Preparing for Your Gentle Yarra Valley Newborn Photoshoot
To ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience, we provide comprehensive guidance on how to prepare for your newborn photoshoot. Ideally, these sessions are best scheduled within the first 5-14 days after birth when babies are still very sleepy and flexible. We’ll discuss everything from optimal feeding times and comfortable clothing for parents to creating a warm, quiet space for in-home sessions. Our goal is to make the process as stress-free as possible, allowing you to relax and enjoy watching us capture these fleeting moments.
Consider a pre-session chat at one of the Yarra Valley’s charming local cafes, such as a quaint spot near the Healesville Sanctuary area, to discuss your vision and any specific requests. This ensures we’re perfectly aligned before your baby’s big day.
Creating Lasting Memories: Art for Your Home
Beyond capturing beautiful images, our mission is to create tangible heirlooms – stunning prints, albums, and wall art that will be cherished by your family for generations. These aren’t just photographs; they are artistic renditions of your baby’s earliest days, a testament to the love and joy they bring into your lives. From classic portraits to more artistic compositions, each image tells a part of your family’s unique story, a story we are honoured to help you tell.
At Image by SD, we believe in the power of professional photography to freeze time, allowing you to revisit the wonder of your newborn’s first moments again and again. Our dedication to safety, artistry, and a truly gentle approach ensures an unforgettable experience and breathtaking results.
