A newborn photography session at home


Big sister Isla was on hand for sister duties, as well as being my second shooter with her fabulous pink camera, at this Melbourne home session.


While the focus was very much on the new arrivals, identical brothers Blake and Jaxon, their siblings play a very important part in home sessions given that is where a family is made and complete, together (along with dog Billie too!).


We used only two locations within the home for this session and took our time - almost three hours - to allow for everyone to be relaxed, comfortable and happy - or sleepy in the case of the boys.


The twins are dressed from my newborn wardrobe and wraps, lay in my vintage bassinet and mother Kayla wears a dress from my client wardrobe.
