When I became a mum, I thought I’d be able to capture all those precious first moments myself. I had every intention of taking all the photos—after all, I’m a photographer! But when my little one arrived, I quickly realized how fast time flies, and how much I was just living in those moments. Before I knew it, I’d missed out on getting those perfect, timeless newborn photos I had imagined.

That’s why I understand the value of having a professional capture these fleeting days for you. I take a relaxed and patient approach to every session, making sure that you and your baby feel comfortable throughout the experience. Whether you choose to have the session in the comfort of your home or in a studio, I’ll guide you gently, capturing every tiny detail—from your baby’s little fingers and toes to the quiet moments you’ll never want to forget.

Trust me, I’ve been there, and I know how easy it is to let time slip by. That’s why I’m here to make sure you don’t miss out on preserving these priceless memories.

Welcome to the Studio – Your Calm Little Corner in Healesville

Stepping into the studio feels like entering a quiet, sunlit retreat. Tucked away in the heart of Healesville, the space is warm, minimal and thoughtfully styled to feel both calming and homely. Soft natural light filters through sheer curtains, filling the room with a gentle glow that’s perfect for creating beautifully timeless photos.

You’ll find a rustic timber bench, earthy textures, and neutral tones throughout – everything designed to let the focus stay on you and your family. Whether it’s cuddles on the floor with your little one, quiet moments as a couple, or a playful cake smash, the space adapts to suit your session, always feeling relaxed and unhurried.

Outside the studio, Healesville offers a charming country town vibe with plenty of lovely spots to explore. After your session, you might enjoy a coffee or bite to eat at one of our many local cafes. It’s more than just a photo session – it’s a peaceful experience you can make a whole day of.

FAQ

When do I book?

It’s best to book your newborn photography session while you're still pregnant, ideally around the second trimester. This ensures you get your spot reserved, as I only take a limited number of sessions each month.

The ideal time for the newborn session itself is within the first two weeks of your baby’s life. This is when they’re still super sleepy and flexible, allowing for those sweet, curled-up poses that make newborn photos so special.

There is always wriggle room if baby decides to come early or late.

Who is involved?

Partners and children. Please let me know if you plan on inviting grandparents along.

Studio or In Home?

For your newborn session, you have the option of either Healesville studio session or an in-home session, depending on your preference.

Studio Session: If you prefer a quiet, controlled environment, my cozy studio is fully equipped with everything we need to create beautiful, timeless newborn portraits. It’s a calm, peaceful space designed to make your little one feel comfortable and relaxed.
In-Home Session: If you’d rather stay at home and capture those intimate, family moments, I can come to you. In-home sessions are perfect for creating a more personal and natural feel, with the comfort of your own space. We can incorporate the details of your home and family into the photos, making them even more meaningful. All home sessions incur a $100.00 travel fee.

No matter which option you choose, I’ll ensure everything goes smoothly, keeping your baby’s comfort as the top priority.

How long is the session?

My typical newborn session usually lasts 2 to 3 hours. This gives us plenty of time to capture a variety of shots while also allowing breaks for feeding, soothing, and diaper changes—because, let's face it, babies run on their own schedule! The relaxed pace ensures your little one stays calm and comfortable throughout the session, and gives us the flexibility to get those perfect moments.

How long does it take to receive the final edited photos?

Typically, you can expect to receive 10 sneak peek images in the next 48 hours. Expect the remainder of the full edited gallery within 3-4 weeks after the session. This gives me time to carefully select and edit each image, ensuring they’re polished and perfect.

How do I prepare for the session?

During the booking process, I will email you through my session guide that will help you prepare for your newborn session in both studio & in-home. Props, blankets and newborn outfits are supplied.
