The First 14 Days

— A note before we begin

Your baby is in safe, experienced hands

Booking a newborn session in those first blurry weeks is a real act of trust. I don't take it lightly.

Before I was a photographer, I spent years as a childcare professional — on busy days, caring for up to fifty babies. I have settled more fussy newborns and read more tired little cues than I could count. Soothing and reading babies is second nature to me. That is the quiet engine behind every calm session.

Alongside that, I trained in film, cinema and photography — so the way I see light and movement comes from a craft background, not a weekend course. The result is unhurried sessions in my Mona Vale studio, where your baby is gently led, never forced, and you can finally exhale.

This guide walks you through everything that makes a session calm — when to book, what to wear, how to time feeds and sleep, and what to expect on the day.

With warmth,
Aline
