Gentle in-home newborn photography to hold onto how it felt

You’re walking through the door, baby in your arms—and just like that, everything has changed. It’s surreal, beautiful, and a little overwhelming. The sleepless nights, the first cuddles, the quiet moments in between feeds… it’s the hardest, the happiest, and the most memorable season all at once. 

Your session is your way back—back to the way their tiny hand curled around your finger, the weight of them in your arms, the way they looked at you in those early days. A gentle pause to hold onto it all, before it moves quietly into the next chapter.
Let’s honour this time in the most gorgeous way.

Because they’ll only be this small once

Alexandra captured some incredible images of our family with our newborn. She is so professional and amazing at settling baby during the shoot. I loved that she provided gorgeous dresses/clothing options for both baby and mumma for the shoot, it just took the thinking out of it for me. I also appreciate her email follow up process during this very busy time for our family.

Newborn Photography Session

I'm here to see your family as you are, and to capture something real, beautiful, and important. I’m there for the craziness, the shyness, the tears, the wild joy - I never expect your kids to act perfectly. Get ready to hold each other a little tighter, maybe love each other a little louder, as we spend an afternoon together chasing light, soaking up the moment, and letting it all unfold (yes, I’ll be chasing your kids and gathering flowers with them too

Client Wardrobe

The Client Wardrobe is a thoughtfully curated collection of timeless pieces.

Soft, natural fabrics and DREAMY gowns ensure you look and feel incredible, with options to suit most sizes – plus a few sweet pieces for little ones. Every item has been selected to flatter, flow, and capture beautifully on camera, so you won’t need to lift a finger.

Complimentary for all sessions, it’s one less thing to worry about and one more way to feel your very best.

FAQs

+ WHAT IF MY BABY ARRIVES EARLY OR LATE?
That’s absolutely fine. I only take a limited number of newborn sessions each month to allow flexibility. Once your baby arrives, we’ll confirm or move our session date.

+ WHAT IF MY HOME ISN’T PICTURE-PERFECT?
Your home doesn’t need to be spotless or styled. I work with the natural light and guide you to the best spaces. Often, all we need is a cosy corner and a window.

+ WHAT IF MY BABY DOESN’T SLEEP?
I’ll be there to help settle your baby using gentle techniques I’ve learned over the years. We’ll have plenty of time to lull them to sleep—and if they stay awake, we’ll still capture beautiful, relaxed images of you together. There’s no pressure, just a calm, baby-led session at your pace.

+ CAN I BREASTFEED DURING THE SESSION?
Absolutely. Feeding, whether breastfeeding or bottle-feeding, is a beautiful part of your story.

+ WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO PHOTOGRAPH MY NEWBORN?
If you’re hoping for those sleepy, curled-up photos, I recommend scheduling your session for when your baby is between 7–10 days old. That said, if you’ve missed that window, don’t worry—I photograph newborns up to 3 months old. Each stage has its own magic, and we’ll capture it beautifully, just as it is.

When is the best time to book my maternity session?

I recommend booking your session in your second trimester to secure your preferred date and allow time for planning.

When is the best time to be photographed during pregnancy?

The ideal time is between 28–34 weeks. Your belly will be beautifully round, and you’ll still be feeling comfortable enough to move around and enjoy the experience.

back

Can I include my partner or children in the session?

Absolutely. These sessions can be just for you or shared with the people closest to you, your partner, your little ones, or both. It’s your story, and we’ll tell it your way.

back

Do you provide maternity dresses or should I bring my own?

You’ll have access to my curated Client Wardrobe, which includes a range of beautiful, flattering pieces for maternity. If you’d prefer to wear something of your own, I’ll help you style it so you feel confident and comfortable on the day.

back

What happens if it rain?

If it rains, we’ll simply reschedule. I always leave space for flexibility, so we can find another time that works.

Hi, I’m Alexandra

A Photographer, A Mum, A Memory Keeper

ENQUIRE NOW

I’m Alexandra, a Sydney-based photographer, a mum, and someone who knows just how fast the seasons of family life move.

For over 15 years, I’ve been capturing people through my lens — and after 7 years photographing weddings, it was becoming a mother that shifted everything. The early years with my son were the hardest and the most beautiful. I was there every day, but rarely in the photos. That realisation changed how I saw my work and my purpose in it.

Now, I photograph over 100 families each year and still fall in love with it every time. I’m here to create a space where you feel comfortable, supported, and truly seen. I’ll gently guide you through every step so you can simply show up, be with your family, and walk away with images that feel like you - and that your children will treasure forever.


These Early Days Deserve to Be Remembered Forever

Let's do this!

BOOK NOW

These early days are unlike anything else - raw, beautiful, and gone before you know it. You don’t need to feel perfectly ready; you just need to say yes to remembering this season. I’ll take care of the rest, guiding you through every step, from timing and best spot in your home to what to wear and how to prepare.
Sessions are limited each month, especially in the newborn window, so don’t leave it too late to reach out.
