The ELB Newborn Experience: Relaxed, Heartfelt Portraits for Growing Families
Becoming a parent is one of life’s most extraordinary experiences, and those first few weeks with your baby are unlike anything else. Between sleepless nights, endless cuddles, and learning your little one’s every expression, time moves fast. That’s why capturing these early days matters - and why I've refined the newborn portrait process to be as effortless and enjoyable as possible.
A Calm, Comfortable Studio Designed for You
When you arrive at my Castle Hill studio, my goal is simple: to create a calm, welcoming space where you can truly relax. Every detail had been thought through, from temperature control and soothing playlists, to the neutral and timeless styling that complements your baby rather than distracting from them.
Whether you’re a first time parent or returning with your growing family, you can expect a peaceful session where everything is taken care of. I’ll guide you through gentle poses and setups that capture your baby’s natural beauty.
Experience That Makes All the Difference
After years of photographing hundreds of newborns, I’ve learned how to read a baby’s cues, settle them quickly, and transition between setups with ease. It’s this experience that allows me to create an entire gallery of beautifully varied portraits, all within a shorter, more comfortable session.
Most newborn photo sessions can take up to four hours, often leaving parents feeling drained. My sessions are intentionally designed to capture that same depth and quality in less time; without every feeling rushed. Every pose, every frame, is thoughtful and intentional.
A Bespoke Experience from Start to Finish
From the moment you enquire, I’ll guide you through every step, from preparing for your session to selecting your finished artwork. My aim is to make this an experience you’ll actually enjoy, not just endure.
You;ll leave not only with stunning portraits of your baby, but with heirloom artwork that becomes part of your family’s story. Something to treasure long after the newborn stage has passed.
Book Your Newborn Session
If your little one is on the way, now is the perfect time to plan your newborn portraits. Sessions are best scheduled while your baby is under two weeks olf to capture those dreamy, sleepy poses, but rest assured, beautiful images are possible at any age.
