I hear it all the time…

“But what do I do with my hands? How should I sit?”

Take a breath, lovely. I’ve got you.

During your session, I’ll gently guide you, often by showing you myself or softly repositioning your hands or arms. We’ll share a few laughs, shake off the awkwardness, and before you know it, you’ll settle into something that feels perfectly you.

No stiff posing. No pressure.

Just natural, genuine connection,the kind that feels good and looks beautiful in your photos.

Introducing Small Business Sunday ✨️

Lately I’ve been thinking about how much mums hold, not just the daily tasks, but the emotional weight of figuring out who and what can really support us through pregnancy, birth, postpartum and beyond.

And it reminded me of something simple and true:
we’re not meant to do this alone.
We’re meant to have a village.

So I’m starting something new here…

Small Business Sunday

Each Sunday (or whenever it feels right), I’ll gently share a small, local business that supports mamas in a meaningful way.

Honest recommendations from people I know, love, and trust.

Some are businesses I’ve personally leaned on in my own motherhood.

Some are women doing beautiful, quiet work in our community.

All of them hold space for mums in their own unique way.

My hope is that these little Sunday moments help you feel more supported - like you have a softer place to land, whenever you might need it.

A village, shared.

🖤 Daisy

Every mama carries a thousand quiet chapters ✨

The soft ones, the messy ones, all of them life-changing ones.

I’m here to hold space for all of them.

From swelling bellies to newborn breaths… from wobbly toddlers to the steady, everyday love of motherhood.

If you’re a mama, or mama to be, this is a safe, gentle corner for you.

Tiny toes, a sweet smile, and a flower for good measure 🌼

This session with felt like sunshine, built by a woman with vision, creating something beautiful and purposeful.

Forever inspired by the women bringing their dreams to life and letting me play a small part in telling that story ✨️

"All the girls in my class are pretty" Harry said to me the other day, so matter-of-factly.

He’s 10.

And it made me teary, because he’s growing up, yes. But also because he’s learning to see beauty in everyone.

When mamas come to me, often a little self-conscious, I get it. I really do.

But I promise you… I don’t see what you’re worried about.

I see your smile.

The glint in your eye.

The way your family looks at you like you’re the whole world.

And I hope, just for a moment, you get to see that too 🖤

P.s. When I asked Harry if he ever chats to the girls, his reply? "Nah, I just say OK and keep playing soccer"

There’s no such thing as “too late” for newborn photos.

Some babies arrive early.
Some need a little extra time in the NICU.
Some mamas need a longer recovery.

And all of that is okay.

I’ll always hold space for whatever your journey looks like—because your session should feel like a moment to breathe, not another thing on your to-do list.

Older newborns are just as sweet, just as worthy, just as magical.
And honestly?
One of my favourite things is watching their little personalities start to shine.

No pressure. No rush.
Just you, your baby, and a story worth remembering.

Newcastle newborn photographer offering relaxed, in-home sessions for newborns of all ages. Whether your baby arrives early, needs extra time in NICU, or you need a slower recovery—there’s no rush here. Serving families across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, and surrounding NSW suburbs.

A 4:30am wake up was worth every moment.
To stand in the stillness, watching this beautiful mama-to-be bathed in light.

Growth.
Transition.
The sacred in-between.
That space where everything is shifting, and yet somehow feels perfectly still.

These final weeks of pregnancy are fleeting, and capturing them is a way to freeze time before everything changes in the most beautiful way.

If you’re in Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, or the Hunter NSW, I’d love to help you document your story with warm, timeless maternity photography that feels true to you.

Two tiny miracles, double the love 🤍🤍

Watching my sister-in-law step into this new season of motherhood with such grace has been the sweetest gift. Welcoming one baby is a whirlwind, but two? It’s strength, patience, and love multiplied.

These little souls are already so adored - by their parents, their family, their cousins, and the village that will cheer them on every step of the way.

You’re doing an incredible job. These days are exhausting, magical, fleeting, and unforgettable all at once - and I feel so lucky to witness them alongside you.

Tonight I light a candle for my baby boy, and for all the babies who couldn’t stay.

It’s the club no one ever wants to be a part of. But once you are, you realise how many of us there are - silently carrying this grief, this love, this ache. To return home without your baby is to leave a part of your soul within those hospital walls.

is a reminder that none of us walk it alone. That every candle lit is a name, a story, a family whose world changed forever.

To the parents remembering, to the siblings missing someone they never got to grow up with, to the families who hold both joy and loss in the same hands - my heart is with you.

Life is fragile, love is eternal, and these little ones will always be remembered.

In-home sessions are something special ✨
There’s a certain kind of magic that happens when you're photographed in your own space, no rushing out the door, no packing bags full of baby gear, just soft cuddles on the couch, feeding in your favourite chair, and soaking up newborn bliss (and chaos!) in the place you’ve made your own.

That’s why I love offering in-home newborn sessions.

✔️ Comfort first: You're in your environment, where feeding, nappy changes, and resettling are easy and stress-free.
✔️ Authenticity: We capture your family just as you are, the quiet moments, the laughter, the tiny details you’ll want to remember.
✔️ Flexibility: No need to schedule around perfect weather or get everyone dressed and out the door.
✔️ Keepsake memories: Your home becomes the backdrop for these early days a setting filled with meaning.

If you’ve been thinking about a newborn session but feel overwhelmed at the thought of leaving the house, this is your permission to stay in your trackies and just enjoy the moment. I’ll bring the calm, the guidance, and the eye for connection. 💛

DM to chat about an in-home session or pop over to the link in bio to see how it all works.
