As a dedicated photographer, I truly love the beauty of newborns in those early days. I focus on relaxed, natural sessions, creating stunning, neutral-toned images before your little one turns one month old, so we can catch those adorable sleepy moments. Whether you prefer an outdoor setting or the comfort of your home, I’ll work with you to find the perfect location. To get started, a deposit to secure your booking is needed along with your due date, and we’ll plan the session once your baby arrives.

After your session is complete....
SORTING, EDITING, RETOUCHING & GALLERY DELIVERY
After your session, I carefully sort through all the images to select the most natural and genuine moments. Then I begin the editing process - soft retouching, balanced tones, and a clean, timeless finish.Your proof gallery is usually ready within 2–3 days for you to view and select your favourites. Once you’ve made your choices and let me know you’re ready, your final, fully edited gallery is delivered within another 2–3 days.The entire process is typically completed within a week.Sometimes, the most meaningful photos are the ones that feel the most ordinary!The quiet glances, the genuine smiles, the in-between moments.That’s where the magic often lives.Each final image is edited with care to reflect your family just as you are...relaxed, connected, and real.

What to Wear for Your Session
Keep it simple, comfortable and coordinated without matching too much.
Colours
• Soft neutrals always photograph beautifully
• Cream, beige, tan, earthy greens, browns, muted pinks
• Avoid bright reds, logos or busy patterns
Textures
• Linen, cotton, knits and flowy materials look beautiful
• Avoid shiny or stiff fabrics
Before Your Newborn Session
Newborn sessions are best within the first 2 to 3 weeks, but older babies are always welcome.
Feeding + settling
Feed baby right before the session if possible.
If baby needs feeding or cuddles during the session, we pause. No rush.
What to bring
• A dummy if baby uses one
• Extra bottles if bottle feeding
• A spare outfit for parents (just in case)
I provide all wraps, blankets and props.
Your session will be slow, calm and baby-led.

PREVIOUS NEWBORN SESSIONS
SUZETTE WILD
We chose Ellise for our maternity and newborn photographs after I’d seen numerous people I knew use her over the years. Ellise is such a warm person that our family instantly felt relaxed, and that feeling was shining through in our photographs with so many genuine, natural laughs, smiles and just loving moments captured. Ellise’s style is so versatile that her ability to capture so many different angles, poses and backgrounds at the one location means we’ve been able to hang multiple photographs from each shoot within our home without that feeling like they’re all the same, but mostly we truly felt like we received value for money. We can’t wait for Ellise to photograph our family again, her work is stunning.
