Maternity and newborns
Newborn and maternity photographer for Logan, Beenleigh and the Gold Coast
The precious miracle of life, captured for a lifetime
Maternity and newborn sessions are $895 each, with every edited image, a sneak peek within 24 hours and 20 prints included. Newborns are best in the first 14 days at my Mount Warren Park studio, an easy drive from Logan, Beenleigh and the Gold Coast, and bumps from around 32 to 36 weeks, in the studio or outdoors.
$895 per session, everything included
How it works
Have a chat
Get in touch while you're expecting and I'll reply within a day. We'll plan your maternity session and pencil in those first 14 days for your newborn.
Lock in your date
A $50 deposit secures your session and comes off your package. I'll send you a secure link to pay it.
Session day
Relaxed and unhurried, with no clock watching. Newborn sessions are at my Mount Warren Park studio, where everything is ready for you.
Your photos
A sneak peek within 24 hours, then all your edited images (usually 50 to 60) and 20 prints at 6x8". Nothing more to pay.
I know from my own experience how fast time passes from pregnancy to the toddler years, and that drives my passion to create images that last a lifetime. Images that take us back to the fullness of a pregnant tummy, the yawn of a newborn baby, the smile of a teething toddler.
Maternity
Pregnancy is such an individual time and can affect us all in different ways (baby number 3 was the tester for me!). So I ask how you're feeling, how your body is responding and what season we're in, and we come up with the ideal time for your session. For some women that's 32 weeks, for others it's 36 and beyond. The main thing is that you're comfortable, so we can have a really enjoyable session.
Can you bring your other kids?
Absolutely! Do you have to? That's entirely up to you. We can chat about it when you book, and that'll help us decide on the style of your session.
Newborns
This is where I get my little newborn fix, the one that keeps me happy and stops me from driving a minivan! Newborn sessions are best done at 14 days and under. That's when we get those dreamy, sleepy images you can scroll through at 3am when your little person wants to play and you're contemplating the meaning of parenthood. (I promise you will sleep again... one day anyhow!)
Everything's ready at the studio
My Mount Warren Park studio has wraps, blankets and props for your newborn, and a wardrobe of maternity gowns for you, so you just need to show up and we can make the magic happen. Every newborn session includes family portraits, and portraits with older siblings, at no extra cost.
What to wear
- I have a wardrobe of maternity gowns you're welcome to wear, so there's no need to buy anything special.
- If you'd like to wear your own, a dress that hugs your bump shows it off beautifully. Long, flowing styles look gorgeous outdoors.
- Solid colours and soft patterns photograph better than busy prints and big logos.
- Baby doesn't need outfits. I have wraps, blankets and props at the studio.
- For family and sibling photos with baby, choose soft, muted colours rather than everyone in white. Gentle tones like oatmeal, sage, dusty pink and pale blue keep the focus on your little one.
- Wear something comfortable that's easy to feed in, and bring a spare outfit for you and baby, just in case!
Questions
When is the best time for maternity photos?
It depends on how you're feeling. For some women it's 32 weeks, for others it's 36 and beyond. We'll chat about how you and your bump are going and choose the right time.
When should we have newborn photos?
Newborn sessions are best done at 14 days and under. That's when we get those dreamy, sleepy images, so it's best to get in touch while you're still expecting.
Do I need to bring a gown?
No. I have a wardrobe of maternity gowns you're welcome to wear, and wraps, blankets and props for your newborn.
Can the rest of the family be in the photos?
Yes! Every newborn session includes family portraits, and portraits with older siblings, at no extra cost. Older kids are welcome at maternity sessions too.
Is there a discount if we book both?
Yes. Book maternity and newborn together and I'll take $100 off your newborn session.
How long does a session take?
As long as it needs to. Every session is tailored to you, so there's no clock watching. We keep going until I have the shots you'll love.
When will I see my photos?
You'll get a sneak peek within 24 hours. Your full gallery usually has 50 to 60 edited images, and they're all included.
Can I pay it off?
Absolutely. You can pay securely online by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, or spread the cost with Klarna. If a weekly or fortnightly plan suits you better, just ask.
A few favourites
Keep those tiny hands and feet too
I also make 3D hand and foot keepsakes in the same studio, framed with a plaque and ready in about four weeks. A photo from your session can go in the frame.
Hand and foot keepsakesJust want to thank you so much for the first class service and quality photos. Our shoot was so enjoyable and exciting. You knew exactly how to bring out the best shots for our family. Nothing was a bother or too hard, you were so accommodating. Look forward to our next shoot when next bub comes. So many treasured memories thanks to you.
