Family + Newborn Sessions

A woman is hugging a young child in a cozy, well-lit living room. The woman has short dark hair and is wearing a white t-shirt, while the child has blonde curly hair, is wearing a striped shirt and pink crocs. The background includes a window, artwork on the wall, and a wooden table.

My family sessions are relaxed, documentary-style and take place in your home, at the park, or by the beach—no stiff or cheesy studio portraits.

Before your session, I get to know you through a questionnaire and a quick video call so I can tailor the experience around what your family genuinely enjoys.

Sessions might include everyday moments like cooking, playing, bath time, story time, walking the dog, or heading outdoors for a picnic or beach adventure.

I also offer half-day and full “day in the life” sessions, capturing both photo and video. There’s no pressure for perfect behaviour—real moments, whether messy, quiet, or joyful, often make the most meaningful images. With more time, we can plan something more adventurous too, like camping, swimming, or a full day outdoors.
