A close up images of a newborn babies hand in black and white for a newborn photography session in Melbourne

NEWBORN

This will be a slow, comfortable session. If bubs needs to take a minute, then they’ll get it. I’m not in any rush to get out the door. While your newest little one will be the star of the show, you, your other half and kids will play a big part in these photos too. Think of it as the first family photos with your newborn.

This session is best held when bubs are between 7-14 days old. If you want to do a fresh 48-hour session, I’d be up for that too!

Capturing Your Newborn in the Comfort of Your Melbourne Home

Newborn photography is all about gentle, authentic moments - capturing your baby in those first precious days, surrounded by the people who love them most. Every session is carefully paced to suit your baby’s needs, allowing feeding, cuddles, and quiet breaks as required. The result is a collection of timeless images that reflect your family’s connection and the personality of your little one.

In-home sessions are especially wonderful for newborns because your baby feels safe and comfortable in their own space. The familiarity of your home allows for natural lighting, soft textures, and a calm atmosphere - all of which help your baby relax and allow me to capture those small, fleeting details: tiny toes, curled hands, soft yawns, and sleepy expressions. These are the images that will bring you back to these early days for years to come.

  • Choosing an in-home session in Melbourne offers multiple benefits:

    • Comfort for your baby: No car rides or new environments to stress your newborn.

    • Family involvement: You, your partner, and siblings can all be part of the session naturally.

    • Authenticity: Your home’s details, décor, and atmosphere make your photos truly personal.

    • Ease and convenience: Everything happens where you live - no need to pack up a newborn for a studio visit.

    By working in your home, I can focus on the connections between your family members, not just the baby. From gentle cuddles on the sofa to tender moments shared between siblings, these sessions are designed to capture real life at its most beautiful.

  • My sessions are slow, relaxed, and fully guided by your baby’s cues. I take the time to ensure everyone feels comfortable, from the tiniest newborn to older siblings. While your newest little one is the star of the show, parents and siblings play a big role in creating images that feel connected and heart-led.

    A typical session might include:

    • Close-up details of your newborn’s hands, feet, and tiny features

    • Gentle posed or semi-posed images, always prioritising safety

    • Family portraits with parents and siblings

    • Lifestyle-style shots in natural light, capturing authentic moments

    Because newborns are unpredictable, I always follow their pace, allowing time for feeding, cuddling, and settling as needed. This ensures the session is calm, safe, and enjoyable for everyone.

  • The ideal window for a newborn session is between 7–14 days old, as this is when babies are generally sleepier, curl naturally, and are easiest to pose safely. If you’re hoping for a “fresh 48-hour” session, I’m flexible and happy to work with very new babies - the key is planning ahead so we can book a session that works around your baby’s arrival.

    Booking early - ideally while you’re still pregnant - ensures we can secure your preferred dates and create a relaxed, stress-free experience for your family. Even if your baby has already arrived, I’ll do my best to find a time that suits your schedule and your newborn’s needs.

    • Feed your baby beforehand to help them settle.

    • Keep your home warm and cozy, especially if you’ll be capturing naked or wrapped poses.

    • Prepare siblings by explaining what will happen in a fun, simple way so they feel included.

    • Have favourite props or blankets ready if you want to include them - otherwise, I’ll bring safe, soft wraps and accessories.

    These little preparations make a big difference in ensuring the session is calm, enjoyable, and full of meaningful moments.

  • Newborn days are fleeting - they pass so quickly, and yet these are the moments you’ll cherish forever. These images won’t just remind you what your baby looked like; they’ll bring back how it felt to hold them, the love in your family, and the joy of those first days together.

    By choosing an in-home newborn session in Melbourne, you’re investing in images that capture emotion, personality, and the little details that make your family unique. Every session is designed to be authentic, timeless, and completely tailored to your baby and family.
