Studio Newborn Sessions- slow, connected memories.
I create a space for glorious family stories to be told, with soulful, connected photographs. My home studio, located in Hallett cove, is a beautiful, warm and relaxed space, filled with natural light and all the things you need to feel welcomed and supported during your photoshoot.
All my studio family and newborn photography sessions are family and baby-led. Meaning, I focus on your family interacting with your new baby, quiet moments of your baby in each parent's arms, natural baby-led posing and the beautiful chaos of older siblings.
Each session is relaxed & calm, we will chat & pause when you need a reset or when your baby needs a feed or a settling cuddle. While capturing all life's precious moments, tiny fingers wrapped around yours, witnessing your heart growing during these first few magical days earth side.
You deserve to be in the photos too. So let's bottle up your newborn bubble, you know you'll miss, with you in the frame - no regrets.
They'll never be so little again
My approach to a calm, baby-led newborn session
Welcoming you into my home studio, I'll have lightly styled areas perfect for cuddling your baby, a posing bean bag set with blankets & wraps for your baby’s naturally posed photos. I will capture all the tiny details, the way their body melts into yours & cuddles with their big brother or sister. I like to be very hands on during your session, so you don't have to lift a finger. I will wrap, settle & position your baby for minimal movement, keeping baby calm & relaxed throughout your session.
The bubble you know you'll miss
Lets bottle it up
The first few days & weeks after welcoming your baby can be overwhelming, big love, big feelings, an intensity that takes your breath away.
This is what I capture, the tiny details, the foggy days & the quiet moments you'll barely remember. I love to focus not only on baby but on YOU, the way you instinctively hush & rock, kiss the top of their head, knowing exactly what to do.
I'll show you what you might not see in yourself yet, a chance to bottle it up, celebrate their arrival & how magic it all felt.
Testimonials
Amelia
“She is a natural when it came to soothing and comforting bubs. Her calm, gentle demeanour had a positive effect on bubs and this is reflected in the photos. As a result, bubs did not cry during the entire photoshoot!”
Lisa & Daniel
“We absolutely love our photos! Mel is so amazing to work with and the kids had lots of fun doing the photos. Co-ordinating three kids, two adults and a baby is no easy feat, but Mel captured our family perfectly, even getting every one looking and smiling. Such an amazing experience every time .”
