Newborn photography
Our newborns don't stay little for long.
Do you want to capture this fleeting moment?
I offer newborn photography for babies aged between 5 days to 6 weeks old. At this age we can truly capture their "newness".
We will capture how they snuggle close to your chest for comfort, how their hand wraps around your finger and all the little things that will quickly disappear as they grow.
How it works
The sessions take place in my Ryde home studio and generally take 2-3 hours. Your baby is the boss of our shoot and if they need a feed, nappy change or a cuddle we pause, there is no rush. Use this time to sit back and relax and enjoy watching your baby's first ever shoot.
All sessions include family and sibling photos. For me, these are the most important photos from the session. While you may be tired or you don't feel camera ready, I would encourage you to be in the photos. Exist in the photos for yourself and your family. If the grandparents are visiting, they are more than welcome to join in too.
Over the years I have invested in beautiful outfits and props for babies that I know will photograph well, so there's no need to worry about organising an outfit for your baby before the shoot. You will also have access to my client closet for mum and the kids. These pieces are timeless and photograph beautifully and have been kid tested and approved :) So that's one less thing to prep before our shoot.
I believe that your photos should be enjoyed and displayed in your home or in an album that you can look at with your family. My packages include a mix of digitals and prints to give you the best of both worlds. All my print products are on display at the studio so while you are waiting, feel free to look at all your print options.
After your shoot, you will receive a same day preview via my Instagram stories. Your full online gallery will be ready in approximately 3 weeks after your session.
From your online gallery link, you will choose your digital package and prints. Once your print orders are placed, they will take approximately 2-6 weeks to produce.
When your prints arrive, we organise a time for you to take your prints to their forever home then you can enjoy the beautiful prints you have created and relive this special time over and over again.
It is recommended that you book your session when you are in your second trimester. While last minute sessions do become available, they cannot be guaranteed.

Frequently asked questions
01
When should I book my session?
Bookings are best done when you are in your second trimester. One less thing to tick off your to do list and there are better chances for availability. I have limited sessions in a month and give priority to our clients who have pre booked.
03
What should we wear? What do we need to bring?
All my clients have access to my client wardrobe for mum and kids so if you like something there you are sorted.
All you need is your baby bag. The studio is equipped with newborn nappies and wipes, bottled water to keep you hydrated and a cosy chill area for you and your family to relax.
02
My baby is here, can I still get a booking?
My weeks are never the same since babies are unpredictable so I may have a spot for you.
Please give me a call and we can chat about your options.
04
Do you do in home sessions?
I am a natural light photographer so if your home gets good, soft natural light then I am happy to do your session there.
Most clients come to me because all they need to do is pack their baby bag and come over, no need to clean the house for the shoot :)
