Our newborn photos turned out incredible! Lefki was so patient with our 2 week old baby and was incredibly professional, sweet and gentle with Bub from start to finish. She went the extra mile to set up gorgeous props so we had plenty of options on the day. Very very happy with the end result, will definitely do all of my childrens photos through First Moments.

Elle was so easy to work with made us feel very comfortabe and happy to personalise everything. Our baby was not the perfect baby on the day but she managed to get amazing photos and he looked like he was having a great time in them. She didnt stop till she got photos she knew we would love. Highly recommended. Very professional. And you can tell she loves what she does. Great with babies.

The experience was great as elle was very patient, and lovely decor. However the cake that was used during the photoshoot was not soft icing. The icing and cake was still hard. We took home the cake and the icing was still hard...that alone was disappointing. The photos were not desirable because it defeated the cake smash idea.

I got my daughter's first cake smash photos done with Elle and they were absolutely perfect. The set up was beautiful and the end results were an aww factor. She is such a beautiful lady and very chill. Will be using her again. 10/10
