Hi, I’m Sarah.

I’m a newborn, maternity, and family photographer based in Ocean Grove.

I create soft, timeless imagery for families who want their memories documented in a natural and heartfelt way. Whether in my light-filled studio or outdoors at sunset, every session is designed to feel calm, effortless, and genuinely connected.

Motherhood moves quickly, and the smallest seasons often become the ones we long to hold onto most. My role is to gently guide you through an experience where you can slow down, be present with your loved ones, and preserve this chapter exactly as it feels.

Because one day, these fleeting moments will mean everything.

When to Book Your Session

The early days with your baby pass in the gentlest blur, which is why planning ahead allows you to fully settle into them when they arrive.

For newborn sessions, most families book during their second trimester to ensure a place in my calendar. Your session is then reserved around your due date, with plenty of flexibility once your baby is here.

If your baby has already arrived, you’re always welcome to reach out — I’ll do my best to accommodate you where I can.

Ocean Grove Studio

Newborn sessions are often your baby’s first time out of the house. I designed my natural light studio in Ocean Grove to be a warm, cosy, and welcoming space, where soft, neutral earthy tones create a calming atmosphere for your session. The studio offers a safe, relaxed environment for you to feel comfortable and at ease. With its easy accessibility and gentle, natural light, it’s the perfect place to capture those precious moments in a way that feels as effortless and beautiful as your connection.

Location: My home studio in Ocean Grove, a quiet neighbourhood central to Geelong, Bellarine and Surfcoast.

Duration: Up to two hours. This allows time for feeding and settling.

Timeline: Newborn sessions are best taken between 1-2 weeks to get beautiful sleeping shots. However, baby sessions can be taken at any age. Older baby sessions are lovely as they capture the connection between you and your baby.
