Someday, you'll want to linger a little longer right here...
The newborn stage changes everything, doesn’t it? One day you’re yourself, and the next - you’re holding your whole heart in your arms.
Life tilts in the most extraordinary of ways. Your world is suddenly made new, filled with both wonder and the weight of fragility. This tiny person who has made you see everything differently. It’s a time of firsts, of learning and letting go, those quiet moments when you wonder if you’re doing it right, and a forging of a love deeper than you ever imagined.
These are the days that feel never-ending, but disappear in a blink of an eye. So if you're here because you're hoping to find a way back to the sacred beauty of these days, and all that they hold - I'd love to have a conversation.
My in-home newborn photography sessions are designed to capture your family as you are, within the familiar comfort of your own home. No rushing out the door, no studio lights or props. Simply the tenderness of home, documenting life just as it is.
This is where your story as a family begins, and I promise it’s worth holding onto.
For you. For them. Forever.
IN-HOME NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY SYDNEY
As a documentary newborn photographer, my approach is simple and intentional. I observe quietly, guide gently, and photograph what naturally unfolds. The way your baby nestles into you, the way you gaze at them in awe, and the in between moments that words can't quite hold.
Between feeds, nappy changes, and family cuddles, I'll quietly capture the moments that make this chapter yours. My hope is that this feels less like a photoshoot, and simply a morning to exhale in gratitude for the blessings you hold in your arms.
From one mum to another, I know this season can feel overwhelming, but I’m here to help you feel at ease and document this time in a way that feels true to you. These photos aren’t about being perfect - they’re about the everyday magic and love-soaked rhythms that form this season of your lives in the wonderfully lived-in space you call your own.
When you look back years from now, I hope you feel the heart of it through the visual time capsule you hold in your hands.
What will a newborn photo session feel like?
"Nobody captures the quiet, in-between moments quite like Trish. Her friendly, calming presence allows us to just be ourselves, producing photography that is natural, candid and sentimental. We have been fortunate enough to have Trish capture past milestones and look forward to many, many more."
- Fran & Angus
“You are a gifted storyteller, and we feel so blessed that you told our story through your lens.”
- Grace
"We are so blessed to have done a couple of family sessions with Trish over the years. Her photographs have such beauty and grace. Definitely one of the top family photographers in the world."
- Jon & Krys
DO I NEED TO PREPARE MY HOME?
In my opinion, homes are meant to feel lived in - toys on the floors, unmade beds, half-folded laundry and all. That said, I'll gently guide you towards the best light and most meaningful corners of your space. Above all these memories are about connection, not pinterest perfection, and I will happily work around your home to best represent this for you.
WHEN SHOULD I SCHEDULE A NEWBORN OR BABY SESSION?
Documenting newborn life is so very precious and every parent can attest to how fast time flies. Early newborn sessions while babies are still tiny and sleepy are recommended during the first 5-10 days of birth. These sessions take place at your home, documenting the new bonds and those early, blurry, beautiful days of togetherness.
Alternatively, if you prefer your baby more interactive and awake, I would recommend considering a session around 4-6 month+ where they are more interactive and expressive, and some rhythms begin to be established within the home.
How do I book a newborn photoshoot and what happens next?
Once you let me know your due date and ideal timing for your session, we can align our calendars and lock in a date. Your session is booked in with me once your $300 creative session fee has been paid (collections are purchased separately and include both digital and print options - request full price guide here).
For sessions booked in close to birth, I ask that you keep in touch once baby arrives as you have priority in my calendar given the unpredictability of timing and circumstance. The session itself will be relaxed and intimate, and your images will be available to view within a fortnight.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you shoot analogue film for our session?
Yes, and I would LOVE to. There is a film fee of $300 to cover film and processing costs.
What should we wear for our newborn session?
I want you to feel comfortable in your own skin. Textures, layers, and neutrals are timeless and often work well - but above all, I want you to feel like you, while baby is best dressed in simple, unfussy items, or simply their own skin.
Do you include siblings or grandparents in our session?
For newborn sessions, siblings are most welcome however I will give them considerable breaks while we focus on your newborn baby as priority as well as capturing the connection and newly forming bonds between yourselves as parents and your newest arrival. Grandparents are of course welcome to join in on the session where time and space allows as the session flows.
Do you offer a framing and album service?
As a professional photographer, I believe this is one of the most valuable services I offer and perhaps the most often overlooked. Your time and money invested deserve to be celebrated rather than remain in hiding on a drive or cloud somewhere.
Once your session is complete, your images are hosted in a private gallery linked to my favourite lab with an abundance of beautiful products that can be ordered and shipped safely to your door. I can help design keepsake albums for you to hold in your hands and heart. I’m also available to provide advice on creating gallery walls, print and frame sizing.

"Though we are camera-shy, Trish was patient and guided us to capture beautiful, natural and timeless portraits.
My 3yo often says "I want to go to the beach and take photos with Aunty Trish again". Forever grateful we have these beautiful memories captured of each season as these will become so valuable to our littles ones and us as the years go on."
