Hello, I’m Leah

Melbourne newborn and family photographer, Leah of Born on a Wednesday

I document pregnancy, birth, motherhood and family life to make sure YOU exist in photographs WITH your children. For you and for your children in years to come.

If you’re looking for natural photography, invite me into your home, and I'll hold space for you to be able to capture meaningful moments of your life right now. Beautiful photos of simple everyday moments you share together will mean everything once they don't happen anymore, and your baby is onto the next phase.

I'm your girl if you'd like art made from your everyday life. I'll give you honest, tender and unposed photos that you will hold close to your heart always.

“If you’ve been wondering whether to take those professional photos for your pregnancy/newborn/baby milestone… this is your sign. DO IT. And Leah is the best person to help you with this!
Our photos turned out beautifully, and Leah was a dream to work with from start to finish. She made us feel very relaxed throughout the session, was incredible with our little ones, and captured lots of details that were important to us. Such a gem. I only wish I met her earlier in my parenting journey!”
- Aniya
“Leah has a unique talent for capturing genuine moments without you even noticing the camera, which we absolutely loved. The photoshoot was incredibly special, and Leah perfectly captured the essence of our family dynamic.“

Interested in booking a session? Here’s how it works

If you like the simple, relaxed documentary style of my sessions, fill out my contact form (or click book now button below) and I can let you know my availability.
To lock in a date for your session, I'll send you across an initial invoice to pay and contract to sign. Once you have paid and signed you will be all booked in. The balance of the invoice is due by the day of your session.
Next, I'll send you my client guide with further info on how to prepare as well as a questionnaire to fill out. This will help us plan your session, making sure we capture the most important things to you.
Time to slow down and enjoy some time with your family on the day of our session.
I'll come to you so the photos can be as easy and relaxed for you as possible. We will find some pretty spots around your home and may also venture into your garden.
After your session, I'll carefully hand edit your images in a mixture of colour and black and white. Within 30 days, I'll send you the link to your online gallery of images, so you can download them all for safekeeping and print them.
