From my Franklin home studio or the comfort of your own home through a relaxed lifestyle session, I create soft, natural portraits that celebrate your baby's earliest days. Every session is designed to feel calm and unhurried, allowing genuine connection and beautiful moments to unfold naturally.
Newborn Baby Photography Canberra
As a photographer with over a decade of experience, I understand the unique challenges and quiet beauty of newborn photography. My Canberra in-home studio is designed to offer a calm, comfortable environment where both you and your baby can feel completely at ease. I also offer relaxed in-home lifestyle sessions for families who prefer to be photographed in their own space.
Specialising in minimalist, light-filled photography, I work with soft neutral tones to create elegant and timeless images. I believe that by keeping everything simple and uncluttered, the natural beauty of your baby — and the connection within your family — Rather than elaborate themes or heavily styled sets, my focus is on creating elegant newborn portraits that will feel just as beautiful in twenty years as they do today.

Although my studio is based in Canberra, I proudly serve families across the ACT and surrounding regions. Known for my natural, minimalist style, I have become a trusted choice for parents seeking timeless, heartfelt imagery.

I am committed to creating a relaxed, memorable experience and images that truly reflect your family’s unique story.
Serving Families in CANBERRA and Beyond
Newborns change incredibly quickly, which is why most families reserve their session during pregnancy to ensure availability.
I accept a limited number of newborn bookings each month so every family receives a relaxed, personalised experience.
If you’re looking for professional newborn photography in Canberra, I would be honoured to capture these precious moments for you. With a focus on simplicity, elegance and comfort, I strive to create an experience that is as enjoyable as it is memorable.

Contact me today to book your Canberra newborn photography session or to learn more about my services. Let’s work together to create beautiful memories that you and your family will treasure for years to come.
Every newborn session is completely baby-led, with plenty of time for feeding, cuddles and settling. There is never any pressure to keep to a schedule, creating a calm experience for both parents and baby. I allow ample time for feeding, soothing, and cuddling, ensuring that your baby is content and comfortable throughout the session. This relaxed atmosphere helps to create serene and natural photographs that you will cherish for years to come.
In addition to studio sessions, I also offer in-home lifestyle newborn photography. If you prefer a more personal setting, I can come to your home and capture your baby in the environment where they feel most comfortable. This option allows for a more candid and intimate style of photography, reflecting the warmth and love of your home.

What to Expect During Your Newborn Photography Session
- A Relaxed and Comfortable Environment: Your baby's comfort and safety are my top priorities. Sessions are typically held in a warm, quiet studio in Canberra or at your home, where we can control the environment to keep your baby relaxed. I use soft blankets, props, and gentle posing techniques to ensure your baby feels secure and comfortable.
- Time and Patience: Newborn sessions can take anywhere from 2 to 4 hours. This allows plenty of time for feeding, changing, and soothing your baby. Patience is key, and there's no rush. The session is designed to be calm and stress-free, allowing us to capture those perfect moments.
- Parent and Sibling Involvement: While the focus is on the newborn, family photos are a wonderful addition. Including parents and siblings in the session can create beautiful, heartfelt images. We’ll take some time to capture these precious family moments as well.
- Baby-Led and Safe Posing: Every pose is guided by your baby's comfort and natural flexibility. I never force babies into positions they are uncomfortable with and every image is created with safety as the highest priority.
