Studio Newborn Photography in Brisbane | Blury Photography
Welcoming a new baby is one of the most tender, emotional seasons of life and your studio newborn photography session in Brisbane is about honouring exactly that.
We will help you feel calm, prepared, and confident walking into your studio newborn session because you don’t know what you don’t know… until now.
After photographing hundreds of families, I bring not only experience, but deep understanding as a mum myself. My goal is to remove the guesswork so you can arrive relaxed, present, and ready to soak it all in.
Let Go of Expectations & Embrace the Chaos
The most important thing you can do before your session? Release expectations.
There may be moments when things don’t go to plan, a toddler meltdown, a feeding pause, a baby who wants extra cuddles. These moments are not interruptions. They are often where the most honest, emotive photographs are made.
Remember the why behind your photos:
- To capture a real season of your life
- Not to pretend everything is always perfect
- To look back years from now and remember how it truly felt
This isn’t the time for constant disciplining or asking kids to be on their “best behaviour.” Let them play. Let them laugh. Let their hair be a little wild. That’s where the magic lives.
Prepare Ahead of Time (Your Future Self Will Thank You)
Give yourself plenty of time to prepare, not just the day before, but in the weeks leading up to your session. This includes:
- Wardrobe planning
- Hair and makeup appointments (if you choose)
- Organising outfits for littles
There are so many things I wish I knew before my first family photo session and that’s exactly why I guide you through this process now.

Preparing Your Newborn
Every baby is beautifully different. Some sleep deeply through their session, others stay wide‑eyed and curious. Either way, we will create images that mean the world to you.
For the best chance at a settled (and possibly sleepy) newborn, I recommend:
- Keeping baby awake for 1+ hours before the session (including during the car ride)
- Feeding as close to session time as possible so they arrive with a full tummy
- Bringing a pacifier, even if it’s not used often, it can help with settling
A Note on Newborn Skin
Dry, flaky skin is completely normal for newborns. Please don’t stress as it can be edited if you wish.
It’s best not to apply oils or moisturisers the night before, as these often increase flakiness rather than help.
Bub Is the Boss 🤍
Your baby leads the session.
I follow their cues, gently posing them in natural, comfortable ways. We pause whenever needed for feeds, cuddles, or settling — there is always time.
Wraps and neutral outfits for baby are provided, keeping things simple and timeless.
Preparing Toddlers & Older Siblings
As a mum myself — and someone who works with children every single week — I’m more than ready for toddler and child antics.
Photo day can feel like an unknown situation for littles, and every child responds differently. There is space for feelings here. There is time to breathe.
Helpful ways to prepare your kids:
- Talk about the experience ahead of time
- Read our children’s book “Indi’s Picture‑Perfect Day” and chat about what will happen
- Bring a backup outfit (or two!)
- Pack dry, no‑mess snacks and water
I leave plenty of room for kids to simply be kids. My approach is play‑based photography no stiff posing, no forced smiles. I’ll guide them gently toward natural connection and joy.
Be Present (This One Matters)
Your session is an invitation to be fully here.
Practically, this means:
- Leaving phones and devices in the car
- Soaking up the snuggles
- Leaning into the quiet moments and the laughter
This isn’t about getting the “perfect shot.” It’s about experiencing your family as they are, right now
