One hundred days of getting to know your little person. 🤎

A hundred days of first cuddles, sleepless nights, tiny discoveries, and watching their little personality slowly unfold.

Baek-il (백일) is such a beautiful milestone to celebrate. For families planning a Baek-il celebration, I often suggest arranging the photoshoot a little beforehand, especially if you’d love to have the photographs ready to share with family and friends on the day.

A little behind the scenes from this family’s Baek-il session at my Eastwood studio.

At this age, every baby has their own rhythm. Some need a little more time to settle, others are happiest being held close. And that’s perfectly okay.

I always take the time to understand your baby’s needs, follow their cues, and make space for feeding, cuddles and little breaks along the way. There’s no rush, and certainly no expectation for everything to go perfectly.

Because I want you to remember not just the photographs we create, but how it felt to be there together.

It was especially lovely to receive these words from this family afterwards:

“We especially appreciated how reassuring she was about working with our newborn and following his cues.”

“We felt relaxed throughout the session and absolutely love the photos and videos.”

A few little glimpses from a recent newborn session. 🤎

And a little note before another year slips by.

With the holidays approaching, I have just a handful of sessions left for the rest of 2026.

If you’ve been meaning to book a newborn or family photography session in Sydney, but somehow life keeps getting in the way, perhaps this is your little nudge.

For the grandparents who would love nothing more. For that empty wall waiting to be filled with the people you love. Or simply to remember your family, just as you are today.

Because another year will come, and everyone will be a little different.

Whether it’s a newborn session in my Eastwood studio, an in-home family session, or an afternoon outdoors, I’d love to document this little part of your family’s life.

Limited November & December availability. Send me a message if you’d love to make it happen. 🤎

It’s 10 weeks to go until Christmas. 🎄

And somewhere between the school runs, the never-ending to-do lists and trying to remember who’s getting what for Christmas, another year has almost slipped by.

Perhaps this is the Christmas they still fit comfortably in your arms. The one where they’re fascinated by every little light on the tree. Or the year they finally understand what all the excitement is about.

Next Christmas, they’ll be a little different.

And I think that’s reason enough to make a few photographs together. 🤎

My Christmas Minis are back for 2026, with a completely new setting. Think soft twinkling lights, understated Christmas details, and a little magic without all the fuss.

I’ll help with styling, there’s a client wardrobe for mums and little ones, and we’ll make room for your family to simply be yourselves.

Sunday 22 November 2026
Eastwood Studio, Sydney

Bookings are open, with session times still available.

DM me XMAS and I’ll send through all the details and booking link.

I’d love to see you there. 🤎

A mother’s work is never done.

There is always another little person to tend to. Another meal, another bath, another sleepy head finding its familiar resting place upon her shoulder.

And somewhere amidst the beautiful, relentless business of raising children, a mother finds herself wishing she could remember it all.

This was the fourth time I had photographed this family.

I first met them when they were expecting their first child. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of watching their family grow, one little person at a time.

This time, we stayed home.

I documented them in the living room where much of their everyday life unfolds, and the bathroom where the two sisters currently love bathing together.

There was the baby’s little outfit that Mum adored. The weight of her sleeping daughter against her shoulder. The tender, occasionally tumultuous business of sisterhood — two little girls forever orbiting one another, learning the delicate art of sharing a world.

Nothing particularly extraordinary, perhaps.

Except that one day, all of it will be.

The bathtub will grow too small for two. The favourite outfit will be outgrown. The little girl who falls asleep in her mother’s arms will find other places to rest her head.

Of course, we made the photographs where everyone gathered close and smiled for the camera. I love those, too.

But I have always believed that a family’s story deserves more than its most presentable moments.

It deserves the peculiar little habits. The tenderness hidden inside the chaos. The details so woven into everyday life that nobody thinks to remember them.

Until, years from now, they are precisely what we long to revisit.

And perhaps that is the quiet privilege of being invited back, year after year.

To witness a family becoming. To make a record of all that changes, and all that remains.

And to leave a mother with something tangible when the years have softened the edges of her memory.

A little evidence of how it all once was. 🤎

One hundred days with you. 🤎

A little Baek-il celebration for this family, marking 100 days with their baby boy — and one I had the privilege of photographing in my Eastwood studio.

His parents later told me how prepared and comfortable they felt before they even arrived, and how much they appreciated being able to simply follow their newborn’s cues once we began.

That stayed with me.

Because especially with a little one, there is no need to rush towards the photograph. We can pause. Feed. Settle. Follow their lead. And somewhere in between, make space for the three of you to simply be together.

In their words, they “felt relaxed throughout the session” — which might be one of my favourite things to hear.

A beautiful Korean tradition, 100 days of becoming a family, and photographs to remember just how little he once was.

September, life lately.

A punctured tyre, a little bee, far too many late-night episodes, a website finally out in the world, ten quiet minutes under a blue sky — and all the ordinary bits in between.

A full month. A good one. 🤎

Father’s Day at the park. The kids disappeared towards the playground with their grandparents, and somehow we found ourselves lying on the grass, just the two of us, staring at a ridiculously blue sky.

Ten minutes of nothing.
I’d forgotten how good nothing could feel.

All these years of driving without a punctured tyre, and September decided my luck had run out — an hour from home, naturally.

One painfully expensive rescue later, I learnt my lesson: that portable tyre pump in the car is only useful if you actually remember to charge it.

An afternoon spent cutting, gluing and making our little bee-and-nature world together.

She had ideas. I was mostly there for structural engineering.

And somehow our little creation came second in her preschool. Very serious business, apparently. 🐝

One episode of Pursuit of Jade became another, then another.

I gave myself permission to stay up far too late and surrendered every little pocket of spare time I could find to it.

Terrible for sleep. Excellent for escaping real life for a while.

Shoots. Galleries leaving my desk. And many, many hours behind the scenes finishing a new home for my work.

By the end of September, it was finally live.

Same heart. A photographer who has grown. And a space that finally feels like it belongs to the work I’m making now.

My eldest becoming fiercely independent. The two of them endlessly orbiting each other — playing, fighting, negotiating, making up, then fighting again five minutes later.

Play dates. Little conversations. Arms suddenly longer. Shoes suddenly too small.

So much of September exists only in my memory.

Perhaps those are the parts I’ll remember most.

It’s finally here — and for the first time, this little corner of my business truly feels like home. 🤎

Today I get to welcome you into the new home of Aliki Anadena Photography.

This isn’t a rebrand. The heart of this business hasn’t changed. But over the last few years, I have grown as a photographer — becoming more certain of the work I want to create, the stories I want to tell, and what I want it all to stand for.

I started this business photographing weddings in 2018, before finding my way into family photography a few years later. Since then, I’ve grown as an artist, become a mother of two, and found so much more clarity in the kind of work that feels most meaningful to me.

I still believe that family photographs matter because family matters — that the ordinary days, the little details and the way we love each other now are worth preserving.

For a while, though, the space where my work lived hadn’t quite caught up.

Now it has.

A home for maternity, newborn and family stories. For the beautifully ordinary. For photographs that I hope will mean even more with time.

The new website is now live, and I’d love for you to come in and have a look around. 🤎

Due in summer? This is your sign to start planning your maternity photos. 🤍

Maternity sessions are best booked ahead, with your photoshoot usually planned for around 32–36 weeks—when your bump is beautifully defined but you’re still feeling comfortable enough to enjoy the experience.

Choose a maternity session on its own, or Bump to Bub to document both your pregnancy + those first days with your baby.

Now booking Sydney maternity + newborn sessions for summer.

DM or enquire via the link in bio to start planning yours. 🤍

Your toddler doesn’t need to “cooperate” for beautiful newborn photos. 🤍

One of the worries I often hear before a newborn family session isn’t actually about the newborn—it’s whether the older sibling will sit still, cuddle the baby, or want anything to do with photos at all. 😅

And honestly? They don’t have to.

Welcoming a new baby is already such a big change in their little world. Expecting a toddler to suddenly perform for the camera can put unnecessary pressure on everyone—especially when you’re still finding your own rhythm as a family.

And that work starts before the session. I take the time to get to know your family—you tell me the songs they love, what makes them laugh, and the little tricks that work at home. You know your child best; I bring the gentle guidance and experience. Together, we meet them where they are.

During the session, we simply follow your family’s rhythm. We play when it feels right, pause when we need to, and never force a moment that isn’t happening naturally.

Somewhere in that space, the beautiful little moments tend to find us. 🤍

Because the goal was never a perfectly behaved toddler beside a perfectly sleeping newborn. It’s to remember what your family felt like in this season—the tenderness, the adjustment, the chaos, and those first little glimpses of a sibling relationship beginning to grow.

So come as you are. Love on your babies, be present with them, and let me take care of the photographs.

Newborn + family photography at my Eastwood studio and in-home newborn sessions across Sydney. Now booking through summer. 🤍
