It’s not very often you come across a maternity or newborn photographer whose work is classified as multi-award-winning and recognised internationally. But we’ve done just that. Enter Maggie Smith Photography – and she’s based right here on the Central Coast!
Maggie’s talent for freezing your treasured moments in time is undeniable, as you’ll soon discover while swooning over her gorgeous images that are quite honestly, spellbinding.
Maggie specialises in maternity, newborn, family, AND cake smash photography (if you want to see examples of this last one, check out her website here!) and to say that she’ll do the most precious time in your life justice, is an understatement. But before we get into all the gorgeous squishyness of Maggie’s work, it’s worth mentioning that she usually books sessions with her clients about six months ahead – this doesn’t mean that she’s fully booked at all times, just that timing is of the essence and babies don’t wait (at least not for too long)!
To see some of her beautiful images, find out more about her set locations, and discover an amazing wardrobe of designer maternity gowns and stunning props, read on!

Maggie’s enchanting images will capture your glow and excitement, giving you the ultimate keepsake and fond memories you can always come back to.
Mums-to-be can choose to have a sunrise or sunset photoshoot at a stunning Central Coast location of their choice – think on the beach, in the bush, by a flowing waterfall, or amidst the expansive grassland. Or they can opt for the comfort of a fine art session at Maggie’s studio in Narara.
