Natural, timeless newborn photography in the Hunter Valley

THE NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY EXPERIENCE

Those first few weeks with your newborn are a bit of a blur. Between the feeds, the cuddles and getting to know this tiny new person, it's easy to forget just how little they once were.

My newborn photography sessions take place in my Wattle Grove studio in Sydney (2026). In January 2027 they will be held in my Hunter Valley studio, welcoming families from Maitland, Newcastle and the surrounding areas. Sessions are relaxed and completely baby-led, with plenty of time for feeding, settling and cuddles. You'll also have access to my studio wardrobe, with beautiful pieces for both you and your baby.

All you need to do is come along, cuddle your baby and let me take care of the rest.

Absolutely gorgeous photos. Was a beautiful space for the photos, she was very welcoming and understanding of our family and crazy kids. Would highly recommend.

We did our newborn photos with Sweet Moments back in June and we were so incredibly happy with how beautifully they turned out. Every one we show them to is so impressed! Christina was so great with our daughter, knew all the tricks to keep her settled to get the perfect shot. It was really nice having outfits to borrow for both mum and Bub to match the aesthetic of the cute little studio as well as baby change station, every comfort detail was thought of! The whole experience was amazing from start to finish! Highly recommend her

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I book my newborn session?

I recommend reaching out during your second trimester, ideally around 20 weeks, to secure a place in my calendar. I only take on a limited number of newborn bookings each month so that I can allow plenty of flexibility around babies arriving.

If your little one has already arrived, or you're a little further along in your pregnancy, please don't hesitate to get in touch. I'll always do my best to accommodate last-minute enquiries where I can.

How do I book a session when I don't know when my baby will be born?

You don't need to know exactly when your baby will arrive!

When you book, I'll reserve a place in my calendar based on your estimated due date. Once your little one arrives, we'll organise your actual session date together.

This allows us to work around your baby's arrival rather than trying to predict it.

When is the best time to photograph my newborn?

Newborn sessions are generally photographed within the first two to three weeks after birth, when babies are still wonderfully sleepy and naturally curled up.

That said, there's no strict cut-off. Beautiful newborn photographs can absolutely be taken with older babies too, and I'll always adapt the session to suit your little one.

What if my baby won't settle during the session?

Please don't worry about this at all. I've photographed plenty of babies who have had other plans for their session!

My newborn sessions are completely baby-led, with up to two hours set aside so there's plenty of time for feeding, changing, cuddles and settling.

There's no expectation for your baby to sleep the entire time, and we won't rush them into anything they're not comfortable with.

Can parents and siblings be included in the photographs?

Absolutely, and I really encourage it!

Your newborn session isn't just about photographing your baby. It's also about capturing your family together during these early days.

Parents and siblings are welcome to be included, and I'll gently guide everyone through the photographs so you don't need to worry about knowing what to do.

Where do newborn photography sessions take place?

Newborn sessions take place in my private Wattle Grove studio (sydney) until January 2027 when I relocate to my  Hunter Valley studio, welcoming families from Maitland, Newcastle and the surrounding areas.

The studio is a calm, comfortable space with everything we need for your baby's session, including wraps, outfits and a selection of simple, timeless accessories.

All you need to bring is your baby and their usual essentials.

How do I prepare for our newborn session?

Once your booking is confirmed, I'll send you a preparation and styling guide with everything you need to know before your session.

It covers what to bring, what to wear and a few helpful tips for the day.

And please don't stress if the morning doesn't go perfectly to plan. Newborn life can be unpredictable, and we'll simply work around your baby.

Can I purchase additional images?

Of course!

You'll have the opportunity to purchase additional photographs or upgrade to a larger collection once you've seen your completed gallery.

There's no pressure to decide on extra images before your session. You can simply choose what you love when the time comes.

I'll check out your message and come back to you ASAP.
