Why People Book

Because this stage is gone before you realise it

Newborn photos aren’t about “cute poses”. They’re about remembering what your life actually looked and felt like when everything changed.

This is for parents who want:

  • Natural photos that feel real (not over-styled)
  • A calm session where nothing is rushed
  • Baby-led pacing with breaks as needed
  • Printed keepsakes that don’t get lost in a phone

Your MEMORIES

What the Session Feels Like

Slow. Warm. Baby-led.

You don’t need to do anything impressive. You just need to feed, cuddle, and be with your baby.

I’ll guide you gently the whole way with simple direction that works in real homes:

  • Settling and cuddling on the bed or couch
  • Tiny details (hands, feet, lashes, wrinkly skin)
  • Mum and baby, dad and baby, whole family together
  • Siblings included (with a plan that suits their age)

If baby needs a feed, a change, or a pause, we take it. That’s normal.

Your photos should exist in real life

Phones don’t become family history

Most people mean to print their newborn photos. Then the weeks blur, the gallery gets buried, and nothing gets made.

That’s why my collections are built around printed artwork, with digitals as an add-on (not the main event).

Typical favourites for newborn clients:

  • A small set of matted prints (easy to frame later)
  • A framed hero print for the nursery
  • A fine art album (the full story, easy to revisit)

Digital files are included, but the real value is owning something physical.

    • Calm, guided, and flexible
    • We move slowly and follow baby’s pace
  3. Gallery delivered in 1 week

Let’s make something for your wall.

Enquire now

If you’re ready, send an enquiry and tell me:

  • Baby’s due date (or baby’s age)
  • Who you want included (parents, siblings)
  • Your home suburb (so I can plan timing)
  • What package you’re leaning towards

Frequently Asked Questions

Ideal is usually within the first 5 to 21 days, but lifestyle newborn sessions work beautifully later too. If baby is 3 to 8 weeks, we just lean into more awake moments and connection.

It doesn’t need to be perfect. We usually use one or two spots with good window light (often the bedroom and living room). A quick tidy of bedside tables and benches is plenty. I’ll tell you exactly what matters in the prep guide.

I keep it simple and natural. I’ll use what you already have (blankets, wraps, nursery items). If you have something meaningful, we include it. If you want a more styled look, tell me and we’ll plan it.

Totally normal. The session is designed for this. We allow time for feeds, cuddles, changing, and resets. The goal is calm, not “perfect”.

Yes. I’ll guide it so it doesn’t turn into chaos. For toddlers, we do sibling photos early while their patience is highest, then let them go play.

You’ll get a guide. Short version: simple, comfortable, soft tones, no big logos. For newborns: plain onesies, wraps, or a simple nappy cover photograph best.

Usually 1 to 2 hours, sometimes longer if baby needs more breaks. We don’t rush.
