There’s something so magical about photographing a family in the place where they feel most at home. 🤍

Not somewhere grand or picture-perfect, but here…. in their safe place, their happy place, surrounded by the little things that make this house theirs.

Three little personalities, one beautiful mumma, and a whole lot of love woven into the everyday moments… the cuddles, the laughter, the wild little energy, the quiet in-between moments that might seem ordinary now, but one day will be the memories they hold closest.

Because childhood moves so quickly….

One day, these tiny hands will be bigger. Those little voices will change. The children who fit so perfectly into Mum’s arms will be grown and finding their own way in the world.

But these photographs will remember….

They’ll remember how home felt.

How Mum’s arms felt.

How it sounded when everyone laughed.

How happy they were, simply being together.

The most beautiful memories aren’t always made on big adventures. Sometimes they’re made barefoot in the hallway, curled up on the couch, cooking and dancing in the kitchen, or wrapped up in a mother’s arms.

Home is where their story is unfolding.

And what a beautiful story it is. ✨

Yesterday, I had to say goodbye to my beautiful girl, Sasha. 🤍🐶

Fourteen years ago, Pete bought me a puppy for my birthday. The breeder had named her Emma, but she didn’t take to any of the potential buyers… until me.
From the moment I laid eyes on her, she chose me, our names the same, and somehow, I knew it was meant to be…

She became my beautiful girl Sasha.

My best friend. My shadow. My constant.

We grew up together. She was there when I had my babies, quietly beside me through every night feed, every nappy change and every midnight cry. She was there through the highs and the lows, through Baxters cancer treatment, through losing my mum, through the days that broke me and the days that made me laugh again.

She was my person in this house full of boys 🥹 and I was hers…

There was something about her that was so soft and thoughtful. An energy so pure. So gentle. So incredibly loyal. She never needed words to know when I needed her. Somehow, she always just knew….

She would simply be there, solid and strong, carrying the weight of my world alongside me.

For fourteen years, her love never wavered…. What a privilege…

And yesterday, I had to make the hardest decision….. to set her free again.

Thank you, my Sashie girl, for fighting so hard. For trying to stay here just for me, even when your body was telling you it was time. I will never forget looking into your eyes as you went to sleep, feeling you press your head into mine one last time….

That moment will stay with me forever 🫶🏻🪽

I hope you knew, every single day, just how deeply you were loved. I hope you knew that you were never “just a dog.” You were family. You were home. You were my constant through every storm.

You carried me through some of the hardest years of my life, and now I have to learn how to carry on without you.

My heart feels impossibly empty.

Fourteen years was never going to be enough.

Thank you for the love of a lifetime, Sashie. Thank you for choosing me all those years ago. I will treasure you, miss you and love you for the rest of my life.

I will never forget a love like yours.

Run free, my beautiful girl…

Until we meet again�

Post photoshoot press conference with these wonderful little souls 🫶🏻

There’s something about asking young children the big questions that brings you right back down to earth…

I asked these little ones questions as though they were at a press conference, and their answers were honest, hilarious, unexpected and completely unfiltered.

Children have a beautiful way of cutting through all the noise and reminding us what really matters.

Moments like these remind me why I do what I do, to pause, listen, capture their personalities, and preserve the little people as they are right now, before they grow into who they’ll become.

Because sometimes the most profound answers come from the smallest people…

Hey all,

Emma here from Emma Freney Photography

I’m a Natural Newborn and Family Photographic storyteller based in Western Sydney and the Lower Blue Mountains, and my purpose as a photographer is to capture more than just beautiful photos, I want to preserve the feeling of this season of your life.

The love that fills your home. The tiny hands wrapped around your finger.
The sleepy newborn cuddles. The laughter that echoes through the chaos.
The way your little ones reach for you without even thinking. The moments that feel ordinary now but, one day, will mean everything.

My newborn sessions are gentle, soulful, and completely baby-led, all from the comfort of your own home. There’s no pressure to have the perfect house or a perfectly settled baby. Instead, we embrace the beauty of your real life…. feeding, cuddling, soothing, and simply being together, because this is your story, exactly as it is.

My family sessions are all about connection. Whether we’re in your home, where your family’s story unfolds every day, or outdoors chasing the golden light, I want to capture the love that lives between you. The giggles, the warm embraces, the windswept hair, the happy tears, the playful moments, and the quiet ones. The photographs that instantly transport you back to exactly how it felt to hold your babies in this chapter of your life.

Because one day, these little hands won’t fit so perfectly in yours. The tiny voices will grow louder, then quieter. The seasons will change, and so will your family.

But your photographs will become a doorway back to these moments….to the love, the joy, and the feeling of home.

If this connects with your heart, I’d truly love to hear from you. Send me a DM or leave a comment below. It would be such an honour to tell your family’s story. 🤍

There is a certain kind of magic woven into the young years.
Not the polished kind. Not the quiet kind.
But the real kind.

The kind found in sleepy newborn stretches, children talking over one another, bare feet racing through the house, toys scattered across the floor, and parents learning to hold both exhaustion and overwhelming love in the very same breath.

These years are tender and untamed all at once.
One moment you are rocking a baby in the middle of the night, wondering if you’ll ever sleep again… and before you know it, they are taller, older, more independent, and the little things you thought would last forever have quietly disappeared.

That’s why photographs matter…

Because long after the noise settles and these fleeting seasons have passed, you will still be able to return to these moments, to remember the feeling of tiny hands in yours, the way your children looked at you, and the beautiful chaos of building a life together.

The young years are not perfect.

They are better than that….

They are alive with love 🫶🏻🥹❤️

There are some words that don’t just sit on a page… they stay with you, they follow you, they become part of you.

In my last birthday card, Mum wrote,
“I’m so proud to be your mum, love Mum ###.”

I don’t think she ever realised just how much those words would come to mean. So I had them engraved into a ring, in her handwriting…A ring made from the pieces of her, all of the beautiful jewels she gave me over the years, each one holding its own memory, its own moment, its own piece of her love. Melted down and brought together into one, so that I can carry her with me, always.

Close to me.
Constant.
Unfading.

Because the truth is… I miss her in a way that doesn’t really have words…

I miss her steady presence.

Her listening ear.

The way she just knew.

But more than anything, I miss her love.

That kind of love… a mother’s love, is something I don’t think I will ever feel again in the same way. It was safe, unwavering, and quietly powerful… the kind of love that holds you together even when you don’t realise you’re falling apart. 🥹

Wearing this ring feels like holding onto a piece of that.
A reminder that her words are still with me.

That her love didn’t leave, it just changed shape.

And in the middle of all of this, while I’ve been unwell and finding my way through another hard season, my beautiful best friend quietly organised this for me. No fuss, no need for recognition, just love, shown in the most thoughtful and gentle way.

A surprise that held both so much beauty and so much ache.
Something that has brought me to tears..

Thank you for seeing me, for holding me, and for honouring something so deeply personal in a way I will treasure forever. ILY 🫶🏻

Some things we carry not because we have to…
but because they are too precious to ever put down.

I love you so much Mummy darling x
