Newborn Photoshoots for Werribee Families

Parents from Werribee often book in with us at Awesome Possum Photography, and we’re always happy to see them walk through the door. At about 14 km, our Point Cook studio is close enough for an easy drive, even with a sleepy newborn in the back. If you want a newborn photographer in Melbourne who offers a quiet space and a newborn photoshoot shaped around your baby’s rhythm, you’re in the right place.

The first few weeks with a baby pass quickly, whether this is your first or your third. If you’ve been typing newborn photography near me into your phone between feeds, we’d love to help. Send us a message, and we’ll sort out the dates and details so you can focus on settling in at home.

Nothing about our newborn photography sessions is hurried. We set aside 90 minutes to 3 hours, which gives your baby time to feed, settle and sleep. Our studio stays warm, and we dress the set with soft wraps, simple textures and a few gentle props, so your baby’s tiny features stay the star. Mums, dads, and older siblings are welcome in front of the camera too, which makes your newborn family photos a record of the whole household, not only the newest member.

Babies are usually calmest and sleepiest between 5 and 14 days old, so we suggest locking in a date at around 32 weeks of pregnancy. If your baby arrives early or late, we’ll move the booking. After the shoot, you pick your favourites from a full gallery of individually retouched images. When you’re ready, book your newborn photoshoot and we’ll look after everything else.



What Happens at Your Newborn Photo Session

Unsure what a newborn photo session involves? Here’s how it works with your Melbourne newborn photographer, from the first message to choosing your photos.

1. Reach out. Contact us with your baby’s due date or birth date, and we’ll send a quote and our newborn photography packages.
2. Secure your date. Choose your package and complete a short booking form. We’ll send an agreement and an invoice to confirm your spot.
3. Read our prep guide. The day before, we email a simple checklist and questionnaire so we can plan your styling and know your baby’s little details.
4. Visit the studio. Come to our Point Cook studio with your baby fed and dressed in loose clothing to avoid seam marks. The room will be warm and cosy.
5. Choose your photos. Before you leave, view your images on a big screen and pick your favourites.

At the start of your newborn photoshoot, we chat, share ideas and let your baby settle. Feeds, nappy changes and cuddles come first, and we begin posing only when your baby is sleepy and calm. Then we add mum, dad and siblings for family photography. The result is natural newborn portraits that capture every tiny detail.

Babies sleep best at 5 to 14 days old, so book around 32 weeks of pregnancy. We can reschedule if your baby arrives early or late. Many mums also book maternity photography before the birth, so you can celebrate your pregnancy and your new baby with the same photographer.
