first tagline goes here
Welcoming baby Levi into the studio was such a joy. His session was calm, cozy, and completely baby-led, and we even included a special touch from his mom’s maternity belly cast. Moments like these are why I love Pretoria newborn photography — creating soft, timeless memories for families who cherish every tiny detail.
Sweet little Milané already stole everyone’s hearts the moment she arrived. After three wonderful boys, she was her mommy’s quiet dream come true — a long-awaited little girl, perfect in every way.
Her session was filled with soft pinks, delicate florals, and the calmest sleepy poses. Such a joy to photograph this beautiful family and their precious new princess.

Milané
A tiny princess who completed her family in the sweetest way
At just a few days old, this little boy arrived with the sweetest calm energy, settling beautifully into every pose. From cozy wraps to those tiny detail shots, Wren melted into each setup as if he’s been modelling his whole life. Photographing him with his parents, Claudia and Matthew, was pure magic — simple, natural moments that show just how loved he already is.
As a Pretoria newborn photographer, these quiet, gentle sessions are my favourite: classic, peaceful images you’ll cherish for years to come.

Pretoria Newborn Photography Experience
With 17+ years of photographing newborns, I understand how to soothe, pose, and safely guide your little one into those soft, sleepy positions you love. Whether you're a first-time mom still finding your rhythm or a returning client welcoming your second or third baby, the session flow is baby-led, slow-paced, and tailored to your comfort.
Where your baby’s safety comes first — and the beautiful images follow naturally
**Your newborn session is designed to feel calm, guided, and completely stress-free.
From the moment you arrive at my warm Pretoria studio, everything is prepared for you — the temperature, the props, the wraps, and the posing flow. You can sit back, relax, and simply enjoy watching your little one being photographed safely and gently.**
With more than 17 years of experience, I know how to soothe, position, and photograph your baby without rushing. Every session is paced around feeding, comforting, and your baby’s natural rhythm. All you need to bring is yourselves — I take care of the rest.
I like to keep things simple
How The Process Works For Your Newborn Photoshoot
Reach out and share your due date and what you’d love for your newborn session. I reserve your spot around your delivery, whether baby arrives early or late.
If baby is already born, that’s okay — I try my best to fit in last-minute bookings.
From the start, everything is kept simple and stress-free for you.
step one: booking & planning
step one:
Once your session is booked, I’ll send you a simple prep guide and we’ll chat about colours, styling, and any special items you want to include. My Pretoria studio is fully stocked with beautiful wraps, outfits, and props, so you don’t need to bring anything unless you’d like to
Schedule your session
step two:
When you arrive, the studio is warm, quiet, and ready for you. I start with relaxed family and sibling portraits (seated for moms who need it), and then you can rest while I gently pose and photograph your baby. Sessions are completely baby-led with plenty of time for feeding, cuddling, and settling. You can sit back, have a coffee, and enjoy watching your little one being photographed safely and lovingly.
The newborn appointment
step three:
A few days after your session, you’ll receive an online proof gallery to view at home. You can take your time choosing the images you love most, without needing to travel back to the studio. From there, you simply select your preferred digital collection and decide whether you’d like to add albums, framed prints, or wall art.
Your portrait session
step four:
Once you’ve made your selections, I hand-edit each chosen image in my signature soft, timeless style. Digital files are delivered via download, and any printed pieces are carefully ordered from professional labs. Your artwork arrives ready to display — beautiful reminders of just how tiny your baby once was, and a keepsake your family can enjoy for years to come.
the reveal & ordering appointment
final step:
Your newborn session includes all props, wraps, and styling, along with a calm, baby-led experience in my cozy Pretoria studio. After the session, you’ll receive an online proof gallery so you can select your favourite digital images and artwork from home — no need to travel back to the studio. Everything is designed to be simple, comfortable, and completely stress-free for new parents.

FAQs as a Pretoria Newborn Photographer
Q: How long have you been a photographer?
A: I’ve been photographing newborns and families for over 17 years, and my studio in Waverley, Pretoria has been designed specifically for newborn safety and comfort. I’ve worked with hundreds of babies, and you can relax knowing your little one is in expert, gentle hands.
Q: When is the best time to book a newborn session?
A: YThe best time to book is during pregnancy — ideally between 28–34 weeks. I reserve your due date, and once baby arrives, we will schedule the session within the ideal 4–14 day window. If baby is already here, I’ll always try to fit you in.
Q: I just had a C-section and I’m still sore. Will the session be difficult for me?
Not at all. Many of my clients are C-section moms. Family photos are done seated, and you can remain resting while I work with your baby. My assistant helps with all lifting and carrying, and I bring baby to you for feeds. You don’t need to move around — just relax and heal.
Q: What if my baby doesn’t sleep?
No stress. Awake babies make beautiful photos too. Sessions are baby-led, and there’s plenty of time for feeding and soothing. I work with whatever your baby needs.
Q: What if my baby has flaky skin, baby acne, or scratches?
A: Very normal. I gently retouch temporary marks while keeping your baby looking natural and true to life. You don’t need to worry about this at all.
Q: What if my baby arrives early or late?
A: No problem. Your due date holds your spot, and once baby arrives, we adjust the session timing. Early or late, I make space for you..
