These photos aren’t just for this season… they’re for the little boy who will one day look back and see how loved he was from the very beginning. 🤍

If you’ve ever worried your home isn’t “nice enough” for an in-home newborn session, this is your sign not to overthink it. 🤍

All I need is a window with beautiful natural light, and I know how to find the best little pockets of it throughout your home.

The best part? You don’t need to pack a bag, rush out the door, or try to get everyone somewhere on time. You can stay cozy, settle in with your baby, and just be.

There’s something so special about documenting this season in the place where you’re making all these first memories together.

Real life, just as it is. Beautifully documented ✨

Before they became four ✨

One last season as a family of three, with sandy feet, salty air, and so much excitement for the little person they were about to meet.

These are the moments I love to capture, so you can look back and remember this season just as much as the newborn days. 🤍

One of my favourite parts of a Bump to Baby journey is getting to see families again for such a special new chapter.

After photographing these three at the beach, it was so lovely to be welcomed into their home a few weeks later to meet their newest little love and capture life as a family of four ✨

Lifestyle newborn sessions are all about documenting your family as you are in this season. No pressure to be perfect. Just cuddles on the couch, big brother soaking up his new role, tiny newborn stretches, and all the little moments that make these early days so special 🤍

Family photos should be…

✨ Relaxed, not rushed
✨ Full of connection and genuine moments
✨ Flexible enough for kids to be kids
✨ Guided, so you never feel awkward in front of the camera
✨ A chance to press pause and remember this season of life

It’s easy to think you need everyone perfectly dressed, perfectly behaved, and perfectly happy before booking family photos.

But I’m here to tell you... you don’t.

I believe the best photos come from simply showing up, spending time together, embracing the chaos, and letting me capture the moments in between ❤️

Because one day, these are the moments you’ll want to remember most.

Newborn sessions in these colder months are bringing all the cosy, love soaked feelings ✨

Slow days, warm cuddles, tiny stretches, feeding breaks and that beautiful early haze where time feels like it stands still and flies all at once.

Now booking August - December due dates 🤍

Messages like this mean so much to me 🥰

“We had a newborn/family photoshoot with Amy and she was friendly, warm and professional. She made us feel really comfortable and was great with both our newborn and older child. The photos came out amazing and we struggled to choose our favourites as they were all so great. Would highly recommend!”

This is always my hope going into every session… that you feel at ease, that you’re little ones can just be themselves and that I can provide a gallery that makes choosing your images feel almost impossible (in the best way!)

So grateful to the families who take the time to leave kind words like this ❤️

Hey friends! A few of you are new here so I thought it was time to say hello and tell you a bit about me…

I’m Amy, mama to two, wife, and the one behind the camera.

I’ve been taking photos for over 10 years, working for studios in Melbourne and refining my art along the way. Running my own business now is an absolute dream!

I love capturing motherhood, newborns, and families of all ages and stages. The little moments, the big emotions, and everything in between.

Thank you for following along this journey and letting me share these moments with you ❤️

One thing I hear often from new mums is that they want newborn photos… but they worry their house isn’t tidy enough, their baby won’t settle, or they won’t feel ready to be in photos yet.

The truth is, none of these things matter as much as you think they do.

Newborn sessions in your home are slow, relaxed and built around your baby. We take breaks for feeds, cuddles, and whatever your little one needs.

All you really have to do is hold your baby. I’ll take care of the rest. 🤍
