Documentary-style newborn photographer, Melbourne
Photos of you together will be the ones that matter most later on…
As a newborn photographer, I specialise in capturing the fleeting, precious early days of your baby’s life. I understand how quickly these moments pass and am here to help you press pause and savour them.
Whether your baby is just a few days old or a few months old, my aim is to create images of you together in the comfort of your home that show genuine, tender interactions that are true to the season you are in.
My documentary-style approach ensures relaxed, authentic images that highlight your family's everyday life, without the need for staged poses or forced smiles.

Ready to book a session? Here’s how it works
-
If you like the simple, relaxed documentary style of my newborn photography sessions, fill out my contact form (or click book now button below) and we can start planning your session.
-
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.
-
Before your session, 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 plan your session, making sure we capture the most important things to you.

My newborn photography sessions are relaxed and will feel like you are just hanging out, cuddling and looking after your baby. I come to you as your home is a big part of your story, we can easily work around nap times and we can authentically document how life was in this moment.
I love documenting all the things that go along with caring for a newborn; feeding, burping, nappy changes, snuggles on your chest, sibling helpers etc, as well as all the beautiful baby details; hands, feet, wispy baby hair. I’ll work around you and follow the baby’s schedule, so no need to feel “ready” or for the baby to be awake or asleep when I arrive, I’ll just start documenting wherever you are at. I’ll stay for however long your current cycle of a routine is (ie feeding/nappy change/playtime etc) as this will all change pretty quickly within the first year.
In addition to the documentary style images, we will get some portraits of you all together along the way too.

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 and slideshow, so you can download them all for safe keeping.
