Newborn Photography Sydney
It’s pure love, it’s messy,
it’s beautiful and it’s raw.
Your baby is here and life is changed forever more
Motherhood changes us like nothing else and now your heart knows a love you couldn’t possibly fathom before. I’ll capture this connection and the divine new soul of your family.
Don’t feel like getting out and about? I can come to you. Robe on, slippers, not out of bed? Perfect! I can capture the sweet new rhythm in your home, as there’s something special about being seen in your space.
Or perhaps you feel better out and about, fresh air on your face, wandering in your favourite spot? We can do that too. Everyone is different and there is no right way to capture your story. These sessions are slow, understanding of babies and everything that is required. We don’t watch the clock. We go with the flow of your family.
I have felt the uncertain, sleep-deprived, love-hazed days of babies. I’ll know where you’re at and gently support you through. Often, we’ll end up bonding over something you’re experiencing and we’ll leave the session feeling like we found a new friend. This is what I want from our sessions.
Us mums have got to stick together.
Newborn Sessions
We move slowly.
Relaxed.
We’ll chat through feeds and play with siblings and there’s no rush. No pressure. I don’t put the camera away if we have crying.. because hey, that’s life.
I find this means sessions run really smoothly and there’s no expectations. Don’t try to make your images look like someone else’s. I want to capture the unique family in front of me.
all sessions include:
A photo session where we don’t watch the clock, we just go with the flow. Typically, they are around two hours
At your home or an outdoor location which I will help you choose

Frequently Asked Questions
Still have questions? Take a look at my FAQ or reach out anytime.
-
I recommend securing your session during pregnancy, with the actual session usually taking place within the first few weeks after birth. This is such a fleeting little window, and having it booked ahead means one less thing to think about once your beautiful new arrival is here. The first few weeks typically offer those more sleepy sessions, where fingers and toes are ever so tiny. After that is still absolutely beautiful as we have more awake windows and life may have settled down a little. Every single stage is special, and deserves to be captured.
-
Then we slow down. There is absolutely no expectation for your baby to sleep through the session or behave according to a schedule. Feeding, cuddling, changing and settling are all part of it. I work around your baby rather than forcing the moment, because the beautiful in-between moments are often my favourites. My personal style is to photograph real life. If your baby is unsettled being placed down, we can still grab all the beautiful details with them in your arms.
-
Absolutely. Your baby is the reason we’re here, but this chapter belongs to you too. I’ll photograph the tiny details, your connection with your baby and the way you look at each other as a new family. These aren’t just photographs of your newborn, they’re photographs of the beginning of your family’s next chapter.
As for showing skin or no skin? It’s totally up to you. I’ll always encourage you to celebrate the magic of creating life and what your body is doing. These images are for YOU.
-
OF COURSE! This is my mostly commonly booked shoot where we combine beautiful family images, with dedicated maternity shots of you.
-
I’ll help you with this. I can arrive with options for mum and bub, to remove one thing off your list. I have curated some gorgeous neutral baby items so that they are timeless and can be used by all families. Clothing can make such a difference to how an image feels, so I’ll guide you towards colours, textures and silhouettes that work beautifully together without making everyone look overly matched. Think timeless, effortless and completely you.
Kind Words
So… shall we make some magic?
You’ve seen my work. You know the investment. And if you’ve made it this far, I’m guessing there’s a little part of you already imagining yourself in these photos.
This is your life, and it deserves to be photographed beautifully.
