The few weeks following a baby’s birth are so incredibly special – capturing your newborn in a beautiful photo is something you’ll love forever, especially when your baby changes so much from one day to the next at this stage.

My newborn sessions are super relaxed, as are the photos. I don’t do studio posed baby pictures, instead work with natural daylight in your own home, led by your baby, who can be asleep or awake - we go with the flow.

My style is fluid and natural, focusing on those distinctive newborn moments.

I recommend booking your session ahead with your due date so I can keep some time free a couple of weeks before and after your due date. Two weeks after the birth works well, however we can do your session within a few weeks or whenever you’re ready.

We shoot at your home at a time to suit you and your family.

Booking Process

Booking
We’ll first lock in a date and time for your session. Once that’s confirmed, I’ll email you a booking request. A $250 deposit secures your date.

Before the shoot
Once you’re fully booked, you’ll get access to my online welcome page with styling tips (yes, what to wear), prep advice, a questionnaire, and a model release.
I’ll also be in touch to chat through ideas, locations, and what you want from your photos.

Editing & retouching
Every selected image is carefully edited and delivered in both colour and black & white. I focus on natural tones and a cohesive look.
Extra retouching (small fixes, object removal, skin tweaks) can be added if you want, just ask for a quote.

Gallery delivery
Within 3–4 weeks, you’ll get a private online gallery to view, and select your images. You’ll receive high-res files for printing and low-res for sharing- because your photos deserve more than living forever in your camera roll.

Prints
You can order prints, albums and other products straight from your gallery. I’ve tested many printers and only work with the best labs, so you’re getting beautiful, true-to-colour prints that are made to last. No pressure, no hard sell, just options if you want them.
