Newborn Photography
When a new baby joins the family, it’s such a magical time for everyone.
But those first few weeks pass in a blissful blur of feeding, crying, cuddles and aimlessly watching your baby sleep.
And in an instant, your tiny little newborn baby is a chubby 6-month-old.
Newborn photography is a beautiful way to document your baby’s ever-changing tiny features.
Those perfect little fingers and toes, the chubby little cheeks, even the minuscule milk spots and peeling skin.
All the perfect tiny newborn features that, within weeks, will change forever.
About Your Newborn Photography Session
During your newborn’s photography session I’ll capture precious moments between you and your baby.
The best time for a newborn photography session is within 3 weeks of baby’s arrival. This is when they are sleepiest so it’s easier to get those cute squishy poses.
Before your baby’s newborn photography session
We’ll chat to discuss the style of photography you like, what will go with your home’s decor and the colours you prefer.
The cost of your newborn session
A newborn session fee is $150.
The session goes between 1.5-3 hours depending on how settled your baby is.
The session fee includes:
- Pre-session consult to plan your baby’s photos
- The in-studio newborn session
- Use of all props and accessories
- A gallery reveal and design appointment.
Digital collections start at $695.
Print collections and albums start at $750 and matching digitals are included.
Your Baby’s Newborn Session
When you arrive I’ll have a few set-ups ready in your chosen colours.
We’ll start with photos of parents and baby, each parent with baby, siblings with baby and the whole family.
Then you can relax on the couch, watch Netflix or have a nap while I work my newborn baby magic.
I’m yet to meet a baby I couldn’t settle!
Why Book a Newborn Session?
Because newborn photographs aren’t just for parents and grandparents
These photos will one day be a treasured keepsake for your baby.
Photos get passed down through generations as a reminder of who our family is.
And just like I reminisce over my (now adult) children’s newborn photos, so will you.
I can’t wait to hear all about your beautiful baby.
Cute Newborn Baby Photos
Once your baby arrives, you’ll have so many better things to do then think about finding a Brisbane newborn photographer. So, the best time to start planning your newborn photography session is during the last few months of your pregnancy.
My newborn photography studio is located in Lawnton, just 25km north of the Brisbane CBD.
Absolutely. In fact, I encourage parents and children to be a part of the newborn photography session. After all, a new baby brother or sister is just as exciting for siblings. It’s also a beautiful memento for parents of those early days of baby’s arrival.
To prepare your newborn baby for their photography session I recommend dressing baby in loose clothing. This helps avoid marks on their soft and delicate skin.
If possible, please hold off feeding baby until you arrive at my Brisbane studio. This helps to get baby nice and milk drunk and settled for their session.
A typical newborn session lasts anywhere from 1.5 hours to 3 hours. This allows time for parents and sibling photos as well as baby. It also gives time for settling, changing and feeding baby if necessary.
Yes. I have digital collections but a large part of the service I provide is offering my clients professionally crafted albums, framed prints, canvases and prints. All the products I offer are of the utmost quality to ensure the images I create are produced the way they are intended.
Yes! Absolutely. Your baby’s health and safety are of utmost importance to me so I make sure my vaccinations are current.
The best time for your baby’s newborn photography is within the first few weeks when they are at their tiniest. The best time is between 7 days and 21 days.
Nope. Although your baby is a little older and not as tiny as a newborn, you can still capture beautiful baby photos at any age. Just get in touch with me to chat.
Yes. I’ve been working as a professional photographer for over 25 years. I’m an experienced baby whisperer, baby cuddler and swaddler. When I’m not photographing newborns, you’ll find me cuddling and photographing my new granddaughter 🙂
The session fee is $150 and includes the studio session, my skill and use of wraps, accessories and props.
You don’t need to worry about baby as I have a studio full of wraps to use for your baby.
When it come to parents and kids, try and wear non-wrinkly fabric, neutral colours and avoid patterns and logos. This will help your photographs remain timeless over the years.
My print collections and albums containing 10 fine art photographs and matching digitals start at $750.
My digital collections start at $695.
As a guideline clients usually spend between $1200 and $3000 on newborn prints and artwork for their home.

Meet Your Photographer
Hi there! I’m Alison.
Mum of two, doting Nanny to a beautiful granddaughter, crazy dog lady, baby-whisperer and cuddler, and your newborn photographer.
And I love photographing babies and their families.
When you welcome a baby into the family, it’s such a magical time.
I know this because in January 2024, we welcomed our first grandchild into our home. And we are absolutely smitten with her.
You spend hours cuddling your newborn, staring endlessly at the beautiful, tiny human you’ve created. Newborn photography is a way to freeze those early weeks, so you’ll always remember just how tiny your baby was.
And newborn photos aren’t just for parents.
These photos are passed down to your children, so they can look back on a time they don’t even remember.
Photos are our history. Our story.
I hope to meet you, and your gorgeous newborn baby soon.
