In-Home Newborn & Family Session – Gold Coast

There’s something really special about photographing a family at home in those first few days or weeks with a new baby. The pace is slower. The emotions are closer to the surface. There’s no rush to get anywhere or do anything “right.” You just get to be together — in your space, in your rhythm, finding your way.

This session took place in the family's light-filled home, where the baby had only just arrived earthside. You could still feel that fresh newborn energy — the kind that fills the house with quiet wonder and soft exhaustion. Big siblings were already smitten. There was lots of cuddling, a little chaos, and so much love in the in-between.

As a Gold Coast newborn and family photographer, these are the kinds of sessions I love most. No studio lights. No pressure to pose. Just the real stuff — a newborn tucked into your chest, the way your toddler clings to your arm while you feed the baby, the soft stretch marks and tired eyes that say: you did it.

We let the morning unfold slowly. There were snacks and stories, snuggles on the bed, quiet moments of feeding, and wild sibling giggles. It wasn’t perfect. It was real. That’s what makes it powerful.

You don’t have to clean the house. You don’t have to wear matching outfits. You don’t even need to brush your hair (seriously). All you have to do is show up as you are — and trust me to capture what matters.

In-home newborn sessions are perfect for families who want something meaningful, relaxed, and true to their season. The photos are soft, honest, and completely unique to you — because they're taken in the space where your story is unfolding.
