NEWBORN
EXPERIENCE
FOR THE SWEET SWEET SENTIMENTAL MOMENTS, YOU'LL CHERISH FOREVER
the
Bringing a new life into the world is breathtaking, but it can also feel vulnerable. I know how overwhelming it can feel—the quiet nights, the tiny yawns, the moments that pass in the blink of an eye. My role as your newborn photographer isn’t just to capture your baby—it’s to be a calm, supportive presence for you. To guide you gently, to reassure you, and to help you feel safe and at ease while we preserve these first memories.
Becoming a mother myself has shown me what it truly means to love fiercely, to feel joy and exhaustion all at once, and to wish these early days would last just a little longer. It’s this understanding that guides every session I create—because these fleeting, tender moments deserve to be remembered.
My sessions are slow, relaxed, and completely baby-led. There’s no rushing, no stress—just time to breathe, settle in, and be present. Every detail matters, from tiny fingers and toes to soft expressions, yawns, and cuddles. I use natural light, delicate wraps, and a posing bag, keeping everything soft, simple, and focused on your family.
Sessions are ideally held within the first 14 days and usually last 2–3 hours, depending on your baby.
I provide everything you need—you just bring your love and presence.
So if this feels like the right fit for you, let’s chat and plan a session that captures your family, just as they are—gently, naturally, and always captured with heart.

We were beyond happy with the service that Mikelle delivered!
From the moment we inquired and booked our newborn photoshoot to receiving our gallery we had no issues and great communication.
Mikelle was extremely professional during the session and talked through everything she was doing, whilst also creating a warm and welcoming environment where we felt comfortable. We were also pleased that the turn around time for receiving our photos was within the time frame she had given.
Thank you so much for taking the time and care to capture our first family photos together - they are just so stunning!

How far in advance should we book?
Within your second trimester is usually best! I can be booked up 3months in advance so I cannot guarantee any availability once baby is already here. I just require a deposit and signed contract to confirm your session.
WHAT IS THE BEST AGE TO HAVE my BABY photographed?
All of my newborns are photographed within two weeks of birth (6-14days). During this time, babes are still very sleepy, which helps for a smoothly run session. Babes change SO much in the first few weeks so capturing them at their littlest is optimal.
DO I NEED TO BRING ANY OUTFITS / ANYTHING TO THE SESSION?
No. I will have everything we need for the session, however just make sure you have enough formula, snacks and iPads for other kiddies. Other than that I will have everything covered.
Why do the sessions take so long?
I always take my time with newborns. I will never rush a session and take as much time as we need, allowing your baby to be my guide. Newborn sessions can typically therefore take a few hours to complete. My aim is to have you feeling completely relaxed and enjoy every moment of your session without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. Newborn sessions (6-14 days old) tend to average 180 minutes.
what happens if are ill?
Babies health and safety is most important. We will reschedule your session if anyone is ill. There is no fee to reschedule, however there is a cancellation fee if applicable.
Will my photos be posted publicly on
your site or social media?
I respect your privacy and allow each client to decide whether or not they want their photos displayed publicly. I’d love to show off you & your images, if you’re game! If not, that's okay, I do just ask for written consent before your session. I most certainly do! Please reach out for more detailed information on this service.
DO YOU OFFER PAYMENT PLANS?
I most certainly do! Please reach out for more detailed information on this service.
Do you retouch the images for
blemishes /Dry flaky skin?
Minor edits will be made to all of your images, but I believe our imperfections are what make us beautiful & unique. If there are specific edits you want I will discuss with you during the session. Please be aware that there maybe an additional retouching fee if additional retouching is required.
Can I print the images anywhere?
Yes, you are welcome to print the images on your own. If you do this, I recommend making sure that the printer does not colour correct the images (many automatically do this.) I also recommend looking for a high quality printer. While 10 cent prints sound great in theory, the cheaper printing quality often won’t do your images justice. Paper quality, colour correction and a handful of other factors play a big role in the way your prints turn out. This is one of the reasons why I LOVE offering prints to my clients.
