Newborn Photography in Melbourne — Image by SD
Welcoming a newborn into the world is magical — a moment filled with love, emotion, and wonder. Those tiny fingers, sleepy smiles, and soft yawns disappear faster than you realise. That’s why many Melbourne parents choose professional newborn photography to preserve these fleeting moments forever.
At Image by SD, we specialise in capturing newborn portraits that feel natural, simple, and full of love — without overwhelming props or forced poses. Our approach is calm, baby-led, and safety-focused, ensuring both parents and baby feel relaxed throughout the entire session.
Why Choose a Professional Newborn Photographer in Melbourne?
While smartphones can capture everyday moments, newborn photography requires:
- Expert knowledge of safe newborn posing
- Controlled lighting to highlight delicate baby features
- Editing skills to produce timeless, magazine-quality images
Our newborn sessions are designed with comfort and safety as the top priority. We ensure your baby is always warm, supported, and posed gently.

When Should You Book Your Newborn Photoshoot?
Best time: between 5–14 days after birth.
During this period, babies are sleepier and easier to pose. However, we welcome newborn sessions up to 6 weeks old.
We recommend booking your date during the third trimester.

- Studio newborn photography (Melbourne): perfect for styled portraits, wraps, and controlled lighting.
