Newborn Photographer Melbourne & Mornington Peninsula
Timeless in-home or studio newborn photography, for the moments we yearn to preserve
Option 1- Studio Newborn Photography
Pure - Timeless - Minimalist
Come to my cosy studio for a gently posed baby-led newborn session. The Frankston-based studio is a warm and intimate space, exclusively designed for Jo’s signature newborn style; soft, airy and timeless.
My goal is that from the moment you step inside, you’ll feel a sense of calm and peace, from which we can create some beautiful memories together.
The sessions capture a mix of family, sibling and baby only images, capturing all the tiny details of your baby’s newness.
A carefully selected neutral wardrobe for Mumma and baby is available to take the stress out of planning your outfits.
This type of newborn session is ideal with babies around 1-2 weeks old to capture their adorable ‘squish,’ but it also works well with older babies too.
50+ images are presented in a personalised gallery, with a mix of colour and black and white images.
Is this for you? If you want guaranteed light and airy newborn images, or don’t feel that your home space is suitable for an in-home session, this is for you. Please note, if you have an energetic toddler, you might be better suited to an in-home photography session.

Option 2- In-home Newborn Photography
Timeless - Relaxed - Uniquely You
A perfect blend of documentary and gently posed newborn photography in the comfort of your home. This allows you to be relaxed in your own environment. I aim to get a mix of family, sibling and baby-only moments, including their perfect little details.
This style of photography is unique to your home, combined with some of Jo’s signature newborn photography. You will have access to my collection of luxury wraps and blankets, and I come all ready to set myself up in a well lit space.
This type of newborn session is ideal with babies around 1-2 weeks old to capture their squishy tininess, but it also works well with older babies too.
50+ images are presented in a personalised gallery, with a mix of colour and black and white images.
Is this for you? If you have a toddler who would be more comfortable in their own environment, or if you prefer the convenience of someone coming to your home, this is for you. Please note, if your house doesn’t have a good amount of natural light, the studio option might be a better fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book a newborn photography session?
Easy! Just make contact >>here and tell me your due date. I will be in contact with some extra information and instructions on how to pay your deposit. Once your deposit is paid your booking is finalised, and we touch base when your baby is born to book a session date.
Where do you travel to for a newborn photoshoot?
For newborn photography sessions, I travel to most suburbs in Melbourne and Mornington Peninsula regions. A travel fee will incur if travel is beyond one hour from Frankston.
What if my newborn is born early or late?
No worries at all. I only take a certain number of newborn bookings per month so I always have flexibility in my schedule to accommodate early/late arrivals.
How long does the newborn photography session last?
Typically 2 hours (give or take 30 minutes). I work around your baby’s schedule and allow time for feeding and changing.
Can I include my pet in a newborn photography session?
Pets can absolutely be included for the in-home option. I love animals and always encourages clients to include them in their newborn photoshoot, if it is safe to do so.
How does payment work?
You pay the a $250 deposit to secure your session. The remaining balance is paid on the week of the session. Once you receive your newborn gallery, you can select the 8 images that are included in the price. If you choose to upgrade, you can do so for as long as your image gallery is live.
Can I do an outdoor newborn photoshoot?
Absolutely you can, but please note it may not be possible for me to get the detail shots, or strip the baby down for some of the images that you see in my portfolio. This would be more of a relaxed candid shoot, similar to that of my outdoor work >>here
What happens after the newborn photoshoot?
After the photoshoot, I lovingly spend time editing your images in a mix of colour and black and white. The hours spent in post-production lead to a collection of timeless images that will work well together in a series, if you choose to print and frame multiples.
An online gallery is delivered to you, from where you can make your final selections.
Do you retouch?
I retouch your final selections. They are retouched in a very natural way though, so retaining the natural beauty of your baby.
What about printing?
This is optional. If you choose to print, you can order through your gallery store or find your own printer.
I am not here to do any hard selling so you can decide the on the route that you take for prints.
I am a huge believe in breathing life into images by printing them, so if you do decide to print through me, I can help you with options.
