Newborn Photography

 

There’s nothing quite like those first few weeks with your new baby... the tiny details, sleepy stretches, and the feeling of holding your whole world in your arms. Newborn photography is a beautiful way to preserve that fleeting time before they start to change and grow.

 

My newborn sessions are designed to be calm, gentle, and completely baby-led. The ideal time to photograph your little one is within the first 18 days after birth, when they are still sleepy, curled, and most comfortable in those sweet womb-like poses. However, I happily welcome babies up to four weeks new, as every family’s journey unfolds differently.

 

Because babies arrive on their own timeline, I reserve newborn bookings based on your due date. Once your baby is earth-side, you simply send me a quick message and we’ll confirm a date within that beautiful newborn window. This ensures your session is secured, no matter if your little one arrives early, right on time, or fashionably late.

 

I take only a limited number of newborn bookings each month to keep every session unhurried and relaxed, so I always recommend reaching out early in your pregnancy. If your baby has already arrived, please still get in touch, I’ll always do my best to fit you in.

 

Your session will take place in my natural-light studio, thoughtfully prepared with soft wraps, timeless props, and neutral tones that let your baby be the focus. Feeds, cuddles, and breaks are all part of the process, we follow your baby’s rhythm, never a clock.

 

To confirm your booking, a $50 non-refundable deposit is required, with the remaining balance due on the day of your session.

A newborn session is one of the most meaningful gifts you can give, not just for now, but for generations to come. Gift registry options are also available, allowing friends and family to contribute toward your session for your baby shower or arrival celebration.

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.

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.
