Calm, baby led newborn photography in the Macedon Ranges
The newborn stage is fleeting and emotional, and your photography experience should feel just as gentle as the moments you’re preserving.
My newborn sessions are calm, baby led and completely unhurried. I work at your baby’s pace, allowing time for feeds, settling and cuddles, so you never feel rushed or stressed.
Sessions are photographed in the comfort of your own home. I travel to you and bring everything needed for a studio styled newborn session, creating a calm, familiar environment where you and your baby can relax while I take care of the rest.

In-home newborn sessions
When welcoming a newborn, comfort and familiarity make all the difference. That’s why my newborn sessions are photographed in the comfort of your own home.
I travel to you and bring everything needed to create a studio styled newborn session, transforming a small area of your home into a calm, safe and beautifully styled space for your baby. All I need is a little room to set up my equipment, and I’ll take care of the rest.
This allows you to relax without the stress of travelling, packing bags or leaving the house during those early newborn weeks. Your home provides a familiar environment where your baby naturally settles and parents can feel completely at ease.
Styling your session
I bring a carefully curated collection of wraps, blankets, textures and simple props to every session. Each newborn session is styled in my signature neutral, timeless style so the focus remains on your baby and the connection within your family.
You don’t need to prepare outfits or props unless you’d like to include something personal. I’ll guide you through the entire process and take care of the styling on the day, making the experience relaxed, gentle and effortless.
Planning for your newborn session
Scheduling
Newborn sessions are best photographed within the first 2–3 weeks after birth, while babies are still sleepy and settle easily.
I recommend booking your session during pregnancy to ensure availability. Your due date is pencilled in, and once your baby arrives you’ll simply contact me within the first few days so we can lock in a suitable date and time for your in-home session.
Sessions are scheduled on weekdays and are kept relaxed and unhurried, allowing plenty of time for feeds, cuddles and settling.
Payment
A $150 deposit is required to secure your newborn session. This deposit comes off your chosen digital collection.
Payment for your chosen digital collection is due at the time of your session.
Once you’ve viewed your gallery, you’ll have the option to upgrade your collection if you’d like additional images. Any upgrades are purchased after gallery viewing and before final image delivery.
Flexible payment options are available. We also offer AFTERPAY!
What to prepare
Because I bring everything needed for a studio styled newborn session, there’s very little for you to organise.
All I need is:
A small clear space in front of a white wall (please advise if you don’t have a white wall available and ill bring a backdrop)
A comfortably warm room
Access to power for my equipment
I’ll take care of the rest, including wraps, blankets, props and styling.
Preparing for your newborn session
Before your session
Newborn sessions are held in the morning, when babies are naturally sleepiest. Your exact start time will be confirmed via email prior to your session.
Before I arrive, there’s nothing special you need to do to prepare your home. I’ll bring everything required for your session to create a studio-styled setup.
All I need is a small clear space in front of a white wall, such as a lounge room or a bedroom.
If possible, try to keep baby awake for a short period before the session so they’re ready for a good feed once I arrive.
During your session
Once I arrive, I’ll take care of setting up while you relax. We’ll start by feeding and settling baby, then move gently through the session at baby’s pace.
Sessions are unrushed and baby-led, allowing plenty of time for feeding, cuddles and settling. If siblings are included, I usually photograph family and sibling images first, then focus on baby for the remainder of the session.
You don’t need to entertain or assist unless you’d like to — my role is to guide you and make the experience as calm and stress-free as possible.
After your session
Within approximately one week, you’ll receive access to a private online gallery to view your images. At this stage, you’ll select your images based on the collection you’ve chosen.
You’ll also have the option to upgrade your collection or add additional images once you’ve viewed your gallery.
Your selected images are then professionally hand-edited, with final images delivered via digital download. Your gallery will also include access to professional print products should you wish to order prints or wall art.
