So, you’re having a baby? Congratulations! It’s such a special time in your life and those first few weeks are a blur of sleepless nights, nappy changes, and never-ending feeds.
The first two weeks of your Newborn’s life are the best time for photos. This Is When Your Baby Is Sleepiest So Posing Baby In Those Curly Positions Is Much Easier.
And although it might feel like a huge mission to leave the house with a new baby, your newborn photos will be a treasured reminder of these early days with your baby.
My Newborn Photography Studio is located in Wentworth Falls in the Blue Mountains in Western Sydney. The studio is warm, cosy and a relaxed home away from home. So you can relax, have a nap, and let me work my magic with your beautiful baby.

Newborn Photography Age
1-2 Weeks Old
The ideal time for a newborn photography session is within the first two weeks. During this time, babies are at their sleepiest, which usually allows for those sweet, posed photos in adorable little outfits. Although the newborn stage technically lasts up to 7 weeks, the further we get from that two-week mark, the less likely it is to capture those curled-up, unwrapped poses. Of course, every baby is unique—some settle perfectly for posed photos even at 5 weeks, while others have their own ideas right from the start!
If your baby is older than 7 weeks old, you haven’t missed out! Milestone/Sitter Sessions are a perfect way to capture your baby’s milestone and journey through life. See more information here!

My approach to Newborn photography
Because I understand the chaos your small little human brings to your world, I want your newborn session to be relaxed and flexible.
All newborn sessions are planned around my families.
Because I know once your baby arrives, life becomes a chaotic, hectic, bubble of baby love.
So if you’re running late for your newborn photos, don’t panic. It happens all the time.
Just send me a message and let me know you’re running late.
My full newborn sessions times are flexible, and I allow a 30 minute window of time for you to arrive because as we all know, messy baby accidents happen.
About Your Newborn Session
My newborn photography studio is located in western Sydney 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.
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 Western Sydney studio is cleaned and all props sanitised before your baby’s photography session.
FAQ About Newborn Photoshoots
Where is your Newborn Photography Studio located?
The studio is in Wentworth Falls, Blue Mountains.
How far in advance do I need to book my Newborn Photoshoot?
Book at the beginning of your third trimester. Then you have it all locked in and don’t need to panic at the last minute. Preparation is key!
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.
What is the best time to do a Newborn Photoshoot?
Within the first 14 days of babies life. That is when they are sleepiest and curliest!
What should I bring to my Newborn Photoshoot?
Nappies, bottles with pumped milk or formula (if possible). A pacifier! Even if your baby hates it OR you don’t want them to have one…you can throw it away after the session!
Can we bring sentimental items to be included?
Absolutely! I love LOVE including sentimental items within sessions 🙂
How many set ups are included?
This is a curly one. Kind of a “how long is a piece of string” question.
Most shoots include 3 different “looks. This can be different outfits or different backdrops. It depends on your session and the plan we have made. All of this is planned out via your questionnaire, emails and your pre session call.
How long does my Newborn Photoshoot take?
1 or 2 hours depending on session booked.
What if my baby is sick on the day of the shoot?
Touch base with us ASAP and we will reschedule your session.
Can older babies have a newborn session?
Sometimes it’s just not possible for parents to make it to my Western Sydney 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.
Learn more here.
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.
Do you do weekends?
Unfortunately not for Newborn Sessions as very few Saturdays are available through out the year and it gets difficult when we have such a tiny time frame (2-4 weeks old) to book your baby in.
