Willow’s Newborn Photoshoot

I had the absolute joy of photographing the sweetest little girl, Willow, in my Papakura newborn studio recently. From the moment her family walked through the door, I could feel the love and excitement they had for their newest little addition. Her mum and dad were completely smitten, and her big sister was so gentle and proud—it was just so sweet to watch.

We created over six different setups during the session, each one highlighting the soft, delicate beauty of those early newborn days. There’s something so magical about newborn photography—the stillness, the tiny details, the way a baby curls up so perfectly. It’s a time that passes in the blink of an eye, often while new parents are so very tired, so capturing all those details is so important.

One of my favorite things about these sessions is the calm, dreamy atmosphere. The soft lighting, the warm studio, the little stretches and yawns, it all comes together to create something so special. I always aim to keep things simple and timeless, focusing on the natural beauty of these tiny new souls. Willow was an absolute dream to photograph, and seeing her family’s love for her shine through in every image was truly heartwarming.

I feel so lucky to be able to do what I do—capturing these once-in-a-lifetime moments and turning them into treasured memories. I can’t wait to share more behind the scenes from Willow’s session and other beautiful newborn sessions I have coming up.

If you’re thinking about booking a newborn photoshoot, I’d love to welcome you into my studio and create something truly special for your family. These moments don’t last forever, but the memories can. 💕
