Sunshine Coast Newborn Photographer
Celebrate the birth of your baby
Welcoming a newborn into the world is such a magical time. It is such a memorable and emotional time, that it will make you want to press pause some days and savour every second in awe at the tiny human you have created together.
Sadly we can’t press pause and before you know it the newborn stage is over and you can’t believe how big they are getting. Which is why I love to capture all the details, that over time you may forget.
All the babies that I am lucky enough to capture are treated with the same love and care that I would treat my own. I am here to give you the experience and photography style that is completely unique to me and one you won’t find anywhere else on the coast.
“Linzie will always make sure your family feels comfortable through her witty sense of humour and warm and caring nature. My children absolutely adore Linzie! She was able to gain their trust very quickly. Linzie has truly become like a friend over the years.” Rachelle
the studio.
When you arrive, you will be welcomed into my second home, my studio. Located in Bli Bli, a central town on the Sunshine Coast, I have built this space to offer my clients the most comfortable and elegant space for them to relax in during their session. With a fridge full of tasty drinks, a snack bar and treats to keep you going. You will love it!
the session.
I have over a decade of experience in photographing newborns. This should give you the confidence that I will deliver a gallery that you see from my portfolio. Nothing will phase me. An unsettled baby, no problem, I will give you tips on how to settle them. I want you to walk away having had the best time. I am here for the laughs and good chat and I promise to make you feel at ease. I reckon by the time you leave we will be friends and I know I will see you again!
the wardrobe.
With so many dresses to choose from, you don’t need to buy anything for your session. I have designer dresses that you would never consider buying for a shoot. But you will want to wear one of these. Most fit all sizes, but I have something for everyone. You will want to be borrowing one of the dresses. Not only that I have the cutest knits and wraps for your newborn. You really only need to bring yourselves and I will dress you!
the process.
Your newborn photography session could take 2 to 3 hours, depending on your package and if you have siblings. Once we are done, you will receive your gallery about 48 hours later (Friday’s gallery will be delivered on Monday). The link for the gallery will be emailed over to you and you will get to view it in the comfort of your own home. You will struggle to find many photographers who can deliver a fully edited gallery within a day or two. It comes with years of experience in getting it right in the camera, not taking on too many bookings that I can’t cope with, so that I have time to dedicate to you from when you arrive to when you receive your gallery.

Questions and answers
-
Ideally, newborn sessions are best when the baby is 5-14 days old, as they are usually sleepier and more cooperative during this time. That being said I can do newborns up to 4/5 weeks of age, even older. But to get the curly, sleepy shots it is best sooner than later.
-
Yes, I encourage including family members and siblings in the session. It's a wonderful way to capture the connection between you all.
-
Newborn sessions usually last 1.5 - 2 hours if it your first baby. When siblings are involved the process can take longer.
-
While most newborn sessions take place in my studio, I can do outdoor sessions on the Sunshine Coast, weather permitting.
-
Don't worry! I am incredibly patient and have 12 years experience in working with newborns. From time to time a newborn will fuss. Your baby’s comfort is very important to me. But I always get through it and you will never be disappointed.
-
You will typically receive your fully edited images about 72 hours after your session.
-
Yes, I offer high quality of print and product for your home. It is important to me that you have high quality products for your high quality images.
-
Safety and hygiene are my top priorities. I handle your newborn love with care and maintain a clean and sanitised studio environment. I have 16 years of experience with newborns and now train other photographers how to capture newborns safely.
-
Life is complicated and the unexpected is to be expected. So I am very flexible. Newborns being overdue or early, sickness, car broke down...whatever the reason we will move your session to another date. I don't do refunds. But happy to reschedule.
-
I have the most stunning client wardrobe for you to take advantage of. I have plenty to fit all shapes and sizes and takes away the headache thinking and buying an outfit that you most likely won’t wear again. The clothes play such a huge part in the creativity of your photos, that I ensure they make you look and feel incredible.
-
I do. I know how life is getting more expensive these days. So I can split your payments in 2, 3 or 4 instalments. As long as the full amount is received by the time we do the session.
-
No, I won't do that I am afraid. Out of respect to the other photographer, I would not want to copy their work. I have been doing this for over 10 years now. Seen trends come and go. But my style is unique and all mine. I come up with lots of poses in my own style and wrap the babies which is unique to me. I am happy to gather ideas together to come up with something special for you. But it is a no to copying.
