Booking Your Newborn Session with Alana-Marie Photography

Mount Cotton Newborn Photographer | Redlands | Brisbane | Gold Coast


Welcoming a new baby into the world is one of life’s most beautiful moments — and it deserves to be captured with care, creativity, and heart. At Alana-Marie Photography, we specialise in natural, heartfelt newborn photography in our cosy in-home studio in Mount Cotton, Brisbane.


Whether you're a first-time parent or adding to your growing family, here’s everything you need to know about booking your newborn session with us.

📅 When to Book Your Newborn Session


We recommend booking your newborn session while you’re still pregnant — ideally in your second or early third trimester. This helps us pencil in a session around your estimated due date and ensures availability in those precious first few weeks after your baby arrives.

Once your baby is born, simply get in touch to confirm a session date — ideally within the first 14 days, when your newborn is most likely to be sleepy, curled up, and oh-so-snuggly.


👶 What if My Baby Is Older?


Missed the two-week window? No worries! Beautiful and meaningful portraits can be captured at every stage. Slightly older newborns may be more awake and expressive, and those wide-eyed stares and little yawns are just as magical.

💕 Special Note for Preemies & Multiples


Premature babies and twins/triplets may have longer hospital stays, and their “sleepy and squishy” window can last a little longer. We’re more than happy to accommodate these unique needs, and there’s no extra charge for multiples — you’ll pay the same session fee as for a single newborn.




📸 What to Expect


Before your session, we’ll have a quick chat to go over your style preferences, favourite colour palettes, and how to prepare. Don’t worry — it’s simple and stress-free.

On the day of your session:

Just bring your baby, any bottles, comforters, or special items you’d like to include

Sit back and relax in our comfortable studio space

Enjoy a warm coffee, have a chat, and watch your little one be gently guided through a series of sweet, natural poses

Alana will take care of everything — from wrapping and soothing to capturing those dreamy details you’ll treasure forever.
