Newborn Photography

Newcastle - Lake Macquarie - Port Stephens and surrounds


Looking back on those early days in your newborn bubble, at least for me, feels like a dreamy blur of expanded love, little sleep, endless feeds and learning something new each day.


My style of newborn photography is all about documenting those precious details—from tiny fingers curling around yours to delicate toes resting in your palm. I want to capture the intimate moments of cuddles, connection and love, where the bond between parent and child deepens in those early weeks.


I take my time during newborn sessions. If we need to pause, feed, cuddle or catch our breath—please don’t stress. As a mum to two boys and a baby girl, I’ve seen everything from cluster feeding marathons to nappy explosions. Nothing phases me, and nothing needs to be perfect.


In-home newborn sessions are shaped entirely around you. If your home is tidy, great—and if not, that’s completely okay too. I can work around a pile (or two or three) of washing. There is so much beauty in capturing real moments: feeds, baths, changes, sleepy cuddles and the quiet tenderness of new parenthood. Before your session, I’ll send a short questionnaire to understand the style of images you love and the moments you most want to remember.

I also offer location newborn sessions if being outdoors feels more like you. Whether at home or in a favourite spot, my focus is always on capturing relaxed, natural, lifestyle images that reflect the love and connection within your family. And if you’re unsure which option you prefer, you’re welcome to decide after baby arrives.


If you’re looking for a natural, lifestyle newborn photographer in Newcastle, Lake Macquarie or the Hunter, this is for families who want heartfelt images of their baby—timeless, emotive and full of love.
