This is a perfect time to capture how beautiful and lively your baby is. At this stage, their unique personality and vibrant energy shine through, making it an ideal moment to preserve these precious memories with timeless photographs. From their joyful expressions to their curious movements.

What to Expect During Your Baby’s Photo Session

We know how precious this time is, and our goal is to make your baby’s photography session relaxed and a memorable experience. Here are some important things to keep in mind during this beautiful experience.

  Your baby’s safety is our top priority. Every pose and setup is done carefully, with constant supervision. My husband is an experienced assistant is always close by to support or spot your baby when needed.

  We work around your baby’s needs. If your little one needs an extra feed, nappy change, or cuddle, we pause and allow time for it — no rush or pressure.

  If you’d like to be in the photos, or include big brothers and sisters, we’ll plan these moments carefully to capture those heartfelt connections while keeping the session calm and enjoyable for everyone.

Our aim is to create a relaxed baby photography session, beautiful experience for you and precious memories you’ll cherish for a lifetime in our beautiful and well equipped Sunbury studio.

Investing in newborn photography and why is so important to be documented

While phone snaps capture those everyday, spontaneous moments, professional baby photography offers something truly timeless. It’s about preserving your little one’s delicate features, tiny fingers and toes, and those fleeting newborn expressions with the care, skill, and artistry they deserve. Professional photographers know how to safely pose your baby, capute images that hold emotion, tell your story, and become cherished keepsakes for generations.

Newborn photography is a precious way to capture the fleeting moments of your baby's early days. At Emma Pender Photography, we specialise in creating beautiful, timeless images that showcase the delicate beauty of your newborn. Our sessions provide a relaxed and comfortable environment, ensuring both you and your baby feel at ease.

Using gentle, natural or studio lighting and simple props, we focus on highlighting your baby's unique features. Each image is crafted with care to reflect the love and joy that your little one brings into your life. Every detail is captured to create stunning artwork that can be treasured for a lifetime.

We understand that each family is unique, which is why we tailor our sessions to meet your preferences. Whether you prefer a lifestyle session or a more elaborate setup with props, we work closely with you to create images that resonate with your favorite style. Our goal is to provide you with photographs that you will be proud to display, as well as to evoke the cherished memories of this special time.

Investing in newborn photography is not just about the photos, it’s about preserving the emotions and connections that come with welcoming your new baby ensuring that the memories of your little one's earliest days are beautifully documented.

Rustic newborn photo props bring a warm, timeless charm to your little one’s first portraits. Crafted from natural materials like wood, burlap, and linen, these props create a serene and inviting atmosphere that beautifully complements the innocence of newborns. Think wooden crates, vintage scale, soft, neutral-toned fabrics, and delicate floral accents. Each piece is carefully selected to enhance the beauty of your baby while telling a unique story. The subtle textures and warm tones of rustic props not only provide a stunning backdrop but also evoke a sense of nostalgia, making the photographs truly memorable.

Capturing the bond between siblings in photographs is a cherished aspect of our sessions. The love, laughter, and sometimes even the mischief shared between siblings offer a unique perspective that truly enriches family portraits. Our experience has shown that parents particularly treasure these sibling photos. They not only highlight the connection but also preserve those fleeting moments of childhood.

We aim to create beautiful, timeless images that showcase their relationship, whether through playful interactions or tender embraces. As the years pass, these photos will become invaluable treasures, evoking fond memories and

Soft, Warm & Informative Advice

IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ!

Did you know the ideal time to photograph your newborn is between 6 to 12 days old?

Many families reach out hoping to book in when their little one is 4,or even 10 weeks old — and while those ages are beautiful too, for newborn photography, it’s often too late to achieve those sleepy, curled-up poses.

Why those first 12 days?
In those early days, your baby is still adjusting to the world. After a good feed, they tend to drift into a deep sleep, allowing us to gently pose them while they’re calm, relaxed, and snuggly.

Once babies are over 12 days old, they start stretching out, becoming more alert and less likely to settle into the safe, cozy poses we aim for.

I book up months in advance and only take a limited number of sessions each month to accommodate early and overdue arrivals.

To avoid missing out, it’s best to get in touch during your second trimester to reserve a spot around your due date.
