Newborn Photography
Capturing your little one as they will never be again.. brand new!
A little about our Studio Newborn Sessions
I am so happy that you have seen something in my work that has led you to contacting me today. I would be honoured to capture these wonderful memories for you and your family!
Our posed Newborn session is carried out on weekdays from my studio in St Clair. These sessions can tend to go up to 4 hours depending on how baby is feeling on the day. Although I plan the session prior to you arriving, I do structure my sessions solely around baby and the cue’s he/she is giving me. This could mean we get all sleepy poses and sometimes we may get mostly awake photos but majority of the time we can get both 😊
You may already know what it is like having a Newborn in the house but if you don’t you will quickly learn that the first few weeks/months we tend to work on baby time, and this is exactly what I roll with in my studio... baby time!
We now have a more relaxed space which you can utilise during your posed Newborn session OR if you are after a completely relaxed feel to your Newborn session you can opt for the relaxed studio package that will have very minimal posing.
Studio Newborn sessions are the perfect session for you to sit back, relax and watch on in awe as we create some beautiful memories.
A little about our Relaxed Newborn Sessions
Our relaxed newborn sessions are a Lifestyle session that tell your unique story whether that is capturing that freshness in a Fresh 48 session in hospital within the first 2 days or welcoming your brand-new baby with a newborn family session in our space.
These images are documentary & tell a story using our relaxed studio space and minimal items in your session. These are edited natural/raw and do not have an over polished finish, because this is real life & all its beauty. Some of your images holding baby will even have that studio feel to them using creative natural lighting.
The best time to hold your home session is within the first 2 weeks for sleepy portraits, or up to 12 weeks old.
Relaxed studio sessions are held on weekdays between mid-morning to noon when the light is brightest.
It's best to book as early as possible while Dad is off work if needed.
The colour, feel and theme of your images will be created by the studio decor and clothing. I have a full client wardrobe that is available for use for bub. You also have access to our developing range of dresses for mums and siblings too, If you wish to see what I have to offer up please let me know.

Help yourself to the PJA Client Closet
I understand booking your photography session is the easy part, the outfit stress sinks in.
We understand that new outfits can be hard to find, and it can get a little pricey especially if you're buying for a few. This is exactly why we started looking around and purchasing a variety of different dresses for mum's and girls. A last-minute run to the shop for a button up or white shirt for your son can also be easily ticked off the list simply by checking what sizes have in studio.
Our client closet if forever growing to make life simple for you, we want you to enjoy the entire experience, right from the time you find us!
Flick through our client closet to see if anything catch's your eye.
