Guide on how to dress your family
Hi, I’m Sarah.
I am so excited to share my passion with you.
If you are looking for a relaxed, natural, and enjoyable photography session, I would be honoured to freeze these precious moments in time for you to treasure. Your family is ever-changing and growing. You will never regret the memories that you captured - only those you didn’t.
I have a burning desire to ensure women feel beautiful during pregnancy, post-partum and in motherhood. I believe your family should be documented in soft, timeless photographs focused on genuine connection. It’s more than just photos, I create a calm, comfortable experience so you can relax, be present, and soak in the moment with your loved ones.
After all, they’ll never be this little again.
Fresh 48/ In-hospital
Taken within the first 48 hours after birth, this session documents your baby’s first hours earth-side—right in your hospital room at St John of God Geelong or University Hospital Geelong (Barwon Health). A gentle, documentary-style experience that captures raw emotion and real moments before you head home.
Newborn & Family
A relaxed, unhurried experience in my natural light studio in Ocean Grove, Geelong. This session includes baby-led posing, soft neutral styling, and the opportunity to include parents and siblings. Perfect for capturing your baby's early details and family connection in a calm, welcoming space.
Just Baby
A sweet, minimal session focused on your baby only. Using natural tones and gentle textures, the Just Baby session is perfect if you’re after simple, timeless portraits in my Belmont studio. It’s often shorter than a full newborn session but still full of heart.
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.
