Those First Fleeting Days

Tiny fingers, sleepy sighs, that new-baby smell — captured before it disappears.

The newborn stage moves fast. One week they're curled up asleep on your chest, the next they're wide awake and changing by the day. I photograph this stage the way it actually feels — soft, sleepy, a little chaotic, and utterly precious — so you have something real to look back on, not just a posed portrait on a wall.

The Studio Experience

Newborn sessions ask a lot of new parents, so my studio is built to make it easy. It's warm, quiet, and unhurried. Refreshments are on hand, the pace is entirely baby-led, and there's no clock-watching — we work around feeds, cuddles, and naps, however long that takes.

Prefer Home?

Some families would rather stay in their own space during those first precious weeks, and I'm happy to come to you. Your home, your baby's own room, familiar light — it all becomes part of the story. Either way, the approach stays the same: gentle, patient, and centred entirely on your family.

What to Expect?

Location

Hue and Her Studio, 16 Cockle Place, Stillwater, Auckland. Plenty of driveway parking is available.

Sessions are held within the first two weeks of birth. Please notify me as soon as your baby arrives so we can finalize your studio date.

Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your session time so we can get your baby changed. Both parents should arrive fully dressed for the shoot.

This is a soft, natural, and relaxed lifestyle session. There are no stiff poses—just intimate cuddles, quiet feeding moments, and honest storytelling. We aim for a slow, baby-led rhythm that usually lasts about one hour.

My studio is fully styled, but please bring spare nappies, wipes, water, snacks for yourselves and any siblings, and any sentimental heirlooms you wish to include.

Neutral, soft tones photograph beautifully. Think whites, creams, beige, dusty rose, or soft sage. Please avoid logos or bold patterns.

Siblings are warmly welcome. I recommend arriving with a partner or support person who can take younger children out for a little break after the family images are complete, allowing us to focus quietly on the baby.
