Newborn sessions are held at my in-home studio, located in Forest.
Sessions last anywhere from 1.5 – 4 hours, allowing ample time for a variety of studio set-ups, as well as all of the very important things like feeding, settling and cuddling. Whilst I aim for a selection of unique and creative images, your baby’s comfort and safety is always my number one priority.
Newborns are best photographed in the first two weeks, generally between 8 – 12 days old, as this is when they are easily settled, often sleeping and therefore most comfortable during sessions.
I very highly recommended that you book your newborn session before your 7th month of pregnancy. If time is available in the calendar, I will always do my best to accommodate new enquiries where I can.
All props including blankets, beanies, bonnets, wraps, throws and headbands are supplied by Tara Dunstan Photography and sourced from the finest local and international suppliers. If you have sentimental items such as knitted blankets, special clothing items or hats you would like included in your images, please bring them along to your session and I will make every effort to incorporate them into your session.
My studio includes a comfortable seating where you can settle in, relax and enjoy watching your little one’s first professional photo shoot. I have the heater going during the entire session, so please make sure to wear something light under your jumpers or jackets as it gets nice and toasty in the studio. Perfect for those precious little bundles of joy, but a touch warm for we adults sometimes. As I said above, your baby’s comfort is always my priority.
If you are interested in booking a newborn session, please contact me with your estimated due date and tentatively schedule a session for your newborn. Once your baby arrives, get in contact as soon as convenient and I will lock in a session time.
As your family story unfolds through the years I am here every step of the way to capture these precious moments. From the birth of your children, the birthday celebrations in-between, to all of life’s important milestones. Let me help you solidify these memories with some fantastic portraits. I create fine art family portraits that will be handed down to your children. And to your children’s children. The kind of portraits that will be proudly displayed on walls, mantelpieces and coffee tables for generations to come. I absolutely love photographing children! My goal is to always create a fun, safe and comfortable experience for your child. Let me capture the smiles and the laughter because as you know time flies by and before you know it they are all grown up and leaving the nest.
I adore natural light and I try to work with it as much I as can. The best time of day is in the late afternoon when the light is soft and beautiful, usually around an hour before sunset. I can suggest some wonderful locations, or, you may choose your own. But please bear in mind, we need open shade, preferably out of the wind, and with a nice background to work with. Your family portrait session will last for an hour or sometimes a touch more. I will take a series of images, individual portraits as well as family photographs, and I am also happy to accommodate extended family. I also love to include the family pet in your photography sessions. My aim is to capture you and your loved ones in a natural and relaxed way, along with a few lightly posed portraits.
Congratulations on your soon-to-arrive bundle of joy! This is such an exciting time in your life and what better way to capture these memories than with memorable portraits. Documenting your pregnancy will be a great way to share these moments with your son or daughter in the future.
If you are a little anxious do not worry! I have worked with many pregnant mothers and my job will be to keep you as comfortable as possible. That’s a promise! Just relax and let me take care of the rest.
Maternity sessions are best held between 34 – 37 weeks gestation. I very highly recommended that you book your maternity session before your 6th month of pregnancy, especially if you are planning to also have a newborn session when your precious bundle of joy enters the world.
Whether it’s your anniversary, or just because, your relationship is something worth capturing! These sessions are done at an outdoor location of your choice, and as said above, the best time of day is in the late afternoon when the light is soft and beautiful before sunset. But of course please bear in mind, we need open shade, preferably out of the wind, and with a nice background to work with.
These sessions are meant to fit you as a couple and your unique relationship! This session will be candid and posed. Be free to have loads of fun and of course, enjoy!
A photography voucher is a fantastic gift for your friends and family for many occasions: a baby shower, birthday or Christmas and will be remembered for a long time. I offer a number of different types of gift vouchers to suit all budgets. Please contact me for more information.
About 3-4 weeks after your session (sometimes a lot sooner depending on my current workload), I will email or message you with a password for your private online proofing gallery. The online gallery will remain active for 30 days. Once full payment is received your prints will be ordered; they can take 2-3 weeks for delivery and longer for canvas, books or albums. All images will be stored and archived after 60 days. Once the gallery has been closed there will be a $25 fee to upload your gallery for an additional 7 days.
You can order your prints within your online proofing gallery. Once you have made your selections, send me an email or message on Facebook and let me know you have finished choosing your photographs to be printed. An invoice will then be sent back with payment details. No orders will be placed until full payment of chosen package has been made. Payments can be made by cash, Paypal, direct deposit & credit/debit card via Square.
