I understands that the first days with your newborn are precious and irreplaceable. To capture those sleepy, curled-up poses, it’s best to book your newborn session within the first 7-10 days after birth.
Every session is tailored to ensure your baby is safe, comfortable, and beautifully photographed.
The cozy blankets, soft wraps, and the warm natural light of the studio create the perfect setting. All you need to do is sit back and relax while I work my magic. I will guide you through the process, from scheduling the session during your pregnancy to selecting your favourite photos for albums or wall art.

Newborn Photography:
The best time for your maternity session is between 32 to 36 weeks—when your bump is beautifully round, and you feel ready.
Whether you prefer the beach, a golden field, or the intimate setting of our studio, each location brings its own magic to your photos.
You’re welcome to bring your partner and little ones to join in the session, making it a special family moment. My maternity sessions are about more than just photos—they’re about celebrating your unique journey and the anticipation of welcoming your baby. From providing styling tips to helping you choose from the client's wardrobe, I ensure you look and feel your best during this precious time.
