A little about me…

This is me, Cornelia! Hard to believe, but I used to be a numbers person! Now I am a full-fledged peoples person who loves the beauty of photography. So even as you are reading this, know that the part I look forward to the most, is getting to know you and your family.

My kids might be a littler older now, but just like you, I once eagerly anticipated the arrival of a new little baby in our lives. But I got so caught up in all the advice I received, my doubts of “I don’t know what I’m doing”, trying to get some semblance of a routine, and ‘when oh when will I ever sleep again???”, that looking back it feels like much of it passed in a blur… So even though we did take newborn photos which I am so grateful for, I often feel that I should’ve been “in the moment” more, ya know? Cherishing those first few weeks with baby rather that just surviving it…

I feel so strongly about this that I now go out of my way to create real moments of connection for families during photoshoots as they gush over their newborn. Guiding you to pause, take it all in and just be in the moment. This not only results in emotion-filled photographs, but you as parents create “mindful memories”. This means every time you look at that photograph, you will feel like you’re right there in that moment again. Kissing your baby’s head and breathing in their scent. Watching your toddler snuggle their new sibling. I get goosebumps every time I think about it!

And when I am not helping families make and capture memories with their newborns, you will find me close to nature and close to my loved ones. Making mindful memories of my own…

A little about your session…

When you book a session with me, you can know that I will be with you every step of the way, to help you feel prepared, relaxed and excited for your session! My Client Experience Guide addresses everything from what to wear, how to prepare, and what to expect during and after your session.

On the day of your photoshoot I bring a selection of wraps and props with me, and we take our sweet time photographing this special moment in your life. This means lots of time for breaks, feeds, nappy changes and snacks for toddlers. My priority is to make this photoshoot as memorable and stress-free for you and your family as possible.

The majority of photographs will be candid shots focused on family connection, but will also include some posed shots of baby only.

Your Investment

Freezing a moment in time of your family truly is an investment. Below you can find my standard packages, but I also work with clients to put together custom packages should these not fall within their budgets.

Newborn Session : $370

Session includes a +/- 2.5hr customized lifestyle photoshoot in your home, as well ALL edited, digital images delivered through an online gallery.

Maternity session add-on: $150, 15 digital images

For your convenience, your online gallery will also be linked to a professional printing lab. This means that rather than download photos, taking it to a lab to be printed and picking it up later (who has time for that with a new baby!?!), you can order prints and canvasses right from your couch, and it will be delivered right to your doorstep.

I only book a limited number of newborn sessions per month, so get in touch below to pre-book your session with me based on your due date.
