My husband and I would highly recommend Shmily Photography team for beautiful treasured newborn photos! We were so impressed with their professionalism , attention to detail and skills in not just photography but also handling our baby. They were efficient and gentle at the same time. They were able to wrap my baby girl so skilfully and gently when she usually doesn’t like to be wrapped. They were also able to settle her when she started to fuss. They have wonderful variety of props and knew exactly how to get the best photos. Really appreciated that they came to the home to do the photo session and we loved the results! Quick turnaround for the photos too. Happy to have used them for our newborn baby girl photos

We are SO happy we found Gavin to do our newborn pictures. He was extremely responsive via email, kindly answering every question I had. His studio is beautiful and professional. He was so warm and welcoming- it was such an comfortable session. He was extremely gentle and careful with our baby and I trusted he was in great hands the entire time. He is extremely attentive to detail and had everything prepared before we had gotten there. He took extra time in getting a picture of our daughter with a prop we brought. He was very concerned about her safety just as much as he was with getting the perfect shots. His style of photos are timeless and beautiful. I have no doubt we will absolutely love and cherish these pictures- I cannot wait to see them. Thank you so much Gavin! I would absolutely recommend him as a newborn photographer for anyone in the Melbourne

I would count SHMILY PHOTOGRAPHY's team as one of the most dedicated and responsible young professionals in Melbourne as far as I know. It was a quite easy decision for my husband and I to give our trust to Shmily for our pre-wedding photos at the first visit, as we were impressed by its previous works and one-stop service. Shmily's team are patient listeners who met our specific request to great extent, customising a schedule for our photo shooting day. Their flexibility and creativity also helped capture some amazing scenery and moments totally beyond our expectation. In a nutshell, we are very grateful that our most sentimental photos in life were delivered by these passion-driven professionals. Highly recommend everyone to visit Shmily, when you will make the same decision as us.:)

Newborn Photography FAQs

The best way to choose a Newborn Photographer is to find one who can really capture the personality of your little one.

Because our fine art photography style captures beautiful moments with babies as they rest peacefully, Shmily Photography is known as the favourite Newborn  Photography studio in Melbourne!

 We find Newborn Photography shoots work best when babies are 7-15 days old. 

This is because the positions they sleep in and the poses they adopt are uniquely sweet and cuddly – creating the most adorable photographs ever! 

Yes, sibling and family photos are included in our package – FREE of additional fees!

Just picture a happy snap of your family and friends, all crowded into one of  our Newborn Photography sessions!

At Shmily Photography, we love it when you bring the whole gang! It makes for  such a fun-filled and memorable day. We look forward to seeing you all on the day.

It depends on babies. We will never rush a photo session and are happy to spend as  much time as we need. The average session time is about 2 hours.

When it comes to scheduling a photo session with a baby, it’s important to keep in mind that their needs may differ from those of older children or adults. One crucial consideration is feeding. Depending on the age of the baby, they may need to eat frequently, so it’s a good idea to bring along baby formula and food to the session.

Here are our top tips on how to prepare for your Newborn  Photography shoot: 

  •  We recommend bringing a dummy so your baby stays happy, restful and relaxed. 
  • Give your baby a feed before the photo session so they are happy and full.
  • Light colour outfits for parents and siblings would be preferred.
  • We will provide everything we need for the Newborn Photography shoot,  including props and wraps.
