NATURALLY POSED, TIMELESS

NEWBORN

PHOTOGRAPHY

There is nothing quite like those precious first few days of holding and loving your newborn baby. That sweet newborn smell; those wrinkly little hands and feet; the sleepy cuddles. Pure joy and love paired with an overwhelming, unparalleled fatigue. You just created and birthed this beautiful, perfect little human. It’s surreal and, often, a blur as you adjust to life with your sweet bundle. These sessions are about capturing your newborn but also about capturing you as a family. To capture the love, tenderness and connection between you and your baby. A heirloom, to remind you of what they felt like to hold in your arms, that sweet surrender of newborn life. A timeless and treasured keepsake.

Why Families Choose Me

“Steph brought such a sense of calm into our chaotic newborn days. She didn’t just photograph our baby — she captured our hearts.”
– Emily, mum of two

As a NICU nurse and mum of two, I understand how vulnerable those early days can feel. You’re not just booking a photo session — you’re inviting someone into your most tender moments. I take that responsibility seriously.

I’ve designed my newborn experience to be as stress-free, safe, and supportive as possible — with room for feeding, changes, and cuddles whenever needed.

✨ A Special Kind of Experience

Here, you’ll find more than just beautiful photos.

You'll get:
✔️ A private, cosy studio space in the Shoalhaven (St Georges Basin)
✔️ Warm, baby-safe care from a mum and neonatal nurse
✔️ An easy, fully guided process — from styling to shoot
✔️ Space to slow down and just be with your baby
✔️ Honest, light-filled images that tell your story

This is an experience designed to be supportive, relaxed, and memorable for all the right reasons.

Because your memories deserve nothing less than the best.

I offer all-inclusive packages designed to take the stress out of choosing and ensure you receive everything you need to treasure your family’s special moments.

FAQs

  • Your newborn session will run anywhere between 1-3 hours, usually being all finished up in 2 hours. This is dependent on how settled your baby is - the session is entirely baby-led, which means we will pause as necessary to soothe, feed and change baby.

  • The best time to get in touch is during your second trimester. I only take on a limited number of newborn bookings each month, and sessions are held on weekends.

    When you're ready, I’ll send through a booking calendar where you can select your session date - I recommend choosing a weekend around 10–14 days after your due date, when babies are typically still sleepy, settled, and beautifully curled up.

    Of course, things don’t always go to plan - and that’s okay. Once your baby arrives, just send me a message and we’ll adjust the date if needed. I always keep a little space for flexibility, because real life doesn’t run on a schedule

  • Absolutely — this is a moment for the whole family. We’ll usually start with family and sibling photos (so little ones don’t have to stay long), then move into the solo newborn portraits. To maintain a calm and soothing space for baby, siblings are encouraged to stay nearby only when needed.

  • Think timeless and neutral — soft creams, whites, beige, or muted tones work beautifully. Once booked, I’ll send you a detailed Prep + Styling Guide to help you feel confident and ready.

    I also offer 15% off with Mama Rentals, a sustainable, express-hire service offering beautiful, photo-ready dresses for mums and outfit options for the whole family. It’s the perfect low-waste alternative to one-wear purchases. I also have a few dresses for mums in my client wardrobe.

  • While 5–21 days is ideal for that sleepy, curled-up newborn look, I absolutely still welcome older babies. Your session may just look a little more “awake” and a little more relaxed — often shifting to a more natural, lifestyle feel rather than fully posed. Every baby is different, and I’ll adapt to your little one’s rhythm.

  • Yes — I have a selection of soft, timeless wraps, blankets, and a few minimal props available in the studio. My style leans natural and baby-led, so everything I use is subtle and intentional, focusing on your baby, not the accessories.

  • Just yourselves, your baby, and the essentials — nappies, wipes, a change of clothes, a dummy (if you use one), and anything that might help settle your little one. You’re welcome to bring something sentimental (like a blanket or toy), but no need to overpack — I’ll send you a simple checklist before your session.

  • Absolutely no problem. Newborn sessions are completely baby-led — we pause for feeds, cuddles, changes, and resettling whenever needed. There’s never any rush, and your comfort always comes first. You’re welcome to breastfeed or bottle-feed in the studio — it’s a calm, private space designed with you in mind.

  • Yes — gently. I’ll guide you throughout the session so you never feel awkward or unsure. I use soft direction to help you feel natural and connected, not stiff or overly posed. You’ll be able to relax and just enjoy the moment — and that’s what shines through in the images.

  • Your final gallery will be delivered via private online link within 3 weeks of your session. It will include a curated set of beautifully edited images, ready to download and print. You'll also have the option to purchase prints, albums, or heirloom products if you wish.
