— About

Editorial photography, held by an early-childhood educator.

I'm Aline — 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.
