THOSE
BRAND-NEW
FEELS

There’s nothing quite like those first few weeks.

Our newborn sessions are slow, calm, and completely baby-led. Whether we’re at home, in a natural light studio, or curled up on your couch, the focus is on connection — capturing your little one just as they are, and you as you are with them.

No stiff posing. No pressure. Just gentle guidance, beautiful light, and space for the quiet magic of this new chapter to unfold.

Finer Details:

  • Newborn sessions can take place either in my studio or in your own home, whichever feels more comfortable for you. The focus is on keeping things calm, cosy, and baby-led. We’ll choose a space with soft light and a relaxed atmosphere, so you can settle in and just enjoy being together.

  • We usually photograph newborns within the first 5 days to 2 weeks — when they’re extra sleepy, snuggly, and still curled up from life on the inside. But if that window’s passed, don’t stress — we can absolutely capture older babies too, at any stage.

    Sessions usually take between 2–3.5 hours, allowing plenty of time for feed breaks, settling baby, and moving through the session at a slow, relaxed pace. Everything is baby-led — no rush, no pressure — just space for you to be present and soak in this fleeting season.

    I’ll guide you into natural, flattering positions and capture a mix of images: baby on their own (with all the tiny details — flaky skin, curled-up toes, soft hair), as well as intimate moments with mum, dad, and siblings.

    Wardrobe styling is included, with a range of beautiful pieces available for both mum and baby. I can also help mix in your own items to create a look that feels like you.

    I recommend booking during your second trimester, as I only take on a limited number of newborn sessions each month. We’ll pencil in your due date and confirm the session date once baby arrives.

  • Newborn sessions start at $750 + GST, which includes your choice of 20 edited images from your full gallery as well as access to my client wardrobe.

This season won’t last forever. But these memories can.

The little noises when they breathe, the weight of them in your arms, the quiet in-between moments — all the things you’ll want to remember. Whether we shoot in your home or in studio, we’ll capture it gently, honestly, and just as it is.

  • I recommend booking during your second trimester. I only take on a limited number of newborn sessions each month, so securing your spot early helps make sure we can photograph baby in those early days.

  • Ideally within the first 5–14 days, while they’re still sleepy and curled up. That said, if we’re outside that window — don’t stress. We can still capture beautiful images at any stage.

  • Absolutely. These sessions are just as much about your connection as they are about baby. We'll capture family portraits, sibling moments, and of course, all the little details of your newest love.
