Newborn Photography
Your Newborn Photography Experience
Newborn photography is a tender and heartfelt experience, capturing the beauty, wonder, and emotion of your baby’s earliest days. From tiny details and soft snuggles to the quiet connection between you and your little one, every session is about preserving those precious, fleeting moments that pass too quickly.
Each newborn session is calm, gentle, and unhurried, allowing plenty of time for feeding, comforting, and cuddling. There’s no rushing, no forcing poses, and no pressure; just quiet moments of love, warmth, and connection. Sessions can take place in the comfort of your home, outdoors, or at my cosy home studio in Seven Hills, NSW.
Whether you’re holding your newborn close, including siblings, or adding special keepsakes, every session reflects your unique story. The result is more than just a collection of beautiful images; it’s a timeless story of love, new beginnings, and the unforgettable early days of your baby’s life.
Newborn Photography FAQs
Where are sessions held?
Sessions can take place in a beautiful outdoor location, in the comfort of your own home, or at my home studio in Seven Hills, NSW. I also travel across Greater Sydney region, including the Blue Mountains, Central Coast; as well as Newcastle, Hunter Valley and South Coast regions; I am happy to go further when needed.
When is the best time for newborn photos?
The ideal time is within the first 7–21 days after birth, when babies are sleepy and curled. Older newborns can also be photographed beautifully, capturing their personality and expressions as they grow.
What should we wear?
Soft, neutral, pastels and timeless clothing works best. Outfits should feel comfortable and natural, keeping the focus on your baby and your connection. Special blankets, heirlooms, or simple wraps are also perfect. Avoid bold logos and busy patterns. I’m happy to provide styling guidance if needed. I have a range of wraps available if you are looking for a particular colour or style.
When should we book our session?
It’s best to book during your pregnancy; ideally in the second or early third trimester, so we can reserve a flexible session date for when your baby arrives.
How long does a newborn session take?
Sessions typically last 1.5–3 hours, allowing time for feeding, settling, and cuddles. The pace is entirely guided by your baby’s needs.
Can siblings or parents be included?
Yes! Capturing your family together is a beautiful part of every session. Parents, siblings, and even grandparents are welcome to join.
Can we include special items or keepsakes?
Absolutely! Personal touches such as a handmade blanket, heirloom outfit, or cherished toy make your session unique and meaningful.
What happens if my baby is unsettled?
No worries, every baby has their own rhythm. The session will flow around feeding, changing, and comforting, ensuring a calm and gentle experience for everyone.
