Affordable Maternity Photography

Posted on January 21, 2025March 11, 2025

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?!

We would love to hear from you! Contact us with some dates and locations!

Affordable Family Photographs

Posted on September 11, 2024March 11, 2025

I have been photographing families for well over ten years. And I love my job! If you are looking for affordable family photographs, I would love to help out! I am a Dad to two kids myself so I speak their language! I also photograph 300 families a year so have plenty of training in dealing with meltdowns, shyness and tantrums!

Our Affordable Family Photograph packages start at $110 for one of our mini shoots. If you are wanting something a little more relaxed, and with a few more photographs included, you can book a 25 minute photo shoot in the Redlands for as little as $165.00. Being that all of our packages include your high resolution digital images, there are no hidden extra costs or charges involved. Refreshing hey?!!

Family Photo Shoot

Ayumi had booked a family photo shoot with me in 2022 and loved the experience so recently rebooked. She was looking for a more candid style of photography so after a handful of posed ones (good for Christmas gifts!) I put on the big lens and let the magic happen!

I have a lot of families who have family photos taken once or twice every year. Having an affordable family photographer means you can capture the kids growing. No-one ever said they had too many photos of the kids when they were little!

If you are looking to update the family photo collection or would love some affordable family photographs, you can call Andy on 0468 405225 (I am super friendly!!). Or my email is andy@athousandmilesphotography.com.au

I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Maternity and Newborn Photo Package

Posted on September 5, 2024March 11, 2025

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

maternity and newborn photography packages

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 can get more information at this link:

Newborn Photography Brisbane and Gold Coast

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!

Pet Photographer

Posted on May 29, 2024March 11, 2025

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!

Mini Photo Shoots

Posted on May 15, 2024March 12, 2025

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!

You can check our next Mini Shoot Days on our Portrait Photography Page. Or you can email me at andy@athousandmilesphotography.com.au or call me on 0468 405225

I look forward to seeing you soon!

Affordable Maternity Photographer

Posted on May 8, 2024March 11, 2025

Although it may feel as if you have already been pregnant for years, those precious maternity months fly by all too quickly! An affordable maternity photographer, such as Andy Williams of A Thousand Miles Photography, can capture those amazing moments before the life change of Bub’s arrival.

We have two options for maternity photographs – either a standalone maternity shoot at a location of your choice, or we have a very popular maternity and newborn package available. This includes a 25-minute maternity shoot at Wellington Point Reserve (where these photos were taken!) and a 2-hour newborn shoot at your home. The total cost for this package is just $550 and will include 15 high resolution digital images from the maternity shoot and 30 from the newborn session!

You can get more information at this link, or we would love to hear from you!

So when is the best time to do an affordable maternity photography shoot? The best general advice is to have the baby bump photos taken around the 32-36 week mark when the bump is big but not too close to your due date that we may miss out!

Affordable Newborn Photographer

And what about the newborn photo shoot? Generally when Bub is around 2 weeks old, but in truth any time in the first 6 weeks works well!

A good affordable maternity photographer will give you some guidance for poses and advice on what clothing to wear. Something that makes you feel beautiful and confident works well, and something that will show off that glorious bump to maximum effect!

If you are considering having some affordable maternity photographs taken, we guarantee you won’t regret it! These months are too fleeting and capturing these priceless moments are a must!

We would love to hear from you! Andy Williams xx

Graduation Photography

Posted on February 5, 2024February 5, 2024

Capture those once in a lifetime milestone moments, such as a university graduation or high school formal with A Thousand Miles Photography’s fun and affordable graduation photography options. Lara graduated from UQ last year and opted for a one hour photo shoot at her graduation ceremony in St Lucia, and was delighted with the results!

It isn’t every day that you graduate university or high school so a graduation photography session is an ideal way to capture those moments forever.

We started with some photos of Lara by herself, then got some graduation photos with her family. The UQ campus was very busy but we managed to find some quieter spots inside the Great Court and at the front of the main building where Lara was joined by her university friends for a group photo, and a fun photo of everyone throwing their mortar boards!

A Thousand Miles Photography specialise in all kinds of event photography, such as birthday parties, graduation photography, high school formal photography, conferences and events. Andy’s fun and relaxed outlook to photography means that you too will feel relaxed which will come across in your photographs!

If you are looking for an affordable photographer for your graduation, formal or event then we would love to hear from you! Click here to send us an email!

Affordable Family Photographer!

Posted on January 16, 2024March 11, 2025

If you are looking for an Affordable Family Photographer, Andy Williams of A Thousand Miles Photography can help! I travel around South East Queensland photographing families, couples, and weddings, and I adore my job!

Not only will you have fun on your shoot, but you will receive your high resolution digital images (so there are no hidden fees or extra print charges!!) within a week! Finding an Affordable Family Photographer isn’t easy – all too often the sitting fees may seem reasonable but the costs of acquiring the photographs can be extortionate! We take great pride in what we do, and we do it fairly and affordably too!

I am based in the Redlands on Brisbane’s Bayside but travel throughout the South East Queensland region. It works out a little cheaper if you travel to my region but I cover anywhere from the Sunshine Coast, down to the Southern Gold Coast – you can see the pricing here.

I do a lot of my family photo shoots at Wellington Point Reserve as there are so many amazing backdrops we can use! But I know the Redlands, and the Great Brisbane region very well so am always happy to offer some location suggestions, and clothing and posing advice comes for free too!

Family photography is my full time job so I work 7 days and (almost!) 365 days a year to capture your beautiful family. If you would like to check date availability, I would love to hear from you!
