A newborn session at home in Auckland
Welcoming a Beautiful New Baby
Bringing home a new baby is one of life’s most exciting milestones. Those first few weeks pass incredibly quickly, and before you know it, your tiny newborn has already begun to change.
I visited this beautiful family in their Auckland home to celebrate the arrival of their newest little family member. Alongside timeless newborn portraits, we captured genuine moments between Mum, Dad, big brother and their beautiful new baby.
Every family is different, and my goal is always to create photographs that feel natural, relaxed and full of connection.
A calm, baby-led experience
We Work Around Your Baby
One of the questions I hear most often is:
“What happens if my baby doesn’t settle?”
The answer is simple: I work entirely around your baby.
There is never any rushing during your session. We allow plenty of time for feeding, cuddles, changing and settling so everyone can relax and enjoy the experience.
A calm environment helps create natural expressions and beautiful memories you’ll treasure for years to come.
Making space for siblings
Including the Whole Family
One of my favourite parts of every newborn session is photographing the relationships that are just beginning.
Watching an older sibling carefully cuddle their new baby brother or sister is something incredibly special to witness. These are often the photographs families tell me become their favourites years later.
Rather than expecting young children to sit perfectly still, I gently guide them through simple interactions that feel natural and fun. This creates genuine smiles, beautiful moments and photographs full of personality.
The connections that matter
Natural Family Moments
Alongside traditional newborn portraits, I also love capturing relaxed family photographs that tell the story of this season of life.
Whether it’s Mum holding her baby while sharing a quiet cuddle, Dad proudly looking down at his newest arrival or the whole family gathered together, these images celebrate the connection between everyone.
They’re simple, timeless and never go out of style.
Once we’ve captured your family together, we also spend time creating classic newborn portraits.
These gentle posed photographs highlight all the tiny details you’ll never want to forget: those little fingers, tiny toes and peaceful expressions.
By combining family photographs with beautiful newborn portraits, your gallery tells the complete story of welcoming your newest family member.
Thinking about your own newborn session?
Preserve These Precious First Moments
Newborn sessions are best photographed within the first 7–21 days, although beautiful images can still be created after this.
I offer posed newborn sessions in your home, as well as in-studio options. Every session is fully guided, with time for feeding, settling and cuddles, and you don’t need to worry about posing.
If you’re expecting a baby and would love to capture these precious first moments, I’d love to hear from you.
