Family & Newborn PHOTOGRAPHY MELBOURNE
Images of warmth & love that celebrate your lives together.
Family and newborn photography that embraces what makes your family wonderfully, uniquely you, capturing the moments and details that you never want to forget.
Let's WORK TOGETHER
Welcome. I'm DelanIe.
I've always had an obsession with photos. When I had my youngest daughter, I organised three photo shoots in six months. Yep.
At the time I couldn’t quite place why they didn’t feel entirely right to me. I mean - did I receive beautiful photos of my little one? Yep…but they didn’t quite feel like ‘us’. I knew I wanted something else…something that showed our own particular ‘us-ness’, so I set out to create the type of lifestyle photography I’d wanted for myself.
I’ve had a long-time love of documenting the wonderfully ordinary - as well as the extraordinary details of life. I blogged, scrapbooked and photographed for many years before my children arrived, capturing my life, loves and travels but the urge to make lifestyle photography my full-time gig came after a little metaphorical push from my husband whilst I was on maternity leave. To make a creative life MY life: mostly bliss!
And it’s a privilege to do what I do. To observe and capture love is a pretty brilliant job to have.

THE EXPERIENCE
I want our photo session to feel like a visit from a good friend - you've thrown the mess in a cupboard, put on clean clothes and now all that's left is to enjoy the time spent together.
There is something so real and intimate about Fresh 48 sessions, held in hospital when your little one is so incredibly new. The emotions, the love, it's all so immediate. There are gorgeous details to capture but it's the look in the parents' eyes that gets me every time. It's not until you hold your baby in your arms, you realise how much the world has now changed. That moment, that feeling, that's what I want to preserve for you. See more.
Fresh 48 Sessions
Parents, siblings, even a grandparent or two. All are welcome in my newborn sessions. While there is an emphasis on your new little baby with those tiny toes and wrinkles, stretches and yawns, my newborn photography sessions capture the crazy wonderful that is your family as you adapt to this new stage of life, producing images that are candid and real.

Ash and Ryan
Even though we have had professional photos done of all of our kids when they were born these are the only photos that have made me FEEL THINGS.
You were beyond patient with our uncooperative toddler, and still managed to capture the most beautiful, natural moments of our family just being together. You made us feel so relaxed and comfortable, and this really shows in the photos.

I am so happy we chose you to take photos of our family!
PROCESS
Plan
Get in touch and we'll plan the perfect session for you. Once booked in with contract and retainer, I'll send through a questionnaire to learn more. You'll receive my session guide, with info on what to expect during our session, and I'm here to answer any other questions you have.
Capture
Let me know when your little one has arrived and we'll finalise our session time. I'll take photos, you just enjoy the wonder you created! I'll prompt you as needed, but if you hug your loved ones close we're off to a great start.
Enjoy
Three weeks later, you will receive a link to your private online gallery. Gather together to watch the slideshow, choose your favourites and download the full-sized images included in your collection.
WELCOMING MARTHA
These parents were head over heels in love with their brand new baby girl, only 23 hours old. They booked a Fresh 48 session for share some of these first moments together with family and friends overseas. And baby Martha delivered!
