Newborn Photography Truganina, Just 12 km from Our Studio
Truganina families regularly make the short trip to our Point Cook studio, and at Awesome Possum Photography we love welcoming every one of them. Just 12 km away, our newborn photography studio is an easy choice for parents who want a professional photographer, a calm setting, and a baby photoshoot planned entirely around their baby.
Truganina is a busy, growing suburb with plenty of young families, and many of the parents we meet are settling in with their first, second, or third little one. If you've been searching for baby photography near me, we'd love to be part of those early weeks. From your first message to the day you choose your favourites, we keep everything simple, so you can spend the time after the birth getting to know your baby.
Our newborn photo shoot sessions are never rushed. We plan 90 minutes to 3 hours, so there's always time for feeds, cuddles and settling, and we use soft wraps, textured blankets and gentle props to keep the focus on your baby's tiny details. Parents and siblings are welcome to join, so the photos tell the story of the whole family and not just the newest arrival.
Newborns are usually at their sleepiest around 5 to 14 days old, which is why many parents secure a date around 32 weeks of pregnancy. Afterwards, you'll choose your collection from a full gallery of individually retouched images. When you're ready, book your newborn photoshoot and we'll take care of the rest.
What to Expect at Your Newborn Photoshoot
Not knowing what the day involves is the most common worry we hear from new parents, so here is how it goes from start to finish.
- Get in touch. Send us a message with your baby's due date or birth date, and we'll reply with a quote and package options.
- Choose your package and date. Once you've picked what suits you, you fill in a short pre-booking form. We send back an agreement and a booking invoice to hold your date.
- Prepare with our guide. The day before, we send a simple prep guide and questionnaire so we know your styling ideas and any little details about your baby.
- Come to the studio. Bring your baby fed and comfortable if you can, and dress them in loose clothing so their skin has no marks from tight seams. We'll have the room nice and warm.
- Choose your favourites. Before you head home, you can look through your images on a large screen and pick the ones you'd like in your collection.
On the day, we start slowly. We say hello, talk through your ideas and let your baby settle. Feeds, nappy changes and cuddles happen whenever your baby needs them, and the camera simply waits. When they're sleepy and relaxed, we move into gentle poses, then bring in parents and siblings. This calm approach is what gives you newborn photos in Truganina that look natural and unposed, with your baby's tiny details clearly visible.
Sessions work best when your baby is around 5 to 14 days old, and we're happy to adjust the date once they arrive.

Styling Your Newborn Session: Ideas for Truganina Parents
You don't need to arrive with everything planned. Every baby and every family is different, so we'll talk through your ideas before the day and shape the session around what feels right for you. With soft wraps, knits, headwear and outfits to choose from, newborn photography with props stays gentle and uncluttered, and your baby is always the focus. Here are some styles parents often love:
- Timeless and neutral: creamy wraps, soft textures and natural tones that never go out of style
- Pops of colour: a knit hat or headband that matches the nursery in your Truganina home
- Tiny details: fingers, toes, eyelashes and sleepy curled-up poses
- Parent portraits: hands holding baby, or a quiet moment close together
- Sibling moments: a big brother or sister leaning in for a gentle cuddle
- Whole-family portraits: everyone together, relaxed and close, with newborn and family photos that show the bond you share

Common Questions From Truganina Parents
Is your studio easy to reach from Truganina?
Yes. Our Point Cook studio is about 12 km away, which is roughly a 10 to 15 minute drive depending on traffic. The studio is warm and quiet, with space to settle, feed and change your baby when you arrive.
When should I book my newborn session?
Ideally around 32 weeks of pregnancy. Newborns are usually at their sleepiest between 5 and 14 days old, so we hold a date around your due date and adjust it once your baby arrives.
Can siblings and grandparents join the session?
Of course. Parents, brothers, sisters and grandparents are all welcome, and we make time for family portraits with everyone who comes along.
How long does the session take?
Plan for anywhere between 90 minutes and 3 hours. There's no rush, and we pause whenever your baby needs a feed, a cuddle or a nap.
Do you photograph older babies too?
Yes. Once your baby is a few months old, we can plan infant photography sessions to capture those first smiles and milestones.
