Beautiful newborn photos in The Basin, capturing those early days together

Hello! I’m a lifestyle photographer with over a decade of experience, dedicated to capturing the beautiful stories of families in and around The Basin. While I also specialise in maternity photography and the joyful chaos of family photos, this page is all about your baby’s first days through natural and relaxed newborn photography sessions right here in The Basin. As a mum myself, I know how quickly those early days become a blur and how much I wish I had more photos to look back on from those early days together.

Newborn Photos in The Basin

Welcoming a newborn into your home in The Basin is a special and (often) overwhelming time. My newborn photography sessions are designed to be a calm, unhurried experience, focused on capturing the genuine connection between you and your new baby, right in the familiarity of your own space. I come to you, bringing a relaxed approach that allows for natural moments to unfold. We capture those tiny details, moments together and all the inbetween that are just as important.

For me, the most meaningful newborn photos genuinely reflect the atmosphere of your home during this special time. There’s no need to worry about tidying up beforehand; we can easily move a few things around as needed, because welcoming a new baby is much more important than a perfectly spotless house. Just honest, beautiful moments of your family connecting with your new addition. Whether this is your first baby or your third, and you’re still finding your rhythm, my goal is to make this session as relaxed and pressure-free as possible. We’ll work together to get the photos you’re after.

Beautiful newborn photos at your home in The Basin

Your home in The Basin isn’t just a location for your newborn photography session; it’s the very first backdrop of your baby’s life and an important part of your family’s story. This familiar and personal environment provides the most authentic canvas for those precious first photos. By photographing your newborn in their own comfortable space, we ensure a relaxed and stress-free experience for everyone, which is key to capturing genuine moments. This lifestyle approach allows me to beautifully document your baby nestled in their nursery, the tender way siblings interact with their new arrival, and the quiet moments of connection between parents and child, all while using soft natural light within your home, nestled in the foothills of the Dandenongs.

Outdoor newborn and family photo opportunities in The Basin

While in-home sessions are ideal for sleepy newborn photos, The Basin’s unique natural beauty offers stunning backdrops for outdoor newborn photos and other family milestones, including maternity and family sessions as your little one grows. Imagine capturing joyous family photos among the tall eucalypts of Doongalla Picnic Ground, or candid moments at The Basin Reserve Playground. Even the bushy surrounds of Wicks Reserve or Batterham Reserve provide a beautiful, natural setting that truly reflects the essence of The Basin’s charm. These picturesque locations provide incredible light and varied backdrops, making them perfect complements to your in-home newborn session as your family’s story unfolds.

Relaxed newborn photos in The Basin

With over a decade of experience as a newborn photographer, I’ve learned that patience is paramount. Newborn sessions in The Basin are completely baby-led; your baby truly takes the lead to ensure they are happy and comfortable from start to finish. We’ll take plenty of time for every feed, change, and cuddle, letting them guide our flow. This relaxed style ensures you both feel at ease, allowing me to beautifully capture those fleeting sleepy smiles and wide-eyed moments that disappear so quickly.

Capturing all those details you’ll want to remember

During your newborn photos session in The Basin, one of my main focuses is on capturing all those incredibly important and sweet details; each little unique feature that change almost daily in these early weeks. Beyond that, I also gently capture the beautiful first connections that are already forming: the way you hold them, the loving gazes exchanged between parents and baby, and the joyful curiosity of older siblings meeting their new brother or sister. These are the heartfelt, unscripted moments that paint a vivid picture of your family’s new beginning, creating memories you’ll want to revisit for years to come, reminding you of this special time in your family’s journey.
