Do you need your baby to be asleep for newborn photos?
Not at all!
While sleepy poses can create those beautifully peaceful portraits, some of my favourite moments happen when babies are awake, looking around and taking in the world.
Your session is always guided by your baby. We allow time for feeding, cuddles and settling, without rushing to achieve a particular pose. Whilst we aim for them to sleep to get easier detail shots, we don’t stress if they do not want to sleep. We all have FOMO sometimes!
I photograph their expressions and the way you hold them, creating a gallery that feels personal to your family.
Because your baby doesn’t need to be perfectly sleepy or settled for their story to be worth remembering.
Planning your newborn session? My Dandenong North studio is designed to offer a calm, comfortable experience for you and your little one. One where you can focus on your babies tiny face and details.
