Newborn & Maternity Photography

Photographing newborn babies within the first few days of being born is so special and truly magical. For beautiful sleepy images, newborns are best photographed when they are under 2 weeks of age, preferably between 6 and 10 days old. After they pass the 14-day mark, they become less sleepy and harder to pose.

The best time to book your session is during your pregnancy. We will schedule a tentative booking based on your due date. This date can be rescheduled if your baby arrives earlier or later than expected. Once your baby is born, please contact me as soon as you can, and we will arrange a suitable time and day for your session.

Newborn sessions can be held either in my home studio in Cranbourne South, or I'm happy to travel to your home. Sessions last 2-3 hours, allowing plenty of time for settling and feeding the baby. I offer a combination of posed newborn images and lifestyle portraits with parents and siblings. With over 12 years of experience as a professional newborn photographer, I am dedicated to ensuring that your baby is always completely safe and comfortable.

I provide all necessary props, such as backdrops, wraps, hats/headpieces, and have access to a client wardrobe. I like to use natural colors and textures. My main focus is to capture the beauty of your baby, ensuring that your images will remain forever timeless. All images are taken with natural light.

Maternity photo sessions are best scheduled around 31-36 weeks.

Family Photography

My photography is all about capturing the personality of your children and the connection within your family.

I work on location; in your favourite park, at the beach, in a country field or at your home. It might be a place that holds a special meaning for you and your family. If you can’t think of a place that will suit you, I am happy to suggest a range of locations throughout Melbourne and Mornington Peninsula that work well for family photo sessions.

The best time for an outdoor family photo session is often during the 'Golden Hour, that magical time just before sunset when the light is soft and enchanting. I recognise that keeping little ones up late can be tricky, so I'm also open to starting our session in the morning or at an earlier time.

Generally family sessions will last for about 1 – 1.5 hours. We will play, run around, explore, laugh and have fun doing things you enjoy as a family. My aim is to capture you and your loved ones in a natural and relaxed way, along with a few lightly posed portraits.

Cake Smash session

A cake smash portrait session is a delightful way to celebrate your baby's first birthday, capturing beautiful portraits that you'll cherish for years to come!

We'll start with family photos, including your baby, siblings, and parents, before moving on to the messy cake fun.

I provide a balloon garland in your chosen colors, and all you need to bring is your own cake. Additionally, I have adorable outfits available for your little one to wear during the session.

While most families opt to schedule the session as close to the birthdate as possible, I’m happy to accommodate sessions for babies aged 10-14 months for your convenience.
