Whether you're looking to capture just your precious baby or include the whole family, my newborn sessions are designed to preserve this fleeting moment in time. 

With two beautifully curated package options, you can choose a quiet, focused session just for your baby, or a full experience that includes relaxed, heartfelt portraits with parents and siblings. 

Every session is calm, baby-led, and filled with love—creating a collection of images you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

About my sessions

Every newborn session is held in my commercial studio in Samford Valley, Brisbane. This is a space thoughtfully designed with new families in mind—peaceful, private, and fully equipped for your comfort.

Inside the studio, you'll find a lovingly curated collection of props, baskets, textured wraps, soft blankets, delicate headbands (Handmade by me), and cuddly teddies, all chosen to help create a gallery that is timeless, artistic, and uniquely yours. The space is fully air-conditioned to keep you comfortable, with gentle heating to ensure your baby stays cosy and content throughout the session.

With over 12 years of experience in newborn photography—8 of those full-time—I’ve had the joy and honor of capturing more than 1,000 babies and their families. I understand the rhythms of newborns, the pace that helps everyone feel relaxed, and the small in-between moments that become the most treasured memories. You and your baby are in expert hands.

Newborns are typically photographed between 8 to 20 days old, when they’re still wonderfully sleepy and curly. However, beautiful images can be captured at any age—from 5 days right up to 5 months old. For babies over 10 weeks, we adjust the session flow and styling to suit their stage, often capturing gorgeous open-eyed expressions and budding personalities.

 If your little one has spent time in special care, we’ll schedule your session as soon as they’re ready—it’s never too late to preserve these moments.

Sessions are held on weekdays only, and I take on a limited number of newborns each month to ensure every family receives the time, care, and flexibility they deserve. A 50% non-refundable deposit is required at the time of booking to secure your place, with the balance due on the day of your session.

All final gallery images are carefully selected and professionally edited by Dawn Photography, and payment plans are available—just reach out and ask.
