Melbourne In Home Newborn Session. A newborn baby photographed with their parents.

Welcoming a new baby into your family is one of the most special moments in your life. Those early weeks pass in a blur of newborn cuddles, sleepy smiles, and endless love (not to mention sleepless nights). As a Melbourne newborn photographer, my goal is to capture these moments in the most natural and meaningful way possible, right in the comfort of your own home.

Your Home is the Perfect Backdrop for Newborn Photos

No need for a Pinterest perfect home or a huge space, one good window is all I need to create beautiful images. Most of our session will probably take place in the master bedroom, keeping things simple and relaxed. There’s no need to stress about tidying up (I promise, I’ll move what’s needed to make the space work), and you can focus on soaking in this beautiful stage of life.

Being at home means you can truly be yourselves. Your baby stays in their natural environment, your family can settle in comfortably, and your session unfolds at your own pace. No rushing out the door, no packing bags, no timing feeds or driving in the car, just a relaxed, love filled experience where your newborn is happiest: home!

A Safe, Comfortable Environment for Your Baby

Your home is the safest place for your newborn, free from the germs and overstimulation of a studio. There’s no need to bundle up and venture out into the unpredictable Melbourne weather, whether it’s scorching hot or pouring rain, we stay warm and comfortable inside.

I take a baby led approach to posing, ensuring your little one is never forced into anything unnatural. If they need a feed, a cuddle, or a break, we go with the flow because newborn photography should feel just as gentle and organic as those first weeks of parenthood.

Making It Easier for Siblings and Pets

Newborn photography isn’t just about your baby, it’s about your whole family embracing this new chapter together. In home sessions allow older siblings to take part naturally, jumping in for cuddles when they’re ready and retreating to their own space when they need a break. This is their home, their comfort zone, and it makes the experience much more enjoyable for them.

And let’s not forget the fur babies! Pets are a big part of the family, and at home, they can be included in a way that feels natural and effortless.

A Relaxed, Unscripted Approach to Newborn Photography

There’s no pressure to have everything perfect. No bright studio lights, no stiff poses, just you, your baby, and the love that fills your home. My style is all about connection, emotion, and real life moments. Whether it’s a sleepy newborn stretch, a tender sibling kiss, or the way you cradle your baby in your arms, these are the details you’ll want to remember.

Newborn sessions typically take place within the first few weeks, but I’m flexible! Every baby and family is different, and I’m here to capture your story when the time feels right.

If you’re expecting a little one and want to document those early days in a way that feels true to you, let’s chat about an in home newborn session in Melbourne. I’d love to create something beautiful and meaningful for your family.
