The best time to book your newborn session is during pregnancy to secure your spot, with most parents reserving in their second or third trimester. Sessions are ideally scheduled for 5–14 days after birth, when newborns are sleepiest and most comfortable for posing. Once your baby arrives, let me know, and we’ll schedule a day that works best for your family.

Absolutely! Including siblings and parents adds to the storytelling and creates beautiful family memories.

Neutral tones and simple patterns work best for timeless photos, I also enjoy working with dark colours in studio. Avoid bright colours or busy patterns that may distract from your faces and interactions.

Studio sessions offer a comfortable, welcoming space with professional lighting and a wide range of props, all set up and ready for you. The temperature is carefully controlled to make sure your newborn stays cozy throughout the session. In-home sessions are lifestyle-focused, capturing your family naturally in the comfort of your own home. I bring along select props and lighting, and while these sessions take a little longer due to setup and pack-up, they allow me to document genuine, everyday moments in a relaxed and personal way.

Newborn Sessions typically 2-3 hours to allow for feeding, changing, and soothing breaks. Family and Maternity Sessions generally up to an hour, depending on location and the number of participants.

My Melton West studio is filled with a variety of wraps, blankets, headbands, and props to suit any style. If there’s something special you’d like to include, you’re more than welcome to bring it along!

You will receive your selection gallery within 48 hours of your session. Once you have gone through and selected your favourite images, your final edited gallery will typically be ready within 2 weeks of your session. You then have the option to purchase albums and printed products to display in your home
