From Bump to Baby.. ❤ Melbourne Newborn Photographer
One of the joys of being a lifestyle family photographer is capturing life’s milestones naturally, as they unfold. Recently, I had the chance to document a couple's journey from expecting their first baby to bringing their son home—alongside their sweet dog, Minty.
Our first session was a maternity shoot at Darebin Parklands, where the open spaces and native bushlands set a relaxed backdrop. The couple walked together, with Minty happily exploring nearby, and the connection between them was evident without any need for posing. My aim was to capture the genuine interactions that tell their story, letting moments happen organically.
A few weeks later, I joined them in their home for the newborn session. Now with the delightful Henry Peter in their arms! Minty was close by, adjusting to the new addition, and the focus was on the natural flow of life at home—simple moments and quiet snuggles that all pass by in such a haze sleep deprivation.
Lifestyle photography is about documenting real connections and creating a visual record of these milestones in a way that feels true to life. From their time as a couple expecting their first child to the early days with their son, it was a privilege to capture this family’s journey with love and warmth.
