Newborn studio in Oatlands

For a very long time, I travelled to clients homes for newborn sessions. There are some advantages to this. The main advantage is that Mum and Dad don't have to worry about packing up and heading out the door for their photoshoot. However, there are many advantages to the studio model. The main advantage is that I can have consistency of light. By using my lights, I know and control the space to produce the best lit images possible. Another advantage is that all of my props, hats, blankets and accessories are available should anyone ask for them. For these reasons, I am formally shifting my newborn focus from that of an on-location photographer, to a studio based one. My home studio is located in Oatlands. Most people haven't heard of Oatlands. It's a small, leafy suburb nestled between Carlingford, North Rocks, Dundas and North Parramatta. It's a short drive from the Inner West, including Concord, Canada Bay, Picnic Point and the Hills area, including Castle Hill and Baulkham Hills.

In the short term, I will still continue to service Sydney as a mobile Sydney newborn photographer. When the studio is established, I will make a decision as to whether or not this is a service I will continue with.

I look forward to bringing you some progress photos of my little studio coming to life. We will be having a mini version of "The Block" going on here. In the meantime, I've been practicing using the space with some little clients.

This is sweet baby Lewis. Lewis came to the studio with Mum and Grandma, and he was a dream for my inaugural studio newborn shoot. I hope you love Lewis' images as much as I do.

Melrose Park Baby Photographer

Meet adorable baby Olivia. I love all of her baby features; her tiny toes, her pudgy legs, her precious baby smile and of course, that beautiful hair.

Baby on Black

As part of my website upgrade, I have expanded my session agreement to incorporate further information about what exactly my clients are after during their shoot. Not all clients have the same goals. Not all clients like the same poses and people generally have different taste in colour. When I asked this gorgeous Mum what type of images she loved, she told me that she likes baby on black, baby in Dad's hands, family photos and black and white photography. It was great to get a very clear vision, and surprisingly, it was clearer when I asked her to write it than when I interview clients over the phone. I think the reason is that clients are briefer when writing their session goals, so it becomes very obvious. I was blown away when I met this beautiful little girl. She is seriously one of the most striking newborns I've ever met. And she had a head full of hair! I very much enjoyed both this session and retouching these images. And I am sure we achieved Mum's vision.
