My Approach to Newborn Sessions

Full support with what to wear — including styling advice for you, your partner, and your children
Access to my client wardrobe, with the option to try pieces on in studio or view the full wardrobe online
No rescheduling fees for newborn sessions due to birth timing or illness — I understand things don’t always go to plan

I provide everything for your baby — including outfits, wraps, and blankets
Gentle, safe posing with your baby’s comfort and wellbeing always prioritised
A no-judgment, relaxed space where you can just enjoy the moment
I don’t wear perfume during sessions, fully vaccinated and I’m more than happy to wear a mask if that helps you feel more comfortable

Your final, professionally edited images delivered within 2 weeks of making your selection
Skin retouching and object removal included in every final image

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I book my newborn session?
It’s best to book in your second trimester to secure your spot. I only take a limited number of newborn sessions each month to allow flexibility around due dates.
Do you offer a discount when booking newborn & maternity sessions?
No discount, but I do include a few extra images when you book both sessions together — my little way of saying thank you!
What if my baby comes early or late?
No stress at all! Once your baby arrives, just let me know and we’ll finalise your session date. I leave room in my schedule to accommodate early or late arrivals.
How old should my baby be for the session?
Newborn sessions are ideally held when your baby is between 7–14 days old, as they are still very sleepy and naturally curled, allowing for those beautiful, snuggly poses.
I happily photograph babies up to 3 months of age. The main difference is that older babies tend to be more alert and less flexible as they begin to stretch out of that newborn curl. Some poses may not be possible, however capturing your baby at any early stage is truly special and always results in beautiful, timeless images.
Where will the session take place?
Depending on your package, you can choose between a relaxed studio session, outdoor or an in-home lifestyle session. I’ll guide you through both options to find the perfect fit for your family. Please note: a travel fee applies for in-home newborn sessions and for outdoor locations more than 30 minutes from my home studio.
Can I upgrade to a full gallery and receive all my images ?
Only clients who book the Forever Treasured package will have the exclusive option to upgrade to their full gallery after viewing.
(For other packages, additional images can still be purchased individually or you can upgrade to package 3)
Gallery Delivery time frame?
There is a 3 week turn around on your gallery delivery from the day of the shoot
Payment Options ?
Bank transfer is my preferred payment method — it’s simple, secure, and has no extra fees.
I also offer the option to pay by credit or debit card through Stripe for your convenience. Please note, card payments incur a 1.75% + $0.30 processing fee, which is added automatically at checkout. This fee goes directly to the payment processor.
 
The Journey Collection
 
The perfect way to capture both the beauty of pregnancy and those first precious moments with your newborn. This bundle includes a maternity session and a newborn session, giving you a complete story to look back on. Designed to make the process simple and seamless, with styling and guidance included for both sessions. This package includes extra images for both sessions — offering even greater value compared to booking them separately, with a total package valued at $1,080 (saving $80 overall).
Please note: The ‘Journey’ package is not a $1000 upfront payment. A $200 deposit secures your booking for both dates, and then the remaining balance is split — the maternity session fee is due the day before your maternity shoot, and the newborn session fee is due the day before your newborn shoot.
