Frequently Asked Questions

when should i book?

As soon as you’re ready to book! The sooner you secure your spot, the more likely I’ll have availability for your preferred dates. We’ll schedule your sessions at the time of booking, with the flexibility to adjust closer to the date if needed.

when do we schedule my maternity shoot?

The ideal time for singleton, low-risk pregnancies is between 32–37 weeks, when you’re still comfortable enough to move around the location, and your bump is beautiful and showing.

For high-risk pregnancies or multiples, 27–34 weeks is a lovely window to capture those special moments. If you’d feel more comfortable booking earlier, we can absolutely adjust to suit you!

when do we schedule my newborn shoot?

Your newborn shoot will be scheduled for 10+ days past your due date; giving you time to heal, settle in, and soak up those precious newborn bubble moments. Please be in touch if your little one is expected to be overdue, we can schedule accordingly! There will be plenty of time within our newborn session for milky spews, feeding and resettling if needed.

is winter a bad time for photos?

Absolutely not! I do limit sessions during the colder months to allow flexibility for reschedules and weather delays. While the unpredictable weather adds a bit of adventure, please note I don’t shoot in rain, strong winds, or hail; ensuring the best experience for you and your family.

how long will my gallery take?

You’ll have your images with you in no time! My current turnaround time is 3-4 weeks. Once you receive your sneak peek images, I’ll provide an exact delivery date for peace of mind. Please note, my contract allows up to 6 weeks just in case of unforeseen circumstances -but rest assured, I aim to deliver as soon as possible!

what do i wear?

Once your booking is confirmed, you’ll receive my carefully curated Style Guide - designed to perfectly complement my style while ensuring your comfort. Think dreamy, boho neutrals; they’re always a vibe!

And don’t forget, my Client Closet is included in all Classic and Bespoke Collections, offering a selection of stunning pieces to make your session effortlessly beautiful.

can i purchase just a few extra images?

Absolutely! While my full gallery upgrade is $150, you’re welcome to hand-pick a few favourites for just $5 each. Your session, your way!

can i bring my mum (baby’s nan)?

YES! For motherhood sessions, I always encourage bringing along your mum - it’s so special to capture three generations together, even if it’s just a few heartfelt moments at the end. For family sessions, though, an extended family add-on would be needed. Let me know, and we can plan something magical!

    "Chloe is an excellent photographer who will make you feel at ease, she is so respectful. I’m so happy with both experiences at my maternity and newborn shoot, and any worries I had before the shoot disappeared when we began the session. Now I have memories to last a lifetime, thank you. "

    “Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I'd be confident enough to do this for myself to treasure precious moments with the love of my life and my beautiful bump before our little one is earth side!

    Chloe at Candid Cove Photography I can't thank you enough for making me feel so comfortable and confident with a big baby belly! These memories will stay with Brandon and I for a life time.”

  • Sally - bump to baby client

    “Capturing pivotal moments in our lives is invaluable, as these images serve as lasting reminders that cannot be recreated. My journey through infertility and IVF has profoundly enhanced my appreciation for each stage of pregnancy.

    Despite the chilly atmosphere, we both thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The shoot exceeded our expectations, especially considering that we don’t typically consider ourselves photogenic. The guidance provided throughout the session was invaluable, allowing us to capture some truly remarkable moments. We left feeling reassured that we made the right choice in scheduling the shoot and selecting you as our photographer, as your professionalism fostered a comfortable environment.”

    “Do not hesitate!!! A photoshoot with Chlo is the best investment you can make during pregnancy. She is so easy to work with and makes you comfortable even if you are a shy person like me :) Chlo, thank you for being so kind. I am so glad I chose you.”
