ROOM TO TAKE IT SLOWLY

Your baby.
Your new chapter.

I’m Elena, a newborn photographer based in Manly. I photograph these early days in your own home, using natural light and following your baby’s lead.

Your baby can be asleep or awake, with plenty of time for feeds and cuddles. There’s no strict age limit: the first three months work well, but we’ll choose a time when you feel ready.

Visiting families across the Northern Beaches, Eastern Suburbs, North Shore, Inner West and Sydney CBD.

Explore sessions & pricing ↗

01 · Let’s make a plan

Tell me your due date or how old your baby is. We’ll find a date that feels right, then a $250 deposit secures your session.

02 · Feel ready, be yourselves

I’ll send styling tips, preparation advice and a short questionnaire. We’ll chat through your ideas, then take the session at your baby’s pace.

03 · Your photographs, to keep

In 3–4 weeks, you’ll receive a private gallery of your photographs, ready to view and choose your favourites. Carefully edited, in colour and black & white.

Your welcome page includes preparation advice and a model release. Selected photographs are supplied as high-resolution files for printing and smaller files for sharing.

Additional retouching is available by quote. Prints and albums can be ordered straight from your gallery — they’re so gorgeous, they’re hard to resist.

A LITTLE LOVE FROM ANGELA

“We had maternity and newborn photos taken and absolutely love all our photos to capture such a special time. The sessions were super relaxed and comfortable, it just felt like a close friend taking our photos — nothing too staged or posed.”
