Calm, baby-led newborn photography in Lilydale

After more than 10 years as a newborn photographer, I’ve come to value a slow, relaxed approach. My newborn sessions in Lildale are entirely baby-led, meaning we move at your baby’s pace and not a tight schedule. Whether they need time for a feed, a change, or simply a comforting cuddle, we pause and let them lead the way.

There’s no rush, no pressure, just a calm, nurturing environment where you and your baby can settle in and feel comfortable. This gentle rhythm allows me to capture the sweet, sleepy expressions, those fleeting stretches, and the curious wide-eyed moments that pass all too quickly. Because as any parent knows, these early days go by in the blink of an eye and preserving them through beautiful, honest newborn photos means you’ll always have a way to return to them.

Honouring the little things and the big love in Lilydale

During your newborn photography session in Lilydale, I take the time to gently document all the tiny details that make your baby so uniquely them. Their little features change so quickly in those first few weeks, and capturing them helps preserve just how new and tiny they once were.

But it’s not just about the small details. I also focus on the first connections that unfold during your session. These moments may feel small in the moment, but they become the memories you’ll cherish the most. Your newborn photos are a beautiful way to remember this special time, a collection of memories you’ll cherish for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions for Lilydale

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
