NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY MELBOURNE
For the safety of your precious newborn baby, it is super important that you choose a photographer who is an experienced and qualified newborn photographer.
The Certificate in Newborn Photography consists of 20 subjects pertaining to Birth, Newborn Health & Safety, and Workplace Health & Safety.
I have also completed an Infant CPR and First Aid Certificate, Covid-19 Infection Control Training Certificate, and am fully immunised with all vaccines recommended by health.vic.gov.au for people working with babies and children: Whooping Cough, measles, mumps, rubella, chickenpox, hepatitis A & B, and seasonal flu vaccines.

Newborns grow and develop very quickly. To ensure the safety and comfort of your precious newborn, my approach to your session will be different depending on their age and stage of development.
NEWBORNS 14 DAYS OR YOUNGER
Within the first two weeks, newborns still retain some of their gorgeous traits from when they were in mum's womb. They are super flexible, still love to curl up tightly, has adorably squishy features, and may still have fine hair on their bodies (lanugo). They don't mind being naked as long as it's warm, and falls into a deep sleep easily. Therefore, at this age they can be safely posed in many super cute positions and props.
If you love these squishy curly posed Newborn Portaits, it is very important that you make a tentative booking when you're pregnant. We will confirm the booking when you are close to your due date, and organise a time when both parents and siblings can attend.
NEWBORNS 2 WEEKS OR OLDER
NEWBORN PORTRAIT SESSIONS IN YOUR OWN HOME
The session fee is $350. This does NOT include any prints or digital files. However, it does include a $100 book-online-bonus-credit for you to put towards albums, wall arts, or a digital package if you make the booking via the online booking calendar below.

Sometimes getting out of the house with a newborn baby is hard, especially after a caesarian or if baby has a young toddler sibling. A newborn session in your home is a relaxed way to photograph your family's new arrival.
A Newborn Session in your home can be a Posed Session, or a more natural Story-telling Session.
POSED NEWBORN SESSION IN YOUR HOME
STORYTELLING SESSION IN YOUR HOME
Storytelling session is very different from a posed studio-style session.
In this session, our aim is to tell an honest story of your baby's arrival in your family, and the love that surrounds him(her). We will photograph your baby in his(her) favourite everyday onesie, snuggled in a blanket grandma made. We will capture your baby asleep in your arms, or awake looking at you with all the love and trust in the world. We may even tell the story of your baby's bath while his(her) big sister looks on.
Storytelling session is suitable for newborns and babies of any age, and is an amazing way to preserve memories that are real and meaningful to your family for a lifetime.
BABY ART
Baby art is a composite image that incorporated your baby into a beautiful and elaborate digital artwork.
Most baby art poses requires your baby to be asleep, so it is best done when your baby is 14 days or younger. There are a few Baby Art setups that can work with wrapped older, more awake babies.
Baby Art is an optional add-on to your Newborn Session. The creation of Baby Art is complimentary when you order it as a wall art of any size, or $100 each as an add-on to your digital package if you only want to order it as a digital file.
If you are interested in creating Baby Art, please let me know at the time of your booking, as it requires quite a bit of planning well before your session.
