Frequently Asked Questions

My cozy and natural light filled In-home studio is located in Mulgrave, Melbourne.

The studio has a very calm and inviting atmosphere to it, so everyone who walks through the doors can feel relaxed.  

A studio newborn session is best done when your baby is  around 5- 14 days old. 

Older newborn session can be done up to 3 months old baby.

 I tend to recommend booking just after you’ve had your 20 week scan.  If you book too late, or after baby has arrived, there’s a chance I wont be able to fit you in whilst they are within the ideal age range of under 2 weeks.  

Most parents can expect to be at the studio for up to 1.5 hours. We can’t rush these little newborns, so the sessions are completely baby-led.  I allow plenty of time for feeding and comforting. It’s quite often your first time out of the house as a new family, so I aim to make your session as relaxed as possible. I do very little posing, which makes the sessions a much more calming experience. 

Baby session are shot from 3 - 12 months, Older babies & toddlers are welcome too!

 I recommend choosing a session date at least 4 weeks before your baby's first birthday, depending on what you plan to do with the photos. If you're planning to use your baby's photo on their invitations or display prints at a birthday party or put on invitations, book earlier to ensure there is enough time to process your photos and products. 

Lots of fun and mess!

We will start with individual portraits where the focus will be on capturing the personality and beautiful features of your child to create stunning, natural portraits. 

A simple white setup will ensure the focus stays on your baby, minimalistic Cake and letters ONE for the Cake Smashing part will  ensure a special celebration feel. 

For the final bit of fun we will give your little one a chance to splash around in a beautiful tub while I capture them having fun in the water.

Most of my clients schedule their maternity photos between 30-36 weeks which is what I always recommend, but every bump will develop at different speeds. You don’t want to leave it too late though as some of these babies make surprise early arrivals! 

Most definitely! If your partner or children would like to be in some of the photos just let me know, and I can plan the session accordingly. 

The most important thing is you feel comfortable, but the colours that work best in the studio are whites, creams and beiges. 

All sessions include access to my studio wardrobe, which has outfits for babies ranging from newborn to size 18 months, as well as a small selection of  gorgeous dresses (bump friendly) for Mum.

 I don't have anything for Dads, but a simple white shirt, sweater or t-shirt with a beige trouser work great.

No, I do not provide RAW images, as they are not the final product and do not fully represent the quality and vision of the work I deliver.
