Capturing your newborn baby is one of life's most precious gifts. Babies grow and change so quickly that the first few weeks certainly go in a blur. I'm here to capture all those little features you may forget - how tiny they are, the wispy baby hair, flaky skin and all the sweet details.
My style is best described as beautiful and timeless. I find beauty in the simplicity - no crazy colours or props, just your baby, naturally captured as they should be. My aim is for you to love your photos as much as the first day your saw them.
Newborn babies are best captured around 1-2 weeks old with days 10-14 being the best for sleepy beautiful images.
Sessions with me are lovely and relaxed with plenty of time for feeding, settling etc Generally these sessions take around 2-3 hours and also include family and sibling images at no extra charge.
Sessions are best booked whilist you are pregnant sometime after your 20 weeks scan. A tentative date is scheduled using your due date as a guide around the time your baby will be 10-14 days old. This date is only tentative and will be changed or confirmed once your baby has been safely born.
If your baby has already been born or older then the recommended age please contact me as soon as you can, depending on my schedule I may be able to fit you in or recommend another photographer who can.
If you have missed the newborn age babies older from 4 - 8+ weeks onwards are still gorgeous to capture. They do tend to be a little more alert but these sessions are still beautiful and we may even be able to capture some of those first smiles!
Being pregnant is such a beautiful time in a womens life and one that should be remembered. My maternity sessions are best taken anywhere between 30-37 weeks pregnant. Clients can choose to either have their sessions captured in the studio or outdoors at a local location.
My maternity sessions are very natural and timeless and I have a great deal of experience posing my clients in the most flattering angles. Including a maternity session with your newborn is a beautiful way to document your babies story.
Studio sessions are held year round in our natural light studio while outdoor sessions are generally held an hour before sunset (weather dependant - between the months of September to May only) Sessions generally take around 45 mins - 1 hour and are really relaxed and enjoyable. Partners and other children are also welcome.
Babies between the ages of 3-12 months are really adorable and one of my favourites to capture.
Full of smiles they tend to have alot of fun during their sessions as their personalities shine. My studio is perfect for this age with lovely linen backed chairs in neutral colours and a large comfortable bed makes the perfect backdrop.
Babies at any age can be captured but I find they are best once they can sit or almost sit but not crawl ( generally from 6 months onwards). Crawling babies are fine too - it just means a bit of exercise for mum and dad keeping up with them! For walking babies I suggest booking one of my outdoor family sessions.
With a few outfit changes these baby sessions take around 1 hour with family/sibling images also being taken on the day.
Sessions are available Monday through to Saturday with mid morning seeming to be the optimal time for babies at this age.
Family photography sessions with me are enjoyable and a heap of fun! Most are taken outdoors at a few beautiful locations around Melbourne but our studio is also available.
Outdoor sessions are scheduled around an hour before sunset to capture the most beautiful and pretty light as the sun sets. In the colder months sessions start around 3-4pm while in summer around 7-7:30pm is perfect. Sessions are weather dependant so sometimes rescheduling may occur.
Studio sessions are available year round.
Most sessions take 1-1.5 hours as we capture the love, the crazy and the sweetness of your family. These sessions are suitable for children from 6 months onwards and can include up to 4 children plus mum and dad.
