Thinking about newborn photos, but not sure when or how to book?
Here’s a gentle guide to why pre-booking your baby’s photo session is easier than you think—and how we make it work around your real life, not the other way around.
You never really know the last time your baby will fit in your arms just so. Storytelling photography doesn’t freeze time—but it does give you a way to remember what life felt like in the moment. Here’s why that matters, and why so many families are choosing to document the everyday, not just the milestones.
We believe in keeping newborn photography simple, natural, and timeless. Instead of using props, we focus on soft textures and personal touches that tell your family’s unique story. Whether you prefer a minimalistic session or want to include meaningful items, we’ll create something truly special together. Read more about our approach!
For years, I was an outdoor, natural light photographer—until I started working with newborns. That’s when I realised something crucial: natural light is unpredictable, and newborn photography demands control, consistency, and comfort. Now, I create studio-quality newborn portraits inside your home, with professional lighting designed for soft, timeless images. Here’s why I made the switch—and why in-home photography is the best choice for newborns.
Heard the rumour that flash photography can harm a newborn’s eyes? Let’s set the record straight. With over 60 years of combined experience and tens of thousands of newborns photographed safely, we explain the truth behind the myths and why professional studio lighting is completely safe for your baby.
We know that life with a newborn doesn’t always go to plan! That’s why we’ve built flexibility into our newborn photography scheduling, ensuring you won’t miss out on capturing those precious early moments. If you need to reschedule your pre-booked newborn session, here’s how our team works with you to find the best alternative date—without the stress.
Wondering what to wear for your maternity session? Here’s a warm, story-led guide for choosing outfits that feel like you, with a focus on comfort, flow, and telling your story—beautifully, naturally, at home.
Is maternity photography right for you? At 30 weeks along, with your bump at its best, you might be wondering whether to book a shoot. If traditional photography feels too formal or staged, an in-home session offers a relaxed, natural alternative—capturing genuine moments right in your own space. Find out why timing, comfort, and simplicity matter, and discover if this approach suits your family’s story.
RAW images aren’t what you think they are. They’re unfinished, unprocessed files that require expertise to refine. Just like a musician wouldn’t release raw vocal tracks or a filmmaker wouldn’t hand over unedited footage, photographers don’t sell RAW files—because they aren’t the final product. Here’s why.

Back in February 2022 we visited a family over in the south-west of Sydney to meet their little baby girl Valentina.
We had been to see this family before for an in-home newborn photography session when their first-born Donatello arrived; how he has changed in just 2 years!
The idea of taking the baby out seems a scary prospect before they have had their 6-week vaccination and during cold and flu season, it is terrifying.
