Professional In-Home Newborn Photography Sydney

As a Sydney-based newborn photographer with over a decade of experience, I specialise in capturing the delicate beauty of newborns and their families. My in-home sessions bring a portable studio directly to your living room, ensuring comfort and convenience during those early weeks. I focus on timeless, natural poses that highlight your baby's unique features, complemented by tasteful props when desired.

Serving Sydney's Northern Beaches, Lower North Shore, and surrounding suburbs, I prioritise patience and professionalism to create images that families treasure. My background as a former photo editor and mother informs my approach to making sessions stress-free while delivering consistently beautiful results.

We were a bit nervous when choosing a photographer and a package for our newborn. Lena had some great reviews and seemed to be reasonably priced ( it can get very expensive in the northern beaches for photographers). We emailed asking a few questions and she got back to us promptly. We looked into her portfolio online and decided we would book with her. When we got to her house we had no idea what to expect as we have never been to a professional photographer but I cannot rave about her enough. First thing Lena did was wash her hands and put a mask on. We really appreciated that without even asking

Lena did our new born baby shoot at 4 weeks old, in her home studio and she was absolutely fantastic. Extremely professional, calm and loads of patience to take care of a new born during the shoot. We had a mini shoot booked but didnt feel rushed at all, it took her almost 3hours as our Bub was unsettled but she did her best to make us feel at rest, and calm our baby. The photos came back in less than 2 weeks and we were very happy with the quality, edits, shots and the moments captured. We can tell baby shoot is her passion, she does one shoot per day which definitely shows her complete attention

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! Lena was absolutely amazing, not only did she wear a mask and completely soothe our fussy baby, she went above and beyond to capture every shot perfectly. The photos speak for themselves, they are stunning. She really knows exactly what she is doing, all we had to do was sit back and let her work her magic. We have passed on her details to all our friends ! And we definitely be shooting with her again to capture all milestones for our baby.
Dont miss out on booking with Lena !!!

We loved our shoot with Lena. She was amazing with our 2 week old baby girl and was a total baby whisperer at settling her to get some fabulous shots. She took so much time to capture all the images we requested and also was able to quickly edit the images so we would have them to share with our families in time for Christmas. I would highly recommend Lena and we will treasure the photographs she captured of our little one. With thanks Lena!
