Let’s face it, getting dressed up for photos is the last thing we want after we give birth.
But let me tell you, these days are oh so fleeting, your baby will be growing & changing before your very eyes & believe me you’ll want these photos to remember just how small & sleepy they were!
My lifestyle sessions are captured in your home so you don’t even need to leave the house. You can even sneak away for a shower while I cuddle the baby & capture some closeups of all the squishy details.
I’m here for all of it-the snuggles, the feeding, the nappy changes.
My in home sessions are relaxed & no fuss. No need to spend ages trying to pose them, I’m happy to capture your precious new soul snuggled in your arms. They won’t settle? Let’s have a coffee and try again. There’s no time limit on these sessions, I’m here for as long as it takes.
We live in an age where the digital photo is easily accessible, no longer do we have to wait a week for our roll of film photos to come back to us but this isn’t necessarily a good thing.
How often do you look at the 1000’s of photos on your phone?
Do you have past photo sessions hidden in your drawer on USB drives?
I believe there is more value in printing your family photos & displaying them on your wall or in an album. You’ll wander past each day or look at them just before you turn out the light at night & you have something to pass down to your children as well.
Sitting in front of the computer scrolling through digital photos just doesn’t have the same effect as a physical album in your hand that you can flick through with the kids.
I have structured my pricing to make it easier for you to get. those. photos. printed.
I know that life gets busy especially when we’re juggling kids, work & all the things that come with that. I’m guilty of putting jobs like getting photos printed to the bottom of the pile & before you know years have passed & you still haven’t printed any photos.
Here’s where I can help…
I have a range of printed products you can choose from & if you have a space in your home & aren’t sure what to do I’m more than happy to come to your home & help you choose the best products for you.
I can also do custom sizes as well if you’re wanting something a bit different to what I have on offer here.

Generally speaking the first 3 weeks is a great time to get those newborn photos taken as they’re still in that snuggly, just arrived state & you’re most likely to get those lovely little sleepy shots that everyone adores. In saying that, a newborn shoot might be the last thing you’re thinking of in the hazy days after giving birth so if you find bubs is a little older by the time you feel ready for a session, don’t worry! You haven’t missed the boat it just means that your baby may be more alert & less sleepy so the images will be a little different! I’m quite partial to a wide eyed baby!
Let me tell you, I can find a spot in any house that is perfect for pictures. Newborn shoots really don’t take a lot of room, all I need is a good light source & maybe a bed or couch & I’m good to go. Whether you just tidy one room if you’d feel better with a room tidied, it’s really just the clutter like drink bottles, baby cloths, monitors that need putting away…you don’t have to run around tidying your whole house for me & you certainly don’t need a model home…not many of us have those!!
Your baby will most likely cry or become unsettled during a session & thats totally normal & fine!! I have no time limits on newborn sessions so if your bubs needs a feed its all good! My sessions don’t involve a lot of intense posing so if your little one doesn’t want to leave mums arms during the session thats all good, theres a lot of shots I can get while they’re asleep in your arms!
Just a simple bodysuit is fine, try and avoid bright colours as they tend to create a colour cast on the baby’s face. Some of my session may involve undressing baby just to a nappy & wrapping them loosely in a swaddle or blanket so I can capture some of the little rolls & details like hands & feet so try & have your home as warm as possible so baby doesn’t get too cold.
