What To Expect During Your Newborn Session

Welcoming a newborn into your life is a whirlwind of emotions, and the thought of a photography session might feel like just another thing to worry about. If you’re a new mum in Perth, preparing for your newborn photography session with me, I want to help you feel calm, confident, and excited. This session is designed to be gentle, relaxed, and all about capturing those tiny, fleeting moments without any added stress.

Let’s walk through what you can expect on the day, so you know exactly how it will flow and what you need to bring (spoiler: not much!).

What You Need to Bring

One of the best parts about your newborn session is that you don’t have to overthink packing a bag full of props or outfits. I provide everything your baby might need, including:

• A variety of outfits, wraps, and headbands in soft, natural fabrics

• Little accessories that add charm without overwhelming

• A calm, cosy environment set up to keep your baby comfortable

  
  

For you, there’s no need to bring a wardrobe or worry about what to wear. A full client wardrobe is available, offering a range of styles and sizes from approximately size 8 to 18. Whether you prefer something simple and elegant or a bit more playful, you’ll find something that suits your style and makes you feel beautiful.

If you want to bring your own clothes, opt for something simple and neutral. Avoid busy patterns or bright colours that might distract from your baby. Soft fabrics and gentle colours work best and help keep the focus on your little one.

How the Session Flows

Newborn sessions are very much baby-led. This means the pace is set by your baby’s needs, not the clock. There’s plenty of time for feeding, cuddles, and settling in between shots. You won’t feel rushed or pressured to “perform” - the goal is to create a relaxed atmosphere where your baby feels safe and comfortable.

I will gently guide you through the session, helping with poses and positioning so you never feel awkward or unsure. Whether it’s holding your baby just right or finding the perfect angle, you’ll have support every step of the way.

The studio itself is in Trigg, Perth. It's light, bright, and designed to feel natural and calming. It’s a space where you and your baby can feel at home, making the experience enjoyable and memorable.

You can expect plenty of soft music, warm blankets, and a calm vibe throughout. The session usually lasts around two hours, giving enough time to capture a variety of images without any pressure.

Why This Experience Matters

Newborn photography is about more than just pictures. It’s about capturing the quiet, tender moments that pass so quickly. I absolutely love for working with newborns and creating a calm, cosy environment that feels like a little sanctuary away from the busy world.

This session is designed to be a positive, enjoyable experience for you and your baby. It’s a chance to pause, breathe, and celebrate this new chapter in your life with images you’ll treasure forever.
