You’re going to find it hard to wrap your head around this, baby-mama – but your already crazy hectic life is about to get a whole lot more wild!
I’m so darned excited for you, because there is SO MUCH good stuff coming. Teeny fingernails and toes, wide-eyed smiles, the warm weight of an infant asleep on your chest, and a tender heart so filled with love you’ll worry it may burst from the glorious, aching rawness of it all (I swear that bit feels better than it sounds!).
These will be the days of your life, my friend.
Let me help you slow it down a little –
in such an hour as this, there is no time to rush.
Why in-home..?
Why work with an in-home newborn photographer?
That is SUCH a great question.
I’m a big believer that our spaces embrace and shape us as we grow, which is why I feel it so fitting that we make a record of love and connection within your home – the place in which your teeny one’s sense of belonging will be so acutely tied.
Having your newborn and family photographs made at home will bring a deeper level of meaning and magic to the art we make, now and forever.
Telling this chapter, will commence a family tradition of love & belonging; a legacy of love to pass down to your babies, and to ensure you’ll ever remember what it felt like when they arrived to change your little family forever.
What’s it like..?
In-home photography sessions are relaxed and family-led.
I’ll come around and we'll spend an easy couple of hours together.
It’s a beautiful opportunity for you to slow down and completely *be* with one another. All the while I’ll gently guide you and create a space in which you’re able to organically show the connections you share – the bond you're forming with your littlest darling.
By the time I say goodbye, we’ll have made a visual and irreplaceable archive of how it felt in those hazy days of falling in love with your baby: the beginning of a beautiful lifelong love story.
What happens next..?
Our sweet and much-anticipated time together will come and go (as all good things tend to do), then a couple weeks later, I’ll send you a stunning gallery featuring your beautiful family doing what you do best: laughing, making memories and covering each other with love.
You’ll see your kiddie-winks’ sass and sparkle ignite your fierce, tender love for them in perfectly preserved and meaningful family portraits – and you’ll probably cry just a little bit too (happy tears though, I promise!).
You’ll select the ones you love the most, and they will be yours to keep forever; a tangible keepsake of a moment in time. An artful record of the reason and meaning of everything: love, belonging, and connection.

‘‘Nothing looked staged, and she could make any moment frame worthy.’’
It was really important for us to capture newborn photos of our baby girl Scarlet; we wanted to have lasting memories of this precious time. After doing some research, I knew Michelle was right for us; she ticked all the boxes with her in-home, natural and beautiful style - nothing looked staged, and she could make any moment frame worthy.
Our session felt relaxed and comfortable.
Michelle was lovely, and took the time to get incredible shots at our baby’s pace.
I was over the moon with the end result. Michelle captured our baby beautifully - I couldn’t have asked for more. We’ll treasure our photos and wall art forever.
For us the investment was absolutely worth it, and I cannot wait to have another session when Scarlett is a little older!

Investment
What will it cost?
Yes! Great question.
As a result of many years serving the families of the greater Geelong region, I’ve developed an online ordering experience and pricing structure that allows you to select exactly what you love, choosing only your favourites for purchase, based on your needs and budget.
Investment begins at $1100 and is designed to ensure you leave the experience with both the highest quality keepsakes for display, as well as digital files for sharing, personal printing, and archival purposes. ♥︎
What ’s next steps..?
If this all sounds like *exactly* what you’ve been looking for, it’s time to reach out!
We’ll chat details and dates, and you can fill me in on allll the delicious newborn nonsense getting ready to go down at your place (there are literally zero things I love yarning about more than chunky pretty babies!).
The arrival of freshly squishable newborns has a tendency to be rather unpredictable. As a family portrait photographer in Geelong, I love to offer my clients my whole self, with all the happy hand-holding and help that may be needed. I take a limited number of newborns monthly, and these typically fill up a few months in advance.
I’d recommend reaching out at your soonest convenience so we can get you on the calendar nice and early bird!
Lovers of the beautiful ordinary, I’m committing to very limited sessions in 2024, as I’ll be busy nurturing the education branch of my business. ♥︎
Please reach out as soon as you can if you hope for a visit in the coming year.
I do so wish I could catch memories for you all, but my calendar will reach capacity quicker than quick.
Love, Michelle
If you get baby fever like I get baby fever, come hang with me on Insta for all the deliciousness!
Oh, and while you’re there, reach out and say hello – as a Geelong family lifestyle photographer, getting to know my locals is one of my absolute favourite things (and I’d kinda love a chance to naww over your pretty baby, too!)
