Lily- 5 days new

Is this not the cutest little gal you have ever seen. Little Lily was just 5 days old when I photographed her as a tiny newborn. She slept for the whole hour, what a little dream.

Noella, Perth Newborn Photoshoot

Noella was the sweetest little gal, just 5 days old and the perfect model, making my job as a newborn photographer so easy! I mean just look at that little face!

When is the perfect time for a newborn photoshoot you ask? For these free sleepy newborn images I recommend 2-12 days, while they’re still sleepy and so easy to put to sleep and move around. But if you’ve missed the boat or you aren’t feeling up to them just yet there is no real perfect time, when they’re older it sometimes just takes a little longer to get them to sleep or to move them around but its still so worth capturing, as everyone always says they grow soooo fast and this is the perfect way to freeze this ever fleeting moment in your families life!

The next question I get asked a lot is do we need to prepare anything? Nope not really! I bring the blankets, cover, wraps, baskets. A little bow is sometimes a super cute addition if you have one and if you guys dress in neutrals we really cant go wrong.

Do you come to us? Absolutely, I will use a corner in your house where the lighting is lovely, usually your bedroom or living area but sometimes even your bathroom.

How long do newborn sessions go for? It totally ranges on how bub is going. If we can get your little one asleep quickly then usually an hour but if theyre needing some extra tlc then sometimes even two hours. Feeding and changing your bub before I get there helps this but there is no way to control how your little one will do that day so we just role with it.

Family summer session at Trigg beach

Perth you did it again, I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect evening for a family photoshoot down at the beach.

For every family session my goal is to let your little one’s personalities shine through. I want to give you images that wholly represent you and capture the essence of the love you share together. Part of this is letting kids be kids, let them run, let them cry, let them be crazy or quiet, whatever there personality is- let it shine through. If that means I spend half the time trying to keep up with them or I'm quietly walking with them as they explore thats fine by me!

These little loves were so sweet, it was one of the hottest summer days in Perth but that didn’t bother them. It was over 40 degrees but I decided not to cancel hoping it would cool down as the sun set, and it did. Im so glad we went ahead, the hot day made for a balmy perfect summer evening down by the ocean. It was the sort of evening you spend down at the beach and want to remember forever, not a lick of wind and the warm water making it literally perfect.

A+D Coast Port beach wedding

Alysha and David’s wedding was on the most stunning winters day, not a lick of wind, sunny and warm and located right on the beach at Coast Port in Fremantle. What more could these lovers want? They met at work on an offshore rig and now the rest is history. Alysha wore a beautiful Pronovias gown from Brides by Design and then surprised us all at the reception by changing in a lovely Rosa Clará Couture Wedding slip dress. These guys wanted a relaxed but super fun day, choosing that as your vibe is a big part of your day being relaxed and fun but also choosing vendors like that will go a long way. If your looking for a fun lively celebrant then look no further, The Tilers Wife officiated the ceremony and there were plenty of laughs!

I get asked all the time what this difference is between full video coverage and a highlight reel, this is Alysha and David’s highlight wedding film videoed along side photography. I love capturing video and photography together.
