“The love that we felt for our baby was bubbling around the room and Hanna captured every second of it in some amazing photos.”
Nadine - 2024
Welcome
Those first sleepy days deserve to be remembered forever.
There is nothing quite like the first week with your newborn.
The way they curl into you. The way their whole hand wraps around one of your fingers. The way your family looks at each other.. forever changed.
With five years and hundreds of newborn sessions behind me, I've learnt that the secret to beautiful images is a relaxed family. Which is why I take care of every detail …so that you don't have to.
My newborn sessions are held in my cosy studio in Gledswood Hills, and they are designed to feel exactly the way that week feels: slow, tender, and completely unhurried. You bring your baby. I take care of everything else.
Sessions begin with beautiful family portraits — capturing the three (or four, or five) of you together — before I transition into gentle solo portraits of your newborn wrapped in soft knitwear, swaddles and wraps from my curated collection. And for mama, the Client Closet means you'll always have something beautiful to wear. And every session includes a collection of beautiful prints, so your images have a home from day one.
What to expect on the day
The Experience
From the moment you walk through the door, your only job is to relax and soak it all in.
01
Settle in
Before your session, you'll receive my detailed newborn preparation guide covering everything from how to feed before you arrive, to what to dress bub in for the drive over.
By the time you walk through the door, you'll know exactly what to expect.
Arrive, pick your beautiful dress and newborn knitwear, and let baby get comfortable in the warm studio. There's no rush. We move entirely at your baby's pace.
02
Family portraits first
We start with everyone together.. your partner, older siblings, and of course, you.
Don't worry if your toddler needs time to warm up or doesn't feel like cooperating. This happens all the time and I’ve got you mama. Toddlers are my speciality!
Some of the most beautiful, most real images come from those in-between moments.
03
Solo Newborn Portraits
Once the family shots are done, I take over while you sit back with a delicious coffee and some light refreshments.
The studio is warm and calm, your baby is gently wrapped and settled into a soft, dreamy position.
This is your moment to simply breathe and watch your baby be adored. No rushing, no hovering required.
04
Gallery Delivered With Love
Once editing is complete, I'll send you a full proofing gallery to browse in your own time.
No rushing, no pressure.
Just you, a cup of tea, and all the time you need to fall in love with your images.
Your session includes beautiful prints, and additional wall art and albums are available to order from your gallery too.
My Style
Natural. Timeless. Completely yours.
My approach to newborn photography is guided by one thing: capturing your baby exactly as they are in these fleeting first days.
No buckets, no costumes, no forced poses.
Just your beautiful, perfectly new baby wrapped in soft textures, held in gentle light.
Natural newborn portraits guided by light.
Curated knitwear, wraps and swaddles for baby, and beautiful gowns from the Client Closet for mama.
Family and sibling portraits included.
Warm, relaxed studio in Gledswood Hills.
Sessions led entirely by baby . Never rushed.
Beautiful prints included in every package.

Cherish Package Exclusive Add On
The Fresh 48
Your very first hours, documented forever
I've photographed hundreds of babies over the last five years. By the time most of them come to my studio, they've already changed so much from those very first days. I know how hard it is to leave the house in those early hours, and I know how quickly that newborn bubble fades.
So for my Fresh 48 sessions, I come to you.
The iconic pink and blue hospital blankets. The ID tags. The dry skin on their tiny toes. Mum in her robe. Slippers by the bed. Those hazy first hours.. captured forever.
This is less about perfect poses and more about documenting those first precious moments between you, your partner, and your brand new baby. Raw, real, and completely beautiful.
Then, once you've settled into your new role as a mother, you'll come into my studio for your full newborn session. It really is the best of both worlds.
The Fresh 48 is an exclusive part of my Cherish package — and because I only take on a limited number each month, spots are rare. If this speaks to you, please reach out early in your pregnancy to secure your place.

"The newborn session was such a wonderful time as a first time mum — Hanna made us feel so relaxed and taken care of. A lovely feeling when you're in the newborn trenches. She perfectly captured our little family. I'm so glad we did it."

What families are saying
"She was absolutely amazing with our toddler and newborn — patient, kind, and completely stress-free. Her studio is calm, welcoming, and perfectly set up for families with little ones. I am so excited to receive our gallery."
— Laura B.
"Every single detail has been thought out — the studio space, the client wardrobe, the toys for the kids, even a coffee so we could relax while she did the solo newborn shoot. It was so perfect. I wish we'd done our last newborn photos here."
— Nicole
"Hanna was so patient and helpful when soothing our baby to get her in the perfect positions. My partner and I are not confident in front of a camera and her directions felt so natural. We cannot wait to hang our images in our home."
— Brooke G.

Everything You Need To Know
-
I recommend booking during your second trimester.
The best window for newborn photography is within the first 10 days after birth, so having your session locked in well in advance means you're ready to go the moment baby arrives.
-
Please allow up to 2 hours.
Newborn sessions are entirely baby-led, which means we take breaks for feeding, settling and cuddles as needed.
There is absolutely no rushing, this is a slow, gentle experience for all of you
-
For mama, you're welcome to browse and borrow from the Client Closet which is a curated collection of beautiful gowns and outfits available exclusively to my clients.
For bub I have a collection of beautiful hand knitted outfits for you to choose their outfit from, or you are welcome to dress them in something special to you.
For the rest of the family, I'll send you a detailed style guide when you book, full of easy, flattering ideas to take the guesswork out completely.
-
Absolutely! Family and sibling portraits are a natural part of every newborn session.
-
This is completely normal and I have five years of experience helping babies relax.
The studio is warm, calm and unhurried, and I know all the tricks for settling even the most unsettled newborns.
My preparation guide also walks you through exactly how to set your baby up for the best possible session. Its the little things that make a big difference.
Please don't stress, I’ve got you mama
-
Honestly? This is my favourite part of the job. Toddlers are my speciality.
I know how to read them, distract them, and bring them out of their shell, even the shy ones.
Your toddler doesn't need to perform.
They just need to be themselves, and I'll do the rest.
-
Every session includes beautiful 5×7 prints of the images that you choose from your gallery
Additional wall art and albums are also available to order if you'd like to go further.
-
The Fresh 48 is an exclusive in-hospital documentary session, available as part of my Cherish package.
I come to you in the first 48 hours after birth to capture those raw, real, unrepeatable first moments before you've even left the hospital.
Because spots are very limited, I recommend reaching out early in your pregnancy to secure yours
-
My studio is in Gledswood Hills, in Sydney's South West
Full details and parking instructions are included in your booking confirmation.
Newborn sessions book out before baby arrives.
The ideal window for newborn photography is within the first 10 days of birth when babies are still curled up, sleepy and new
Because this window is so short, I recommend booking during your second trimester if you can. But please don't let timing stop you from reaching out. If you're further along, or baby has already arrived, get in touch anyway. I will always do my best to make it work.
Securing your spot early just means one less thing to think about when you're counting down the days
