What to Expect From Your Newborn Photography Session in Adelaide Hills

Bringing a new baby into the world is one of life’s most extraordinary moments — and capturing those fleeting early days is something you’ll never regret. If you’re considering a newborn photography session in Adelaide or the Adelaide Hills, here’s a little look at what the experience is like in my cozy home studio (or in the comfort of your own home), and what makes these sessions so meaningful.

📍 Studio Sessions: Cozy, Calm & Baby-Led

My Littlehampton studio is designed with new parents and tiny babies in mind. It’s calm, warm, and filled with soft natural light — perfect for capturing those sweet, sleepy newborn moments. The studio is stocked with newborn essentials like:

A heated space to keep baby comfortable
Wipes, nappies, and a change table
White noise to help settle baby
A powder room and toilet for your convenience
A comfy space for you to relax while I work gently with your little one

Studio sessions are perfect for those wanting a minimal, natural look with neutral tones, soft textures, and timeless results.

🏠 In-Home Sessions: Candid & Heartfelt

Prefer to stay in your own space? My in-home newborn sessions allow you to document this chapter right where it’s all happening — your baby's first home. These sessions are candid, warm, and emotional, focusing on connection and everyday moments. No need for a spotless house — a cozy couch, a bright window, or your bed is more than enough.

We’ll gently guide things based on how your baby is feeling. If they want cuddles, we do cuddles. If they’re wide awake, we capture their curious little expressions. Every session is baby-led and pressure-free.

🧺 What to Bring (Or Have Ready)

There’s very little you need to pack or prepare. For both session types, you’ll want to have:

Milk (breast or bottle)
A dummy/pacifier if you’re open to using one during the shoot
Any special outfits or heirloom pieces you’d like included
A relaxed mindset — these are slow, gentle sessions

🕰 When to Book a Newborn Session

The best time to photograph your baby is within the first 1–3 weeks, when they’re still sleepy and curled up. I recommend booking during your second or early third trimester to guarantee a spot — I only take a limited number of newborns each month to keep sessions flexible around birth dates.

💛 Why These Moments Matter

Newborn days pass in a haze of snuggles, night feeds, and wonder. You might not remember how tiny their toes were, the way their lashes curled, or how they fit perfectly into your hands. That’s what I’m here to capture — the quiet beauty of your new beginning.

Whether you're after a studio newborn photography session in Adelaide or a cozy, natural in-home shoot, you’ll walk away with images that bring you back to this chapter, forever.
