Timeless, Refined and Authentic documenting of your newborn bubble.

A family centred newborn experience, capturing your baby and all their little features in natural and organic posing, along with those special moments as a family.

The studio has everything you need for your session, including outfits for the whole family - you only need to bring yourselves, I will take care of the rest.

Contact me to arrange to book in. We book you in for your maternity (if choosing bump to bundle) and newborn session. Your Maternity Session will be scheduled for a date between 30-34 weeks.
Your Newborn session will be scheduled tentatively for your due date. This secures your booking in my calendar.

If you aren’t already, follow along on instagram - @ejp_the_studio

Newborn Timeline

Once baby arrives you let me know, ideally within 48 hours. We then schedule your newborn session, generally for day 8-10.

After your newborn session you will receive a sneak peek the following day.

Processing of your gallery commences and your final retouched gallery will be delivered within 4 weeks of your session.

Emma is such a warming and friendly soul to be around. She made my partner and I feel so comfortable and relaxed on our first outing with our baby to our newborn session in the studio. 

Our photograph’s she captured are my absolute favourite thing & Emma will always be our go to girl for capturing the most important moments in our lives.

Welcome to The Studio.

The studio is a purpose built building located on our family property in Gumly Gumly, NSW. 

Wall sized windows allow beautiful light to fill the comfortable space, creating a beautiful warmth and a clean aesthetic. With the focus just as it should be, on you and the connection you share with your dearest.

I have a set number of newborn sessions I can take per month and I generally book out up to 6 months in advance so I recommend booking your newborn session at 12 weeks of gestation, or at the point you feel comfortable to. There is no harm in reaching out if you are further in gestation, I do try to accommodate clients where possible.

What to expect from your session?

Your session will start at either 10 or 11am on a Monday - Friday. Please allow 2 hours for your session as I like to allow time for extra feeds and settling. My sessions are guided by your baby - if they are sleepy we begin with photos of them on the bean bag, if they need cuddling that is where we begin. By being flexible and going with your baby and their needs we will get all the images we need and more.

Tips for a successful session

  • Bring a dummy along - even if Bub does not usually take a dummy. They are great settlers for transitioning between poses

  • Give your baby a nice big feed before leaving for your session

  • Dress your baby in an easy to remove item of clothing

  • Don’t stress - I’ve got you! I love snuggling babies more than anything in the world - if your little one needs extra settling I promise I don’t mind.

  • If you are bringing siblings to the session - snacks are the best! Little models need full bellies. I recommend yoghurt drops, saltanas, rice cakes or tiny teddies (plain coloured - no staining).

All the work has been taken away so that you can remain exactly where you need to be – in your newborn bubble. Come for a visit and I will take care of the rest.

 FAQs

  • I always recommend neutral tones for the studio, minimal patterns, focussing more on texture. White, beige, browns work best in the studio. Please check out my Pinterest board for inspiration, noting tones and textures.

    The Studio also has its own wardrobe which has pieces for the whole family. The studio wardrobe is viewable “here”.

    Some of my favourite stores for neutral clothes are:

    Women:

    Sabo Skirt
    Dissh
    Petal and Pup
    Girl and the Sun

    Men:

    Assembly the label
    Cotton On

    Children:

    Sabo Mini
    Zara
    Soll
    Miann and Co

  • I highly recommend having your hair or makeup done, or both, if you usually have it done.

    I recommend: Makeup by Khiara, The Glow Lab, Megan Armstrong, Chelsea Price at the Hollow and Marney Angel.

  • Everything you need for your newborn baby is provided for you in the studio including clothing, wraps, nappies and wipes. If you have siblings coming to the session I recommend bringing them neutral coloured snacks and water bottles. Sometimes little ones just need a snack to keep the smiles going.

  • I photograph in the studio starting at 10am or 11am depending on the time of year for optimal light depending on where the sun is, however when siblings are involved I am happy to try and work in with their nap schedules where possible.

  • I like to allow 2 hours for your newborn session.

  • Sessions always flow best when we work with your baby and what their needs are at that moment. I flow my session depending on your baby, cuddling when needed or feeding when needed. So long as they are calm and happy we are going to have an amazing session!

  • I take so many newborn sessions per month depending on what I have to fit in with that month. Your booking is based on your due date and secures your photography session in my calendar for that month (or thereabouts depending on due dates and the actual arrival). Once baby arrives you let me know and we schedule in your actual session date for approximately 8 days after baby’s arrival.

  • I have a print store accessible through your online gallery which you are welcome to place orders through for all prints, albums and wall displays.
