Fresh 48 Photographer in Sydney Hills Shire

Family and newborn lifestyle sessions are designed to be natural and easy, whether outdoors or in-home. No awkward poses or stiff smiles here! You’ll barely notice the camera, and the focus will be on capturing moments as they unfold, not on posing or perfection.

Don't worry! I allow plenty of time to settle and calm baby if required during the photo session. As for the kiddos, temper tantrums and frowns are all part of the journey! I let the children lead, so everyone can relax and we capture real, unscripted smiles.

The photography package fee covers everything from consultation and planning to any props or wardrobe items I provide, as well as edited digital files. You’ll receive the final gallery, and if you’d like, I can supply raw files (digital negatives) as well.

For maternity photos, booking between 32-34 weeks gestation gives you a glowing, beautiful belly. Newborn photo sessions are ideally done between 4-14 days old, when your little one is still sleepy and flexible. Sessions are limited, so please enquire at least 6 weeks ahead. Sometimes cancellations create availability, so feel free to reach out if you’re in need of a last-minute session!

No worries! I can work with most spaces. I focus on capturing the beauty in your environment, even if its not perfect. If unsure you can share some images with me during consultation and decide on the best approach for your in-home family lifestyle photography session. In-home newborn shoots need very littles space. A light filled corner is ideal. Alternately, we can look for an outdoor photoshoot location.

Life happens, and I’m happy to reschedule if something unexpected comes up like illness or emergency. You can reschedule once for exceptional circumstances with no problem.

I completely understand that budgeting for professional photography can feel like a big decision. That’s why I offer flexible payment plans through to make it more manageable. While smartphones are great for quick snaps, professional photography goes far beyond that—it’s about capturing genuine emotions, using expert lighting and composition, and creating images of superior, fine-art quality perfect for large prints that will stand the test of time. DIY photography also makes it nearly impossible to include the entire family in candid, heartfelt moments. Often, one person—usually the one behind the camera—is left out and rarely has photos of themselves. With a professional photographer, everyone gets to be part of the memories, creating a complete story of your family to cherish forever. It may seem like a big investment, but these photos last a lifetime. Think about how much we spend on fleeting indulgences—like coffee runs or a trip to the nail salon. In comparison, professional photography creates something timeless, capturing precious snapshots for you and future generations. I guarantee in 10 years’ time you won’t be thinking about the cost while reminiscing over your beautiful memories.

Yes! I edit photos to enhance colours and bring out the mood, while keeping everything looking natural. Minor blemishes or skin texture may be smoothed out, but I stay true to your original character—no heavy retouching, slimming or airbrushing. Editing takes time and care, often more than the shoot itself. It’s not just adding a filter; it’s a detailed process, like developing a digital negative. That’s why my packages include a set number of final images. Extra images can be added for an additional cost due to the time needed to edit them.

Our focus is on quality over quantity—your package includes the most meaningful and beautifully captured images that tell your story. While the photos have already been taken, editing and delivering additional images requires time and resources. Charging for extra images helps cover the time spent curating and editing while maintaining the high standards you expect.
