NEWBORN SESSIONS – ALL THE DETAILS YOU NEED

WHY THE FIRST 2 WEEKS MATTER

The first 2 weeks of your baby’s life are the ideal window for capturing those natural, curled poses while they sleep peacefully.
During this time, babies still have a strong natural tone and tend to stay curled, just as they were in the womb. As they grow, they gradually begin to stretch out and lose this position, which is why these early days are so special to capture.
These moments pass quickly, and this is what makes the timing so important.

MISSED THE FIRST TWO WEEKS

Even if your baby is older, you can still have beautiful and professional images. While the curled newborn poses are best in the first days, older babies have their own charm - curiosity, smiles, tiny expressions, and meaningful family connections.
I guide the session with gentle expertise to ensure a calm, comfortable experience, so you can simply relax and enjoy your family while I take care of the rest.

WHAT WE CAPTURE

Every detail of your baby’s first days is carefully and gently captured - from tiny hands and soft yawns to delicate expressions, eyelashes, and all those little features you never want to forget.
I work in a calm, baby-led way, allowing plenty of time for feeding, settling, changing, and soothing your baby whenever needed. There’s no rush and no pressure - we simply follow your baby’s rhythm.
You can fully relax, knowing your baby is safe, comfortable, and beautifully captured just as they are.

WONDERING ABOUT PREPARATION

You don’t need to prepare anything - I provide all blankets and a curated selection of outfits for baby and mum, with gentle guidance throughout the session. Any bright room with natural light from a window is enough to create relaxed, intimate images - no big house required.

WHY HOME SESSIONS WORK BEST

Your home holds your real life - and that’s what makes these sessions so special.
Children behave more naturally, parents feel relaxed, and the images reflect your true connection, not a staged version of it.
No need to pack bags, rush, or adjust your schedule - everything happens where you already are.
And once we finish, you simply return to your normal day, without a long journey back home.

WORRIED YOUR APARTMENT ISN’T “ENOUGH”?

If you’re worried that your home isn’t “enough” - please don’t be.
I often hear from families who live in regular apartments. You don’t need a big house or a perfect space - just a window, a bit of natural light, and your family.
Many of the sessions in my portfolio were photographed in standard apartments, and they look absolutely beautiful.
Beautiful, meaningful images can be created anywhere your real life happens.

WHO CAN JOIN THE SESSION?

I always love including siblings in your session - they are such an important part of your story.
If grandparents are around, I’m more than happy to capture beautiful moments with them as well.

And of course, your furry family members are always welcome to join if you’d like.

DO I HAVE TO PAY THE FULL AMOUNT NOW?

To secure your spot, a $100 retainer is required at the time of booking.
The remaining balance is only due on the day of your session, so there’s no need to pay the full amount upfront.
This gives you time to plan comfortably, without pressure or financial stress, while still securing your preferred date.

SAFETY

Your baby’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I am fully vaccinated against whooping cough, and handle your baby with gentle, careful expertise.
I follow strict hygiene standards, including cleaning all blankets and outfits after every session.

I have also worked with babies who were born early and require extra care. I understand exactly what that feels like, as I am a mother of twins who were born significantly premature.

If you let me know in advance, I can also wear a mask during your session to give you extra peace of mind.

This way, you can completely relax and enjoy the session, knowing that every precaution is taken to keep your newborn safe, comfortable, and happy.

HOW TO BOOK

Pick your preferred day - let me know which date works best for you. I will send a simple easy-to-sign contract to review.
Secure your session - your date is officially reserved once the contract is signed and your $100 retainer is paid. This small deposit guarantees your spot and gives you peace of mind. Early booking is the best way to make sure everything is set and stress-free.

You can reach out any way that’s easiest for you:
Email me at [email protected]
Call or text +61402107750,
or message me on any social media platform.

This clear and simple process lets you feel confident and know your session is fully secured, leaving you free to focus on what really matters without stress.

DELIVERY TIME

It depends on the plan you've chosen. I know how might be difficult to wait for your images and believe me, I'll do my best to share the photo gallery as soon as I can. In most cases, I share the first photos within a week after the photo shoot.
Most photos are ready within 2-3 weeks, and you get to choose your favourites from the full gallery, so you only keep the images you truly love.

PRIVACY

I take your privacy very seriously. None of your photos are ever shared publicly without your permission. This means you can fully relax during your session, confident that your images are safe and will only be shared if you choose. Your trust is my top priority, and I always respect your wishes.

CLOTHING/STYLING

Opt for clothing that reflects your personal style and makes you feel confident. For maternity and newborn sessions, I provide a curated selection of outfits for mums and babies, as well as cozy blankets for little ones. I also guide you on colour palettes and offer full styling advice, so your session looks effortlessly cohesive and beautiful. You’re never alone in planning - I help every step of the way.

WHAT IF I'M LATE FOR THE SHOOT?

For outdoor sessions. If you arrive late to the photo shot, the amount of time late may be deducted from the time allotted for the session. Sadly, I will not provide a refund or other compensation for the time deducted from the session due to the late arrival of the client.

CANCELATION POLICY

Seven days of advance written notice of cancellation or rescheduling of the photo shot is required. If the notice is within seven days before the shoot, there is no refund for the cancelled or rescheduled shoot. The deposit (retainer) you paid to book a shoot is not refundable at any time to fairly compensate the photographer for committing his/her time to provide the services and turning down other potential projects or clients.

WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE IS BAD WEATHER?

For outdoor sessions. Unfortunately, the weather might be so unpredictable. I use a range of weather apps to keep an eye on the weather before your photo session. But none of them can't guarantee a 100% correct weather forecast. If it’s forecast to be heavy rain or storm, we can simply reschedule (free of charge) the shoot. The day before your session, I’ll check the forecast again. If it’s scheduled to be light rain or cloudy, that’s usually fine to go ahead.
