NEWBORN
They’re only this little once.
Newborn sessions are about slowing down and preserving these fleeting moments, authentically and beautifully, so you can remember those special first moments.
Those tiny fingers, sleepy cuddles, new little expressions and the way they fit so perfectly into your arms — it all changes so quickly.
“ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHS.
WE GOT THEM BACK SUPER QUICK TOO. VERY, VERY HAPPY WITH GILLIAN'S WORK AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!"
— Bethany, client
It was so special to meet little Indie.
Captured at Sarah’s parents home while they were going through renovations, we lucked out with a beautiful big home that looked out to the ocean with plenty of natural light - it was a dream to photograph in!

QUESTIONS
Usually I will shoot in a room with the most amount of natural light, that may be a living room or bedroom. These photos will include portraits of your little one, but also family photos with you. I suggest wearing something that is smart but casual and comfortable - consider linen, a flowy dress or earthy colours. Avoid red or bright colours. If you have any beautiful fabrics, blankets, swaddles or baby clothes, have these ready and popped aside as options, however I will bring a few props on the day. Some other suggestions to help keep bub relaxed can be keeping the room as warm as possible, a feed before I arrive and coordinating the shoot with nap time. If your bub has dry skin you can also put some cream on those areas before the session and reapply throughout the session to reduce the appearance of flaky skin.
Q. how SHOULD WE PREPARE FOR A NEWBORN SESSION?
Yes I do! Although anything that requires more than 1 hour travel each way does incur a travel fee.
Q. Do YOU TRAVEL
You will be sent an online gallery within 4 weeks of your shoot which you can share with friends and family.
Q. HOW DOES IT WORK WITH RECIEVING IMAGES?
I like to keep these sessions quite flexible. We can pencil in a date and shift the date around once bub has arrived. These sessions are generally run on weekdays.
Q. how do we book a date for our newborn session if we do not know when they will be born?
I generally suggest booking newborn sessions within the first two weeks, while the baby is more settled and sleeping often. We can pop a shoot date on hold and move the date quite easily if you have bub sooner or later. Alternatively you may wish until about 3 months and capture you bubbas little body rolls and maybe sneak in a smile. This is also a beautiful time for newborn sessions.
Q. at what age do you recommend newborn sessions?
These sessions are held in your home and usually take 1-2 hours depending on how settled bub is.
