Welcoming a newborn into your life is raw, tender, and beautifully chaotic. That’s exactly how I approach your session - slow, gentle, and entirely baby-led.
I capture it all with a mix of soft, natural posing and documentary-style moments that feel real, relaxed, and full of love.
Got older siblings in the mix? Perfect. I’ll bring the negotiation skills, humour, and a mountain tricks to keep everyone happy. 
One day you’ll flip through these photos and smile, remembering just how tiny, sleepy, or wriggly they once were and how full your heart felt in those early days.

I BIRTHED A TINY HUMAN

When & where?

Those early days are a blur of sleepy cuddles, nappy changes, feeds - repeat! You're basically just figuring it all out as you go, with minimal sleep. That's why I come to you! No packing bags or rushing out the door.

I recommend between the ages of 5-12 days as this is when babies are sleepiest, more womb like, and therefore easier to manoeuvre and quietly capture - but ultimately, it’s up to you! 

I know what you’re thinking & don’t worry about frantically cleaning up before I arrive! We only need a couple of rooms and some beautiful window light to work with. And besides, I know exactly how messy kids are, my four are continually undoing all my hard work! I will happily move things around as we go (queen of hiding the mess!)

How long?

I generally allow 1-hour for newborn shoots. Sometimes longer if Bub needs extra settling or siblings take a little extra time to warm up to the camera.

I use a combination of posed and lifestyle photography, keeping the session as natural as possible.

"We have been incredibly lucky to have Nicole photograph our two youngest newborns. She has such a beautiful and gentle nature with newborns and her photos are treasured by our family. Our baby number five was born in 2021 and I knew Nicole would capture perfectly our large and busy family!! As Nicole is a mum of four herself, she has all the tips and tricks to keep little ones happy during family shoots. The photos reflect the love and joy of siblings getting to know their baby brother. We are looking forward to Nicole capturing more memories our family."
