With a newborn baby and toddler in tow, anything you do can feel like a bit of a juggle. It would be a shame to miss out on marking this unique time, because of feeling overwhelmed about how to manage newborn photos at home with a toddler. So, if you’re in the newborn ‘daze’ and can’t get your head around how a photoshoot would go, but don’t want to miss the opportunity to record this special time as a family, never fear. Below are three things to know about my newborn photos at home with a toddler to put your mind at ease.

I truly am honoured and humbled any time a family trusts me with these precious memory 'seeds'. These first days and weeks with your newborn may seem small now, but over the years, with the proper care and attention needed in the early days, these memories will grow into the sturdy roots of your family tree.

Here’s a few tips to help you get ready for this special time, so we can get the most out of our time together….

It can be daunting as a new parent to get in photos with our babies. We are not usually at the height of our self-care and rejuvenating sleep, but many parents remark that seeing the way their baby cradled in their arms, brings back emotions and joy that can never be recaptured. There’s so many things that newborn photo shoots give you and your baby. Here’s just a few…

The whole point of family photos is to authentically celebrate who you are, not to create an ‘insta-worthy’ pic that looks like everyone else’s. Whatever your personal style, you want to look back on your pictures and say 'that's so us!' Here’s my tips on what to wear for your newborn photo session…

Is an in-home newborn session right for you? Or would you prefer to come to my natural light studio here in the Hawkesbury? To help you decide, here are some benefits of both in-home and studio sessions.

The first year of a baby’s life is amazing isn’t it?! They arrive in this world, tiny and new, needing complete help and nourishment. Yet, even in just a few months, right before our very eyes, they come into their own. These precious months, in between being a newborn and turning one, can often be forgotten in baby photography. But I love highlighting this sweet age.

A big, themed cake smash session is certainly fun, but often all the props can take away from the main star of the show - your beautiful baby! I just loved the creative challenge of this simple cake smash session - making it simple, but a ton of fun at the same time!

If you’re expecting a baby soon, and have had to postpone your newborn photography session because of the current health restriction, I understand that you might be feeling disappointed. But I want to reassure you that with lifestyle photography, ANY time is the perfect time to photograph your family…

Sometimes life can hand you some curveballs and surprises - some will be challenging and others will be joyous. The surprise of finding out your family is growing when you’re just getting used to being a mum can be filled with mixed feelings, and it’s one that I can personally relate to.

What could be better than photographing a beautiful newborn baby? Photographing TWO beautiful newborn babies of course! I’ve been photographing the Bennett family ever since big brother Flynn’s first birthday, and over the last four years the family has grown to include little brother Jett, and now newborn twins Frankee & Ollie.

Natural newborn photography at home has been a favourite of my clients for a while now. Photographing all those amazing little details - from the tiny little fingers and sweet little rosy lips, to the cute button nose and balls of fluff between their toes. These are the precious newborn details that will change all too quickly and need to be photographed to be remembered.

What better place to create the first photos of your new baby than in your own home where everyone feels relaxed and at ease, and the photos tell the true story of your family life.

Turning one is a big celebration and what better way to celebrate than by demolishing a delicious cake in style! I actually get a lot of inquiries about cake smash photography, and I always advise people that yes, it's a lot of fun, but let's also incorporate some family portraits as well.

Nothing brings me more joy than to see a new life enter this world, except of course when I personally know the family and can share in the excitement of welcoming their newest love.

It's always an honour for me to be asked to photograph a family's story as it's just beginning. That moment when 2 become 3, when a couple become parents, and life changes forever.

I was delighted when Weilin contacted me wanting to photograph her new family of three at Brandley's Head in Mosman Sydney - the location where she and Kane were married just three years earlier.

This fun little photography session of 6 month old Baby Zeke was part of this year's National Family Portrait Month, showcasing images of a Mother's bond with their children while raising funds for Beyond Blue.

I first met the Bennett family when little Flynn was turning 1 and we photographed his cake smash and family photos. I was over-the-moon excited when I found out their family was growing with the arrival of baby Jett.

Baby Zeke was born few weeks ago now and this photoshoot was all about documenting his first days at home and fitting in to family life (or rather family life changing to suit him!)
