Let's spend a few hours together capturing this special time.

ALL ABOUT YOUR
newborn
SESSION
Welcoming a new baby into your family is one of life's most precious moments.
It's a journey that is so fleeting - one moment they are so tiny and small and the next they have grown into independent little people.
While I may not be able to keep your baby small enough to hold in your arms forever, I can capture them so you can relive these beautiful days for years to come.
MY WORK IS BEST DESCRIBED AS
TIMELESS
light-filled
NATURAL

Calm and relaxed and being a mother myself, let's spend a few hours together in the comfort of your own home and capture this beautiful time.
Well known for my signature classic style, these images will become some of your favourites and treasured for a lifetime.
I can't wait to meet you and your gorgeous family soon,

We were so happy with our experience when Sophie was a newborn, so when we had our second baby on the way there was never any doubt that we wanted to return again for Noah’s photos.
Once again you’ve done an incredible job and captured beautiful images that will become such precious memories of this very special time in our lives. We are so grateful and will treasure them forever.

Frequently asked questions
Where do sessions take place?
Sessions take place in the comfort and convenience of your own home within metro Melbourne. I generally will use spaces in your home such as the main bedroom and living spaces that have the best natural light.
WHAT IS THE BEST AGE FOR NEWBORN PHOTOS?
The best age for sleepy newborn photos would have to be around 2-3 weeks of age. Babies at this age are still very sleepy and easy to handle and pose without waking.
In saying that, I believe babies are beautiful no matter what their age, so please contact me to book your session if you feel having it scheduled later would suit best. Babies between 1-3+ months are gorgeous or one of my favourite ages would have to be between 6-9 mths - once they can sit but not quite crawl is adorable!
My BABY HAS ALREADY BEEN BORN, CAN YOU FIT US IN?
HOW DO I BOOK?
If your baby has already been born or you feel having your session scheduled once your baby is a little older is best, just contact me as soon as you can as I may be able to fit you in depending on my schedule or suggest another reputable photographer.
It’s easy - just fill out my enquiry form below and I will be in touch.
For newborn sessions we use you due date as a guide to make a tentative session date in my schedule. This is then changed to suit once your baby arrives. If your baby has already arrived, just contact me for my available dates.
The deposit of $250 is the only payment requirement upon booking - this gets us started and confirms your date. The balance of your collection is due a few days prior to your session.
To ensure I offer the best service to my clients a limit of only 4-6 bookings per month applies, so please try and book your session as soon as possible.
ARE SIBLING AND FAMILY PHOTOS inCLUDED?
Absolutely! Sibling and parent photos are included in all my sessions along with your sweet fur babies!.
HOW DO WE PREPARE and what should we wear?
Upon booking clients will receive a detailed welcome guide. Filled with tips and advice you will feel ready and confident for your session.
How long do sessions take?
My in home newborn sessions generally take 1-2 hours with time allocated for feeding and settling.
I'm ConCERNED OUR HOME IS NOT PHOTOGENIC?
Although your home doesn't have to be necessarily 'magazine worthy' it is important that the spaces we shoot in are neat/clutter free, have lots of beautiful natural light and suit my style of photography. Your home will feature heavily in your images so if your not sure please just reach out and I can advise.
