Soooo, we need to talk…

Do you want photos like this?
Do you think you’ll be too stiff and too awkward?
Do you think Melbourne weather could possibly not be on your side on your session day?
Do you know that you have absolutely no idea how to pose?
And do you just have no idea what to wear and where to actually go?

If you answered yes to all of these, you’re in the right place. All the mums I photograph feel the same way and you’re here admiring photos of them, wishing for the same results and haven’t booked me in yet 😜

I think you need to DM me your due date and we’ll go from there. I’ve got you 🤎

Good morning and hello weekend ✨

Did you know that the best time to book in your newborn photos is actually BEFORE they are born? Sounds a little early but hear me out.

Newborn sessions are ideally done within their first two weeks.

Say baby has arrived, you spend 2-4 days in hospital, then you get home and start to settle in. Thats already about a week gone by.

You’re sleep deprived and suddenly start thinking about newborn photos!! After a few enquiries you start to feel a bit down, realising that everyone is booked out within the next 7 days 😳

When you book it in before baby arrives (anytime during your second trimester) it gives you that time to search for the right photographer (hopefully me 💁🏽‍♀️) and be organised waaay before your baby is here.

It’s a much better experience for you overall, than it being rushed within a week when you’re half asleep.

Sooo, if you’re in your second trimester let me know! DM me or reach out via the link in my bio. Bookings are currently open for 2026 and all 2027 due dates.

I’d love to welcome you to the Narre Warren studio 🤎

My personal favourite is the one for the dads 😅

For families with older kids:
- “Tell me who has the smelliest feet’ From here, they somehow start talking about farts but hey it gets a laugh!
- Play ‘would you rather’ with some really odd options. This gets a laugh out of the adults too.
- ‘Once we’re finished I’m coming to get Maccas with you all’
- “I want to hear your best fake laugh, one at a time starting with mum’ This then turns into real laughs.

For toddlers:
- ‘Do your biggest jump everrr!’ And then ‘Ohhh my goodness you jumped higher than that tree’ then keep going, ...higher than that building/as high as the clouds/into space..!
- If toddlers aren’t feeling it anymore. ‘OH MY GOODNESS look at this!’ And get them to pickup whatever it is and put it on mums shoulder. Sometimes it’s a sticker, pebbles or if we’re lucky it’s a flower. But it gets them close to mum AND I edit it out later.
- ‘Please do your best ‘not smiling face’ and make it reeeeally good!’

For the dads:
- In your sexiest voice, whisper in your wife’s ear all the cereals you can think of until I say stop’
- ‘Walk together like you’re drunk in love, give her a little bump on the hip’
- Staring contest while saying funny words to each other and get the other person to break the stare first.

Which one would work with your family?

Big Studio Lights:
I’ve made the studio to feel like you’re right at home and I help to really give you that same level of comfort.

Forced Smiles:
The way I guide and prompt you through your session creates real reactions, smiles and affection. That’s the closeness and connection that you see and feel in my work.

A strict timeline:
There’s definitely a workflow however I have built extra time into it to allow for feeds, snack breaks, nappy changes or to catch your toddler who has decided that they have other important plans and has run off. There’s more than enough time set aside for you and all the unplanned bits.

A ‘one chance only’ mentality:
If something isn’t working, we just pivot. Your child may need a break, your newborn may need some extra comfort, you may need to just stretch it all out. These things won’t ruin your session, we just reset and come back.

You want the photos of your children while their faces still look like this.

While their hands are still tiny and their baby hairs curl perfectly.

You want the ones of their cheeky smiles with missing teeth as they get older. The way their hugs change from squeezing your neck to wrapping their little arms around your body.

You want the chaos that IS your normal right now.

Maybe you’re thinking it’ll be too much hassle getting out of the house when you’re two weeks postpartum for newborn photos.

Maybe you’re thinking your toddler is going to be an absolute nightmare during a photoshoot.

Or maybe you’re thinking you need to lose the baby weight first. That you’ll feel more comfortable, more confident, more photogenic when your body looks a little different.

But THIS is the moment you’re going to want to remember.

You know how they say a picture tells a thousand words?

It’s so true.

I didn’t truly understand that until I had children.

I look at photos and understand memories differently now. I can look at one photograph and suddenly remember so much more than what is actually in the frame.

And that’s what I want for you.

When you look back at your newborn photos, I want you to remember the love and the beauty that existed amongst all the hard bits too.

Even though you were sleep deprived.

Covered in milk-stained clothes.

Spending hours attached to a breast pump.

Not showered for three days.

Living in a messy bun most weeks.

I want you to see yourself in that season and remember how beautiful it was too.

These are the photos you’ll treasure.

The ones where you got to put on clothes that made you feel good. Where you felt beautiful and confident during a time when you might not have felt much like yourself at all.

Because you were learning how to parent.

Learning your baby.

Learning this new version of you.

And years from now, you won’t care that the house wasn’t perfect or that you hadn’t lost the baby weight.

You’ll see the tiny hands.

The little curls.

The way they fit into your arms.

And most importantly, you’ll see just how much love was there.

You get to see all of that love in the most beautiful way
