October newborn bookings now open — most mums book after their 12-week scan
packages & pricing
let's get to it!
Hey, beautiful tired human! ☕❤️
Let’s keep it real: those first weeks are pure magic… and total survival mode. Baby spew on your shoulder? Mascara mysteriously ending up on your eyebrows because you're so exhausted you can't tell lashes from brows? Turning up with odd socks because who has time to match? Yep — I've been there. I was an absolute mess when I first became a mum.
No judgement here. Ever. Barefoot for the win — shoes off, socks optional, just come as you are.
We blend the best of both worlds for you: soft, timeless posed shots (those classic wrapped baby portraits you love) + natural, lifestyle moments (the genuine snuggles and family interactions that feel like you). Why choose one style when we can seamlessly mix them in your studio session for a unique collection that tells your whole story?
No stiff poses, no pressure to look perfect — just you, your baby, and a whole lot of chill so we can freeze those moments you'll treasure forever.
(And when your little one grows into a toddler or big kid, we can capture the next joyful chapter too!)
Ready to capture your perfectly imperfect newborn story?

“I don't usually like being in photos, but I love how Jess captured me with my baby. A precious moment that I'm proud to display on my walls!"
~ Kylie Hillman
families
As a mum, I know family life isn't always picture-perfect. From meltdowns to grumpy moods, these moments are what make your family uniquely yours. When we're together, those moments transform into something magical.
I create a relaxed space for you to be yourselves, capturing genuine interactions along with gently guided shots.
With a variety of packages available, we’ll find the perfect fit for your family.

Still feeling nervous? You're not alone.
Instant confirmation when you book online.
Almost every family tells me the same thing before their session —
“We’re awkward in photos.”
And almost every family leaves saying,
“That was so much easier than we expected.”
You don’t need to know how to pose.
You don’t need a “perfect” baby. You don’t need to feel confident. That’s my job.
I gently guide you through every step so you can relax, slow down, and simply enjoy this season. Newborn sessions are best booked during pregnancy, as availability is limited each month.
