Arlia | Melbourne Newborn & Family Photographer

It was incredibly special to document Arlia’s very first days, as the first baby girl welcomed into her family. This in-home newborn photography session took place in the comfort of their Melbourne home, allowing us to slow things down and focus on the beauty of those early, fleeting moments. The session centred on sleepy newborn portraits, tiny details, and quiet family interactions—the soft cuddles, gentle holding, and calm presence that define the newborn stage.

At-home newborn sessions are perfect for creating natural, timeless images that feel deeply personal. Photographing Arlia in her own space meant capturing her exactly as she is in these early days, surrounded by familiarity and love. As a Melbourne newborn and family photographer, I’m drawn to documenting these tender beginnings in an honest and emotive way, preserving memories of connection, new roles, and the gentle rhythm of life with a newborn that families can treasure for years to come.
