“The calmest, most beautiful experience…”

From the moment we walked in, everything just felt so peaceful. Karina created such a calm space for us and our baby, and nothing ever felt rushed or forced. She followed our little one’s lead the whole time, which meant we actually got to relax and enjoy it. The images… I honestly cried. They feel like us, just in the most beautiful way.

“Worth every single penny (and more)”

I went back and forth about booking a newborn session, but I’m so glad we did. These images are priceless. Karina has such a gift—not just in photography, but in how she makes you feel throughout the whole experience.

“More than photos—memories we’ll hold forever”

I was quite nervous bringing a newborn out so early, but Karina made it feel like a home away from home. She was so gentle and patient, and we never felt any pressure. The photos are just beyond anything we imagined—so natural, so full of love. These aren’t just pictures, they’re memories we’ll treasure forever.

“She just gets it”

Karina doesn’t pose babies in a stiff or unnatural way—she captures them exactly as they are. Every tiny detail, every little expression. It felt so organic and real, and that really shows in the final gallery. We now have the most beautiful, timeless images of our baby’s first days.

“Even with a fussy baby, she worked magic”

Our baby was not in the mood at all that day, but Karina was so patient and reassuring. She never once made us feel stressed. She just went with the flow and somehow still captured the most gorgeous moments. You’d never know from the photos how unsettled things were!

What way does it all work?

Your session is designed to feel slow, gentle, and completely centred around your baby. With plenty of time for feeding, settling, and cuddles, there’s no rush or pressure — just a calm, guided experience in a cosy space where everything is taken care of for you. From wardrobe to gentle posing, I’ll lead the way so you can simply relax and soak it all in.

We pencil in your session around your baby’s arrival by choosing a perferred session date during your booking.

Once baby is here, drop me a message and we’ll confirm if you’re happy to go ahead with the scheduled date or if you need a little more time.
When you arrive, everything will be prepared for you. I have a large selection of gorgeous, hand knit little outfits for your new arrival so you don’t have to worry about the little details.

My cosy, home-from-home studio is designed to feel calm, warm, and completely relaxed — a little pause from the outside world where you can settle in and take a breath.
Your session is entirely baby-led, with plenty of time for feeds, cuddles, and settling.

I’ll gently guide everything in a natural way, so you don’t need to worry about what to do — you can simply be present, soak up those early moments, and enjoy your baby.
Within 3-4 weeks after your session, you’ll receive a carefully curated online gallery filled with soft, timeless images.

From there, you can choose your favourites and relive this fleeting season for years to come — the tiny details, the connection, the feeling of it all.
