— About

Editorial photography, held by an early-childhood educator.

I'm Aline (pronounced 'A-li-ne') — a Northern Beaches newborn, maternity and family photographer working from a new and improved, quiet Mona Vale studio, providing these services for over 8 years across the Northern Beaches. Now home to the biggest, most well-equipped maternity and newborn studio from Palm Beach to North Sydney.

— Both hands, one session

The biggest, most well-equipped maternity and newborn studio from Palm Beach to North Sydney.

Before the camera, seven years in Australian early-learning rooms — settling newborns, reading tiny cues, keeping the room warm and unhurried. A Diploma of Early Childhood Education, WWCC verified, HLTAID012 First Aid.

The photography came from a film-school degree and fifteen-plus years in film, TV and commercial production — the same training ground as Brazil's film and television industry, including Globo. Every frame is personally lit, shot, retouched and graded.

— How it works

From first enquiry to your walls.

Six quiet steps. No pressure, no hidden costs, no surprises.

  1. 01

    Enquire

    One short form. Aline replies personally within one business day with availability, a full price list and any questions answered — no discovery calls, no pressure.

  2. 02

    Book & plan

    A booking fee secures your date. We chat through wardrobe, location, siblings, feeds and settle times — everything paced around your baby, not a schedule.

  3. 03

    Session

    Studio in Mona Vale, in-home, or on the Beaches. Warm, quiet, unhurried. Newborn sessions run at baby's pace — usually two to three hours with plenty of feeding and cuddling time.

  4. 04

    Hand retouching

    Every frame is personally culled, lit and retouched by Aline — no outsourcing, no filters. Skin kept natural, distractions removed, colour graded in her editorial style.

  5. 05

    Reveal on Zoom

    Within a week of your session we meet on Zoom. View the full gallery together, choose your favourite digitals and any prints, canvas or albums — from home, in your own time.

  6. 06

    Delivered

    Digitals arrive via a private gallery. Wall pieces and albums are made-to-order by our local pro lab and delivered within a few weeks.

The first weeks, held still.
