A newborn photography session at home


Sweet Noah was in a rush to meet his adoring parents, and I was so privileged to be one of the first to meet this little man. In fact, these images were used to introduce Noah to his extended family, and it's an honour I will just never get sick of.


We used two rooms only for this session in their Geelong home and primarily Noah's bedroom which hadn't even finished yet, given his early arrival. Proof that we don't need much to make magic in a session in your home.


Noah is dressed from my newborn wardrobe and wraps, and we also included a beautiful blanket in the session, a gift from a loved one at his baby shower. I'm sure seeing Noah in this blanket when they hadn't been able to meet him yet filled a heart with joy.
