Welcoming a newborn into your family is such a magical time filled with love and joy. As a parent, you'll want to capture every precious moment and tiny detail of baby's earliest days. While DIY photography might seem appealing, there are many reasons why hiring a professional newborn photographer is worth the investment. Let me share how a professional touch can make all the difference in capturing these beautiful memories.


Prioritising Safety

The safety of your newborn is my highest priority. As one of Wellington's most experienced newborn photographers, I have invested a lot of time in education to perfect my skills and to handle babies with the utmost care. I understand how to pose babies safely and have the right equipment to support their delicate little bodies. DIY attempts can sometimes miss these critical safety aspects, which can pose risks.


Expertise in Posing and Comfort

Newborns can be unpredictable, and getting them to settle into those adorable poses requires a lot of patience and expertise. With my baby whispering skills, and a perfectly designed studio environment, I can gently guide your baby into the cutest positions, all the while keeping them sleepy, calm and content throughout the session.


Props and Accessories Galore

Professional newborn photography goes beyond having a good camera and great lighting! In my cozy Tawa studio, I provide everything needed for a perfectly styled session, including a huge collection of high-quality props, wraps, headbands, and accessories. These carefully selected pieces help create stunning, customised portraits of your baby. DIY photos often lack the professional touch and variety that comes from having a well-stocked studio, resulting in images that might not capture your baby's beauty the way you hoped.


Artistic Vision and Experience

As a professional newborn photographer, I bring an artistic eye and years of experience to each session. I know how to compose shots, use props creatively, and create a cohesive gallery that captures your baby beautifully. My goal is to deliver a gallery of stunning images that are not only technically perfect but also emotionally resonant. This artistic vision is something that DIY photography often can't replicate.


A Stress-Free Experience

Having a newborn is already a busy and sometimes overwhelming time. By choosing to work with a professional photographer, you can relax and enjoy the session without the stress of trying to capture perfect shots yourself. I'll take care of all the details, from setting up the studio to soothing your baby, so you can focus on sitting back and enjoying the the moment.


Professional Editing

After the session, I meticulously edit each photo to enhance its beauty while maintaining a natural look. This process includes colour correction, skin retouching, and ensuring every detail is perfect. Professional editing elevates the final images, giving them a polished and refined appearance that DIY attempts often can't match.


TIMELESS KEEPSAKES

The images we create together will be more than photographs—they'll be cherished heirlooms that tell the story of your family's beginning for generations to come.


Choosing a professional newborn photographer means investing in high-quality, safe, and beautiful images that you'll cherish forever. If you're considering capturing this special time in your baby's life, I would love to help you create stunning photographs that tell your baby's story.
