Newborn Photography

When is the best time for Newborn Photography in Sydney?

Time flies once your new baby arrives. So, it’s best to have your baby’s newborn photos taken in the first 2 weeks of their arrival. 

Those early weeks are when your baby is sleepiest and the tiniest they’ll ever be. So, it’s important to document all their tiny features before they change.

When to book your Newborn Photography in Sydney

The best time to book in for your baby’s newborn photography is during your third trimester. This ensures I keep some dates available just for you. 

However, there’s a lot to organise when you’re pregnant so if you’ve forgotten to book your newborn session please don’t panic.

I usually have availability in my Western Sydney studio for last-minute newborn photography sessions. 

During your baby’s session

My newborn photography studio is located in the Blue Mountains and is a calm and soothing environment.

In fact, parents relax so much during a session they often fall asleep.

The studio is heated to ensure your baby is comfortable and relaxed, but it can get warm. So, make sure you dress appropriately so you don’t overheat.

If your baby is hungry, we’ll stop so you can feed them. If your baby needs a cuddle or a burp, we’ll wait until your baby is settled again.

Your new baby is the star of the shoot so we’ll stop whenever needed.

I love to include sentimental items to personalise the session to your family. A VERY popular item that clients love to bring are their babies first cuddly toy. Often these are Jelly Cat brand – check them out here.

What if my baby is too unsettled for photos?

This is a common concern for parents as a baby’s temperament can change overnight.

But please don’t worry.

If your baby is unsettled, cranky, or just doesn’t want to play, we’ll simply reschedule. This happens very rarely. Normally we can get a gallery of wrapped images even with a grumpy bubba 🙂

Because capturing these moments for you and your baby are just as important to me.

I want all my families to have beautiful newborn photos to treasure in years to come.

Can older babies have newborn  session?

Sometimes it’s just not possible for parents to make it to my studio for newborn photos.

But this doesn’t mean you have to miss out on baby photos. 

I offer baby photography and many parents choose to have these photos around significant milestones.

For instance, it could be when your baby starts smiling or rolling over. Or even when your baby starts sitting on their own. 

All these moments are special and worth documenting with a photography session.

Can siblings and parents have photos too?

Absolutely. If your newborn has siblings, they’re most welcome to join your baby’s session. All siblings and family photos are done at the beginning of your newborn photography session.

This allows older kids to leave for kindy or with a grandparent while you sit back and relax.

However, if this is your first baby, I’ll begin the session with your newborn baby and finish with the parents’ photos.

Newborn posing, safety, training, and experience

As a professional newborn photographer, I’ve undergone training in newborn posing and the safe handling of babies.

The safety of your precious newborn is of the utmost importance.

From the moment I start wrapping and handling your baby, I’m monitoring their movements and the poses that are comfortable for them.

I’m fully vaccinated and ensure my studio is cleaned and all props sanitised before your baby’s photography session.

Where in Sydney is the newborn studio?

The studio is in Wentworth Falls, Blue Mountains.
