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. From sleepy snuggles to tiny toes, 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 emotions.

When is the best time to do my newborn session?

After nearly 8 years photographing the most adorable babies in Melbourne, we’ve found that the best age to do a newborn session is 7-10 days old. At this stage, babies are still very sleepy during the day (maybe not so much at night!) and very supple which is essential for newborn photos with props.

What if I don’t know when exactly my baby will arrive?

We only take a certain amount of bookings per month so that we can be flexible with babies arriving before and after their due date. We just ask that you let us know within a day or two of baby’s arrival and we’ll arrange the session date from there. If you haven’t made a booking and you’ve had a baby, still feel free to contact me and we’ll do our best to fit you in.

Where will the newborn session be held?
The session will take place at our cozy Sunbury studio, where we have all our dresses for mum, over 300 knitted bonnets, headbands, blankets, props etc

 

What type of newborn sessions do you offer? Posed newborns or lifestyle shots or both?
We photograph both posed and lifestyle newborn sessions and have packages to suit both styles of photography.

Can I incorporate sibling and family photos with my baby?
Yes, definitely! We offer two packages that includes immediate family. The gold package is really focused on the family and is more of a lifestyle session. The platinum package (our most popular package) has baby posed in newborn props and also photos of the family in our lifestyle setting.

What happens if my baby needs feeding during the photoshoot?
If baby needs a feed, you are more than welcome to do so in our studio. We encourage you to take your time feeding and we do not rush this process. For your privacy, we leave the studio while you are feeding. For the session to be successful, it is essential that baby is content. You may be concerned about how baby will cooperate at the session, but we have a lot of experience dealing with newborns and only 2 in 700 babies have needed to return to the studio another day for a second attempt.

What happens if I miss the newborn stage?
I highly recommend contacting me as soon as you decide to have a photography session. Every age is beautiful to capture and there are always options for a session.
