THE NEWBORN EXPERIENCE 

Book your session

High-end newborn photography for babies, beginnings, and the beautiful little details

You’ve wait so long to hold them – to see their face, to kiss their cheeks, and breathe them in.

In the thick of tiredness and all-consuming love, it passes by in a blur you can’t get back. 

One minute you’re folding tiny onesies and counting down the days to meet them.

The next, you’re packing those same outfits away because they’ve already been outgrown.

That’s the thing about newborns: they’re tiny and sleepy for the shortest time. 

Your session with them is your chance to bottle it up, to celebrate their arrival, and to always remember how magical it felt when their body melted into yours. 

THEY’LL NEVER BE SO LITTLE AGAIN

"Sophie was a professional and creative photographer who is amazing with people and children. Can't recommend her enough."

Michael and Melani

Your newborn session is a love letter to the early days

WHAT TO EXPECT 

THE NEWBORN EXPERIENCE 

The newborn phase is a rollercoaster: big love, big feelings, and an intensity that takes your breath away.

My role is to hold space for you through it all, creating a calm, relaxed session where you can simply be with your baby.

Whether it’s your first child or your fifth, these sessions are about tenderness, connection, and the tiny details that your phone just can’t capture. 

Due to high demand, dates book out well in advance – it’s best to secure your session well before baby’s due date.

FAQs

When should I book my newborn session? +

Newborns are best photographed in the first 1–3 weeks, when they’re still tiny and sleepy. Sessions can take place up to 6 weeks, but older newborns tend to be more alert and awake, which leads to a slightly different experience and outcome – both are beautiful in their own way.

Can siblings or other family members join the session? +

Yes. Newborn sessions are designed for your newborn, their siblings, and parents to be included. It’s a beautiful way to capture the whole family welcoming your newest arrival.

Can our dog join? +

Absolutely – furry family members are always welcome. Just let me know ahead of time so I can plan accordingly.

When will I receive my images? +

You’ll receive your private online gallery 3-4 weeks after your session.

How long do newborn sessions last? +

Newborn sessions are intentionally slow and relaxed, usually lasting 1.5–2 hours, allowing plenty of time for feeding, settling, and cuddles.

What is the client wardrobe? +

It’s a collection of carefully chosen dresses, children’s clothing, and newborn pieces available for your session. Everything photographs beautifully and is meant to make your life easier. Families often tell me it’s one of the best parts of working with me, and it saves them hundreds (or thousands) of dollars.

HEY, I’M SOPHIE 

ONE OF SYDNEY’S MOST SOUGHT-AFTER FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHERS

With over 20 years of experience and thousands of sessions behind me, I’ve built a community of families who come back year after year (the biggest compliment I could ever receive).

For me, it all starts with connection. I approach every session with a deep understanding of what matters most to the families I photograph, and a profound respect for the magic of motherhood.

From the moment you book, through styling and preparation, to the shoot itself and the final delivery of your images, I’m here to make the experience seamless, calm, and truly unforgettable. My goal is for you to feel completely cared for and to walk away with photographs you’ll love for a lifetime.


LET’S BOTTLE UP YOUR NEWBORN BUBBLE. NO REGRETS.

ENQUIRE NOW

I often hear the regret of mothers who wish they had captured it, wish they had got in the photos, wish the tiny details existed outside of their fading memory.

Those first few weeks are big, tiring, exhilarating, and emotional.

But when it’s all said and done, your gallery will be your lighthouse back to the beauty of it all.

The newness. The tininess. The bubble you know you’ll miss.

You deserve to be in the photos, too.
