Frequently Asked Questions
NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY
When is the best time to book a newborn photography session in Brisbane?
It’s best to book your newborn session during pregnancy, ideally in your second or early third trimester. This ensures availability around your due date, and your session date will be confirmed once your baby arrives.
How old should my baby be for a newborn session?
The ideal time for newborn photography is between 5 and 14 days old, when babies are still very sleepy and comfortable with gentle posing.
That said, I also photograph babies up to 5 weeks old, adapting the style to suit their age and comfort.
What happens if my baby arrives early or late?
That’s completely fine. I only accept a limited number of newborn bookings each month, allowing flexibility around due dates. Once your baby is born, we’ll confirm or adjust your session date as needed.
Where are you located?
My private photography studio is located in Rothwell, North Brisbane, welcoming families from Brisbane, the Moreton Bay area, the Sunshine Coast and surrounding suburbs.
Is your studio safe for newborns?
Absolutely. With over 16 years of experience, newborn safety is always my top priority.
The studio is warm, calm, clean and baby-friendly, and all sessions are baby-led to ensure your little one is comfortable and safe at all times.
Do you provide props and outfits for newborn photos?
Yes. The studio is fully equipped with a curated collection of wraps, outfits, bonnets, headbands and props.
You don’t need to bring anything — just your baby and essentials like nappies or milk.
Can parents and siblings be included in the photos?
Yes, absolutely. Parents and siblings are welcome in your newborn session, and immediate family is included in all packages. Extended family can be added for a small additional fee if desired.
What if my baby doesn’t sleep or is unsettled?
That’s completely normal. Newborn sessions are always baby-led, with plenty of time for feeding, cuddling and settling. There’s no rush — we work at your baby’s pace to capture beautiful, natural moments.
How long does a newborn session last?
Most newborn sessions last around 2–3 hours. This allows time for multiple setups while keeping the experience calm, relaxed and stress-free.
When will I receive my photos?
Your online proof gallery will be ready within 7–10 days.
Once you select your favourites, your fully edited images will be delivered within two weeks.
Do you offer Afterpay or payment plans?
Yes. Afterpay and flexible payment options are available to help make your investment more manageable.
MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY
When should I schedule my maternity session?
The best time for maternity photos is between 28 and 34 weeks, when your bump is beautifully defined and you’re still feeling comfortable.
What should I wear for my maternity session?
You’re welcome to wear your own outfits or choose from my exclusive client closet, featuring over 200 designer gowns, robes and drapes.
I’ll guide you in selecting pieces that flatter your body and reflect your personal style.
Do you offer outdoor maternity photography?
Yes. I offer both studio and outdoor maternity sessions. I can recommend beautiful natural locations around Brisbane and the Moreton Bay area that suit your vision.
Can my partner and children join the session?
Of course. Maternity sessions are about celebrating your journey into motherhood, and partners and children are always welcome to be part of the experience.
Do you offer a maternity + newborn package?
Yes. My Maternity & Newborn Experience (also known as the BellyBaby package) includes both sessions, bonus images and a gift card toward a future family session.
GENERAL QUESTIONS
How far in advance should I book?
For maternity and newborn sessions, I recommend booking 2–3 months in advance, especially for weekends or peak seasons.
Can I purchase additional digital images later?
Yes. Once your proof gallery is delivered, you’ll have the option to upgrade your package or purchase additional images individually.
Do you offer gift cards?
Yes. Gift vouchers are a thoughtful way to celebrate pregnancy, a newborn or a growing family. They’re available for any amount or session type.
Do you offer mini sessions?
I offer limited edition mini sessions throughout the year, including Christmas and Mother’s Day. These are announced first on social media and via my newsletter.
What makes your studio different from other Brisbane photographers?
With over 16 years of experience, a background in fashion design, and a deep love for storytelling, my sessions are calm, creative and fully guided.
Every detail is thoughtfully planned to create a safe, luxurious and emotionally meaningful experience for mothers and families.
