Relaxed newborn photography in Boronia with a calm, baby-led approach

Hi, I’m a lifestyle photographer based in Boronia with over 10 years of experience capturing real, heartfelt moments for families across Melbourne. I specialise in newborn photography, as well as maternity and family photos, all with a storytelling approach. Before I became a photographer, I studied writing and now I use both forms of storytelling to preserve the fleeting, beautiful moments that define your family’s early days.

This page is dedicated to newborn photography in Boronia, documenting those early weeks with your baby in a gentle, natural way that feels easy and real.

Newborn photos in Boronia

My sessions aren’t staged or overly posed. I don’t work in a studio, instead, I offer in-home newborn sessions and relaxed outdoor shoots around Boronia and surrounding areas like the Dandenong Ranges and Mornington Peninsula. Whether we’re capturing cosy moments in your lounge room or a golden-hour walk through a leafy trail, I aim to tell your family’s story with honesty and heart.

With a gentle, baby-led approach, I focus on keeping everyone comfortable. There’s no need to stress about tidying up, I’ll help shift things as we go. What matters most is documenting the real love, connection, and wonder in these early days.

Newborn photos in Boronia with real moments, beautifully told

There’s something magical about this newborn stage, tiny toes, soft snuggles, and those sleepy newborn stretches. But it all passes so quickly. My goal is to create a relaxed space where you can just be with your baby while I quietly capture the in-between moments: the way you hold them, the way they settle into your chest, and the small details that you’ll want to remember forever.

These newborn sessions are calm, never rushed, and designed entirely around your baby’s needs, ideal for first-time parents or families welcoming a new sibling.

In-home newborn photography in Boronia

Your home is more than just a setting, it’s the heart of your family life. Whether your living room is full of toys, laundry, or soft morning light, it’s the perfect place for baby photos that feel deeply personal. You don’t need a Pinterest-perfect space, what matters is that it’s yours.

In-home newborn photos in Boronia allow you to stay relaxed in a familiar environment, with time for feeding, changing, and cuddling as needed. We’ll move at your pace and find the most beautiful light in your everyday surroundings.

Outdoor newborn photography in Boronia and beyond

If you’re more drawn to nature, Boronia offers beautiful spots for peaceful outdoor photos. We might visit a quiet park nearby or venture into the Dandenong Ranges for a stunning natural backdrop. I also photograph families along the coast, including Mornington Peninsula sessions that combine fresh air and soft, golden light.

Outdoor sessions are great for families with older siblings too, kids can explore, play, and just be themselves while we capture real connection.

Frequently Asked Questions for Boronia

How long does a family session typically last?

Family sessions in Melbourne usually last 1-2 hours, depending on the size of your family and the location. This gives us plenty of time to capture a variety of shots while keeping everyone comfortable and engaged.

Do you offer prints and albums?

Yes! I offer professional printing services and beautiful albums to help you preserve your family memories. I can also recommend the best places to print your digital files in Melbourne if you prefer to handle printing yourself.

What if my children don't cooperate during the session?

Don't worry! I'm experienced with children of all ages and temperaments. I use games, songs, and playful activities to keep kids engaged. Some of the best photos come from candid moments when children are being themselves. I'll work with your family's natural dynamics.

What should we wear for our family session?

Choose coordinating colors rather than matching outfits. Avoid bright neon colors and large logos. Earth tones, pastels, and neutral colors work well. Most importantly, wear something you feel comfortable and confident in. I recommend bringing a change of clothes for the kids in case of accidents.

Can we include our pets in the family session?

Absolutely! Pets are part of the family too. Just let me know in advance so I can plan accordingly. I recommend bringing treats and toys to help keep pets focused during the session.

When will we receive our photos?

You'll receive a sneak peek within 48 hours of your session. The full gallery will be ready within 2-3 weeks, depending on the season and my current workload.
