this amazing time of your life gets captured. It flies by too quickly, and then life is never the same again!
If you have any questions or would like to lock in a session, I would love to hear from you.
Andy is the best Elopement Photographer Brisbane! I have been photographing weddings for well over ten years and I adore what I do for a living! Every wedding is different and every couple is awesome! Since Covid, more couples are opting for a quick elopement wedding. And I would love to help out!
Elopement Photography
Amanda and Justin had a midweek elopement wedding and booked me for the hour (only $550 within 30kms of the Redlands!). The elopement photography package still includes a chat to go through the plans and includes an uncapped number of high resolution digital photos.
Elopement weddings tend to be smaller, more intimate celebrations and Amanda and Justin’s was no different with just their kids and a few family members to share their special day. Rebecca Cawood officiated the ceremony – she was awesome and a lot of fun to work with. You can check out her website here: https://www.marriedbybec.com.au/
Once the paperwork signed we headed to Shornecliffe jetty for some bride and groom photos. Water backdrops always make for amazing photo locations, and the couple were the perfect models! In spite of the heat!
Elopement Photographer
An elopement wedding is a great option if you are looking for a more intimate wedding, or are on a budget! Being an elopement photographer Brisbane myself, I would love to hear from you! I have a midweek elopement photography package for just $550 for 1-hour. This is usually enough time to cover the ceremony and a handful of bride and groom shots. For a bit more time for family photos, a few extra bridal party photos the start of the reception, a 2-hour elopement package is just $890. You can see the wedding photography packages here.
Congratulations on locking in your wedding! I would love to hear from you! Feel free to call Andy on 0468 405225 or email: andy@athousandmilesphotography.com.au
Those amazing nine months of pregnancy fly by all too quickly; an affordable maternity photography shoot is a great way to capture those memories.
I have photographed hundreds of Mums-to-be over the last 15 years so I am always happy to give some posing tips and advice.
Wellington Point Reserve is a great spot for maternity photography. And sunset is the perfect time of day. The sun (sort of!) sets over water, and the low light at the end of the day makes everything, and everyone, glow. I live close to the reserve so know the best spots for pregnancy photos, and know the best locations as the sun is setting.
Pregnancy Photographer
Our affordable maternity photography packages start at just $165 for a 25-minute pregnancy session in the mainland Redlands. This includes at least 15 high resolution digital images. An hour session, which includes at least 30 high resolution images is $220. You can get more information at the maternity photography page.
There is also the option to combine a maternity photo shoot with a newborn shoot. Doing a baby package means you get to celebrate and remember your whole pregnancy journey. And who doesn’t love gorgeous, squishy baby photos?!
“Thank you so so much Andy, wow they turned out amazing! better than I could have imagined. We really appreciate your work! Just stunning.” Chelsea, November 2024
We would love to hear from you! Contact us with some dates and locations!
I had been wanting to get some Kooroomba Lavender fields photos for ages so when Vidur contacted me to photograph his proposal, I jumped at the chance! I had visited Kooroomba a few months earlier for an amazing lunch and wine tasting but had never photographed there before. Now I have!
“Hi Andy, Thank you soooo much for yesterday!!! The entire proposal went very well and Bronte was surprised! We absolutely loved the engagement photo shoot, you made it so comfortable and easy for us. The entire experience was so wonderful and exceeded my expectations! You are a legend! It honestly felt like we had known you for a very long time.”
And wow! What a place! Kooroomba lavender fields and vineyards is a gorgeous spot for a wedding, or in this case; a proposal! It took James Bond type stealth between Vee and I to keep the proposal secret in the weeks building up to the event, but all went incredibly well! I was trying to hide amongst the lavender bushes as Vee got into position! I have never taken so many photos of bees in my life!
And the proposal was filled with emotion! There were tears on both sides, but she said yes!!!!
After the hugs and the selfies I went to say hello to Bronte and we started our romantic engagement photo shoot! We started in the roo-filled vineyard, and then got some awesome photos at Kooroomba’s unique wedding chapel! What an amazing place! The guys re-enacted the proposal and then we took a wander through the lavender.
Engagement Photographer
As the sun got lower the light got better. I couldn’t stop snapping! Bronte’s red dress really shone in the late afternoon sun!
I loved getting some Kooroomba lavender fields photos. The backdrop is spectacular and the colour bursting from the lavender is amazing!
Couples Photographer
“WOW!! Those pictures are beautiful! We’re lost for words. I can’t thank you enough for them!!!” Vidur Raniga

If you are reading this as you are recently engaged: congratulations! Hopefully you are looking for some photo inspo ideas for an engagement shoot? Well I would love to help out! I love Beerwah engagement photos and I have photographed around the Glasshouse Mountain area many times. Knowing the area well means I know the best, quietest and most hidden spots!
I met Leisl and Klae at a wedding recently and once Klae popped the question they called and asked if I would get some Beerwah engagement photos for them. Oh yeah! They are such an amazing, loved up couple and I couldn’t wait! Happily I knew the area well, but Leisl and Klae took a drive north to do some photo location spotting themselves. We started in Maleny then headed down the range to an area near Australia Zoo. We had the lanes to ourselves so were able to snap in peace without prying eyes!
Engagement Photo Shoot
As the afternoon light got better, we headed closer to the Glasshouse mountains and got in amongst the amazing pine trees that dot the region. The low afternoon light made for a perfect couples photo shoot as Leisl showed off her engagement bling!
Couple Photo Shoot
The guys were brave enough to bush bash and get amongst it! The dirt paths around there are awesome for leading line photographs, but we wanted to get closer to the trees to capture that slowly setting sun filtering through. Golden hour indeed!
Engagement shoot prices start at $165 for a 25-minute shoot in the Redlands. But for more photos and more shooting time (and dare I say more fun!) you can opt for my 2-hour dedicated engagement shoot package. This gives 120-minutes of photography and around 60-80 edited high resolution digital images for $450! (Some locations may have a small travel fee, depending on location!)
A Maternity and Newborn Photography Package is the perfect way to welcome your new arrival. A maternity photo shoot is an amazing way to capture those glowing months. And a newborn photo shoot is an essential way to capture those early days when your baby is gorgeous, tiny, and new.
A Thousand Miles Photography have an amazing Maternity and Newborn Photo Package that includes:
A 30-minute maternity photo shoot at Wellington Point Reserve
This includes 15 edited high resolution digital images
A 2-hour newborn shoot at your own home
This shoot includes 30 – 40 edited high resolution digital images
All for $550 total!
Maternity Photos
Christel and Ben booked in the Maternity and Newborn Photo Package to celebrate the arrival of their son Nathan. They brought along Leah, their daughter for both shoots (families and fur babies are always welcome at our shoots!) and she was so excited about the arrival of her baby brother!
Maternity photo shoots can be done at any time, but I personally love late afternoon as the sun is setting. The light is low, and Wellington Point Reserve is one of the few places on Australia’s east coast that sees the sun set over water (ideal for baby bump silhouettes!) Christel and Ben chose the perfect day.
Newborn Photos
Newborn baby photos are usually taken in the first 2 weeks when Bub is still tiny and sleeps more! In truth newborn shoots can be done any time in the first 6 weeks, but by then your baby will have filled out and will be awake a little more! But they will also be learning to smile – so cute!
Since Covid, I have been doing newborn baby photo shoots exclusively at your own home. The success rate is so much higher than being in a studio! Parents are more relaxed, as is Baby. You don’t have to pack a bag only to forget nappies etc. I bring everything I need for the photos: baskets, blankets, wraps, lighting, so you just need a Baby and we are good to go!
You are welcome to do just a newborn shoot of course. These are still conducted in your own home and are just $450, which will include between 30 – 40 edited, high resolution digital images.
If you would like more information and would like to lock in a date, feel free to contact us!
It isn’t often someone steals my heart but Rosie most certainly did! As a pet photographer I meet a lot of fur babies and love their unique charms and personalities! Rosie was just beautiful – so easy to photograph, so well behaved and such a loving and obedient puppy!
“They look fantastic, you got so many great ones of Rosie!! Really appreciate everything, you’ve been fantastic!” Jo
And so were her parents Jo and Jarrah! Jo had called a few weeks earlier wanting some pet photographs to capture Rosie before her surgery. I jumped at the chance! Every day is different for photographers and I love the chance for some weekend pet photography!
As with all of my family photography sessions, I get as many different combinations as possible. Pet photography is no different and I mixed up the combos early on! Rosie was an absolute gem in her solo photos, sitting on demand, staying when told to do so – as did her parents! On occasion 😉
We took the pet photography photos at Wellington Point Reserve. It is a great location with bay views, Moreton Bay figs and an open grassy area for Rosie to run around in. A pet photographer usually needs a degree of patience but not so with Rosie! She was a dream! And she even let me get some lovely couple photos of her Mum and Dad!
Our pet photography sessions start at $165 for a 25-minute shoot in the Redlands. To capture the unique personality of your fur babies, we would love to hear from you!
If you are looking for an affordable way to get a selection of amazing family photographs, our Mini Photo Shoots could be exactly what you are looking for! Lasting just 20 minutes (how kid-friendly is that?!), our mini photo sessions include 10 high resolution digital images without any compulsory print spend or added extras!
With the ever changing economy, I thought a budget-friendly option to photography would prove popular, and it really has! Mini Photo Sessions are here to stay!
The feedback has been amazing so I am going to make the mini shoots a regular thing! I will lock out a particular day every couple of months for a Mini Shoot Day, either in New Farm Park, or near me in Wellington Point Reserve!
Affordable Family Photography Brisbane
The shorter photo shoot time has been amazingly popular! Even the most restless of kids can stay still for 20 minutes! It has meant easier, more relaxed family photo sessions and without a hefty price tag! And that’s the best part – the Mini sessions at Wellington Point are only $110, and in New Farm Park they are $129! How good is that?
All of the family photographs on this page were taken at our mini photo shoots, so as you can see there is boundless option for photo combinations and locations.
As always, there are no restrictions to the number of people attending the shoot. A few things to remember:
Mini shoots last for 20 minutes and include 10 high resolution digital images
A non refundable deposit of $50 is required to confirm the booking. No shows or late arrivals will forfeit the deposit. The balance is due on the day.
Allow plenty of time for parking and delays! Mini shoots are time specific and late arrivals will eat into your shoot time!
