The newborn days have a way of passing in a blur. One minute you're soaking in tiny stretches, milk-drunk smiles and sleepy cuddles, and before you know it, everything has changed.


My in-home newborn sessions are designed to preserve this season just as it feels right now. Relaxed, natural and centred around connection, with no pressure to have a perfectly tidy home or a perfectly settled baby.

The beauty of in-home newborn photography


Those early days can feel like a lot, and packing up a tiny baby to leave the house isn't always appealing. With an in-home session, you can settle in and enjoy the experience in a familiar space.


I'll bring everything we need and follow your baby's lead, with plenty of time for feeds, cuddles and settling. We usually work in just one or two rooms, making the most of the natural light in your home.


There's no need for a picture-perfect space. The focus is on your family, your connection and the little moments that make this season yours.

Newborn photography for Penrith families who want real moments


My approach to newborn photography is relaxed and lifestyle-focused. There's no pressure for your baby to sleep or for every moment to look a certain way.


Instead, I focus on the connection between you and your baby. Tiny fingers wrapped around yours, the way your partner looks at your little one, sibling cuddles and the quiet in-between moments that make these early days so special.


Natural, heartfelt photographs that tell the story of your family, just as you are.

When should I book newborn photos?


If you're looking for a Penrith newborn photographer, I recommend getting in touch during pregnancy to secure a spot around your due date. Many families book a few months ahead, then we arrange the session date once your baby arrives.


For those sleepy, curled-up newborn photos, sessions are often held around the first two weeks. But there's no strict deadline. My relaxed, lifestyle approach to newborn photography is just as beautiful with older newborns, too.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if my baby doesn't sleep?

That's completely okay! My in-home newborn photography sessions are relaxed and baby-led, so your little one doesn't need to sleep the whole time. Awake moments, tiny expressions and curious little eyes can be just as beautiful.

I'm not sure my home is suitable for newborn photos. Is that okay?

Of course. You don't need a perfectly styled home or lots of space. I look for beautiful natural light and genuine connection, and we usually only need one or two rooms. I'll work with your space to create natural, heartfelt photographs of your family.

Can siblings be included?

Absolutely. Including siblings is a lovely way to capture your family as it grows. I'll gently guide everyone along, keeping things relaxed and allowing time for cuddles and natural interactions.

Where do you offer in-home newborn photography?

I'm an in-home newborn photographer serving Penrith, surrounding Western Sydney suburbs and the Blue Mountains. I regularly photograph families in Glenmore Park, Emu Plains, Leonay, Caddens, Jordan Springs, Mulgoa, Silverdale, Llandilo and Londonderry.
