In my gallery, you’ll find a collection of heartfelt moments captured during maternity, newborn, baby, family and cake smash sessions. Each photograph reflects my dedication to creating beautiful, timeless portraits that families can cherish forever. Whether it's the gentle innocence of a newborn or the radiant glow of an expectant mother, I strive to capture the essence of each moment with artistry and care.
Pregnancy is a beautiful chapter filled with love, hope, and anticipation. As a photographer, my passion is to capture these moments so you can relive them for years to come. Every bump, every glow, every loving glance deserves to be celebrated.
The first few weeks of your baby’s life are a whirlwind, and those precious little details—tiny fingers, rosy cheeks, and sleepy smiles—change so quickly. A newborn photoshoot freezes time, allowing you to hold onto those memories forever.
Your baby’s first birthday is a milestone worth celebrating in style! A cake smash session is the perfect way to capture the joy, giggles, and messy fun of this special occasion. Let’s create photos that will bring a smile to your face for years to come.
Children grow and change so quickly, and every stage of their development is worth celebrating. From a baby’s first gummy smile to a child’s adventurous spirit, professional photography ensures these precious moments are never forgotten.
When is the Best Time to Photograph a Newborn?
THE BLOG
The Golden Window: 5-14 Days Old
The best time to photograph a newborn is typically between 5 and 14 days old. During this period, babies are still very sleepy and flexible, which allows photographers to pose them in those adorable curled-up positions reminiscent of their time in the womb. Their frequent naps and pliability make it easier to capture those serene, angelic shots with minimal disruption.
