Frequently Asked Questions
-
Head to our website to book your session online - if you can’t find a suitable date/time, feel free to get in touch, we will always do our best to try and accommodate you.
Our sessions are $220 and cover your photographer’s time and talent, editing to your gallery images and your viewing appointment.
Around two weeks after you've sat for your photography session, you'll come back to the studio where we will reveal your gallery of gorgeous images.
You can then choose one of our beautiful collections to purchase (individual items from $195 and all-inclusive collections from $1695). With our graphic design and print knowledge, you’ll be in the best of hands to help decide how to display your beautiful new photographs in your home.
-
To avoid disappointment please book your session as far in advance as possible. There is limited availability each month, and we pride ourselves on giving you the best attention to detail.
We suggest getting in touch during your pregnancy so we can pencil in a date around 2 weeks after your due date. Ideally our newborn sessions take place when bubs is around 2-3 weeks old.

We recommend reaching out during your first trimester to secure your maternity session for when you're around 33-35 weeks gestation.
This is the perfect time to capture your beautiful bump while ensuring you're still feeling comfortable for your session.
Maternity sessions can be held either in our Studio or Outdoors.

Choosing between a studio or outdoor family session depends on your personal style, the season, and the type of memories you want to create!
A few things to consider include: Our outdoor location allows more freedom for candid moments and natural interactions; this can be especially helpful if you have little ones who don’t like to stay still for long periods or if you want extended family to attend.
The Studio is a more intimate space that is more suited to welcoming families with newborns and young children no matter the weather - we have plenty of supplies!

No, your session fee does not include any prints or digital files.
The session fee covers:
Your session experience – including time and expertise. Professional posing guidance and styling advice. A beautifully curated and beautifully edited gallery of images for you to choose from. Design knowledge around how to display your images.
Your images can then be purchased separately at your viewing appointment after your session. This allows you to choose only the images and products you truly love, ensuring your investment is tailored to your needs.
-
For studio or outdoor family sessions, we suggest allowing up to an hour.
Newborn sessions we say allow up to 3 hours but generally we’re done by around 2 hours – just don’t book any appointments the same day in case bubs needs extra time settling, we don’t want you to be rushing. Sit back and relax, just be in the moment and let us take care of everything!
-
It is important to start the session with baby having a full tummy. We can always take a break and let them have another feed during the session if needed. This is very normal. We will work through it with warmth, rocking and patience. I also have spare dummies if you haven’t been using one already.
And honestly, if your baby does a poo/wee DO NOT stress if this happens. This is also totally normal and expected!
-
Our purpose-built studio is a welcoming and calming space that allows for only immediate family members.
We would suggest if you were after extended family photographs, booking an outdoor session instead.
Our beautiful studio is equipped with all the supplies you need during our time together. We even have spare nappies, wipes, dummies, toys to keep the toddler entertained - you name it, we’ve got it there for you. Make yourselves at home, take a nap if you’d like!
-
If for any reason you need to reschedule your session please get in touch asap. You will always be notified in advance if your session needs to be rescheduled due to weather. All rescheduled sessions need to be made within 7 days or a re-booking fee may be charged or you may lose monies paid.
-
About two weeks after your session, you’ll return to the studio for a special moment—your gallery reveal!
This is when you’ll see your stunning images for the first time and choose how you’d love to display them. You can go view and feel our gorgeous studio samples and see the quality on offer. Individual items from $195 and collections from $1695.
You’ll receive expert design advice to create custom wall art or albums that beautifully complement your new family photographs—perfect for proudly displaying in your home!
-
Your viewing appointment is your dedicated time to select and purchase your photographs. If you decide not to purchase at your appointment or later wish to buy additional images/products, a retrieval fee may apply to access your gallery again.
Your gallery will be kept on file for 4 weeks before being archived. After 12 weeks, it will be permanently removed from our system.
Once you receive your final USB with digital files, we strongly recommend saving them to multiple locations (cloud storage or hard drives). While we do our best to keep backups during the archive period, we cannot guarantee retrieval if you lose your files in the future.
-
Please allow 4-6 weeks for your final prints and products to be ready for collection from the studio.
Each piece is custom-made with love and care by skilled Australian craftspeople, ensuring the highest quality and attention to detail. We’ve carefully chosen our suppliers because they use premium materials designed to stand the test of time.
From handcrafted frames and albums to stunning canvases, every product is made to perfection—because your memories deserve nothing less. We promise your beautiful photographs will be well worth the wait, ready to be cherished for generations!
-
We absolutely understand how your little furry family members are part of your life too and you’d love to include them in your photographs! Just make sure to communicate this with us before your session but we will do our best to accommodate and incorporate your pets either in the studio or outdoors.
We can assure you; we clean and disinfect between each client in the studio so if you’re not comfortable with pets having been in the studio this can put your mind at ease!
-
Our gallery viewings are not held online because we like to be able to help you go through all your print options in person and work through how best to display your favourite images.
We feel being able to physically hold our quality print products in your hands is important when investing in these beautiful family keepsakes. This way also saves lots of back-and-forth emails and we like to be able to answer any of your queries as we go.
As part of our personalised service to you, we find this appointment adds value to your whole experience with us. We’ve helped capture such precious memories for you and want to continue with that personal level of care throughout the whole process.
With our graphic design knowledge, we have an amazing eye for detail and can help you to visualise how your photographs will look depending on how you’d like to display them. We know what looks great and what will work based on your images and your home!

As a parent of four myself, I know just how precious your little one is. That’s why in our studio; safety always comes first. We follow a strict set of non-negotiable safety rules to ensure every session is calm, comfortable, and secure.
Newborn photography is a highly saturated and unregulated industry, but with 13+ years of experience, you can trust that your baby is in the safest hands. We are a fully insured and responsible business, and I will always handle your newborn with the same care, patience, and respect that I would my own.
When choosing a newborn photographer, please do your research—your precious little human deserves only the very best!
