Embracing those precious early days at home with gentle newborn photography in Canterbury
Hello! I’m a lifestyle photographer with over ten years of experience, capturing honest and heartfelt stories for families across Canterbury and surrounding suburbs. I specialise in newborn photography, but also love documenting the anticipation of pregnancy with maternity photos and the joy-filled energy of family photos. This page focuses on those early newborn days, the quiet, fleeting moments that deserve to be remembered.
Before picking up a camera, I studied writing, and today I bring both storytelling skills, visual and written, into every session. My approach is gentle, natural, and relaxed, aiming to reflect your family’s unique story as it begins a beautiful new chapter.
Newborn photos in Canterbury
Welcoming a newborn into your Canterbury home is both a deeply meaningful and emotionally full time. My newborn photography sessions are designed to feel calm and unrushed, with the focus on capturing your connection in a way that feels genuine and relaxed. I’ll come to you, creating space for quiet feeds, sleepy snuggles, and all the beautifully real moments that make this chapter so fleeting and special.
I believe the most meaningful newborn photos are the ones that reflect life as it is, no need for a spotless home or polished perfection. We can shift things around as we go, making room for honest images of your family simply being together in the space where this new life began. These are the moments you’ll look back on and feel everything all over again.
Why your Canterbury home makes the perfect setting for newborn photography
Your Canterbury home provides the ideal, most authentic backdrop for your newborn photography session. It’s where your baby will grow, where first memories are truly made, and where you all feel most at ease. By photographing your newborn in their familiar environment, it creates a comfortable and stress-free experience for everyone. This lifestyle approach allows me to capture those honest, everyday interactions that are unique to your family’s story, from first bedroom details to sibling interactions, all bathed in beautiful natural light.
Camberwell newborn photos that tell a story
My over 10 years of experience as a newborn photographer has taught me the importance of patience and flexibility. Newborn sessions are never rushed; your baby always takes the lead to ensure they are happy and comfortable during our shoot. We take plenty of time for feeding, changing, soothing, and snuggling, following your baby’s cues. This laid-back approach ensures that both you and your baby are comfortable and relaxed throughout the session, allowing me to capture those sweet, sleepy expressions and wide-awake wonder that pass by far too quickly.
Capturing the tiny details and first connections
During your newborn photos session in Canterbury, I make sure to capture all those incredibly important tiny details, their perfect fingers, tiny toes, the delicate curl of their lips. These are the unique features that change so quickly. I also focus on the beautiful first connections between you as a family. These are the precious memories you’ll want to revisit for years to come, reminding you of this truly special time in your family’s journey.
Capturing the beginning of your family’s next chapter
In my role as your Canterbury newborn photographer, I’m here to help you tell the story of your baby’s arrival, such as the quiet moments, the wonder, the love that fills your home. These aren’t just photos, they’re memories you’ll return to time and time again, a way to remember just how small and deeply loved your baby was in those first precious days.
Serving Canterbury and beyond as your local newborn photographer
As a Melbourne-based lifestyle photographer, I’m thrilled to bring my gentle, in-home newborn photography services directly to families in Canterbury and many beautiful neighboring areas. I frequently travel across Melbourne’s eastern suburbs to capture these precious early stories in nearby areas such as Balwyn, Deepdene, Surrey Hills, Camberwell and Hawthorn, among others. If you’re welcoming a new baby in or around any of these areas, I’d be absolutely delighted to chat about preserving this incredibly precious time for your family.
