WELCOME TO THE MOTHERHOOD
You’ve officially created a tiny human— Blink and you will miss it! Sleepy snuggles, milk comas, and those heart-melting little smiles. The newborn wonderland is over before you can even appreciate all the tiny details.

WHY NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY?
Because one day, your little bundle of joy will transform into a fast-moving toddler, then little preppy and before you know it a 6-foot teenager who answers in grunts. You’ll want these photos to remind you of the quiet moments when they fit perfectly in your arms and looked up at you with nothing but pure love (and maybe some spit-up). These pictures will capture a time when the days felt long, but the years flew by.

YOUR BABY, YOUR STORY
Newborn photography isn’t just about cute outfits and sleepy poses. It’s about capturing the real, raw moments—those tiny fingers gripping yours, the peaceful naps on your chest, and the expressions that make you melt. These moments are fleeting, and they deserve to be documented beautifully.

WHAT TO EXPECT (WHEN YOU’RE EXPECTING... A PHOTOSHOOT)
In our cozy studio or at your home, we’ll take care of everything so you can focus on enjoying these moments. From swaddles and props to soft lighting and comfort breaks, we’re all about making sure your session is stress-free and fun. Whether baby’s snoozing, stretching, or giving us that perfect sleepy yawn, we’ll capture every bit of the magic.

And don’t worry if baby has a little cry or decides to be wide awake — those moments are part of the story too. Plus, we’ve got plenty of tricks (and snacks for you) to keep things flowing smoothly.

LET'S CREATE SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL ✨
Book your newborn session today, and let’s capture these first unforgettable moments—because they’ll only be this tiny once.

Read sweet stuff past clients have said – spoiler: it’s all kinds of lovely

  • Mel, the genius behind Capture That Photography, has photographed a family shoot of over 15 people for me, my maternity and then newborn photos of my daughter and has always delivered perfection. That's something I love about her and her work, she cares so much and makes sure her photos are 100%. My partner and I are not keen on having our photos taken but she made us feel comfortable and even gave us laughs along the way. I would definitely recommend choosing Capture That! I'll be having her take our family photos for the years to come 😊

  • Mel is warm, friendly and welcoming. She immediately made us feel comfortable and relaxed during our maternity/family/newborn sessions. She engaged my two young daughters (18 months and 3) and got some stunning pictures that my extended family now treasure, despite Ms 18 months being hangry and tired!
    We started our shoot with a photographer and left the shoot with a new friend. I can’t recommend Mel highly enough.

  • Mel has captured my maternity, newborn and 1st birthday cake smash photo shoots and I have truly beautiful images and memories of our family that I will be forever grateful for. I highly recommend Mel from Capture That Photography, I don’t know how she does it but on a few occasions my 2yo toddler did not want a bar of having her photo taken and was nothing but a miserable grump. When we received our photos I was blown away as we have the most beautiful natural images of my toddler smiling having a blast, unless you were there you would of not believed she was in that mood. Mel is nothing but amazing at capturing these special moments.

  • We have had the pleasure of Mel capturing so many of our precious moments... maternity, newborn & family too! She is amazing to work with!! So patient and kind and always determined to get the kids and hubby to smile :) shes makes you feel so comfortable and has always been so helpful leading up to the photos with any questions I have about outfit choices or colours or props we wanted to bring along.
    so glad we have so many beautiful memories to look back on! Can't wait to do another updated family photoshoot :) her work speaks for itself but it truely is amazing!!

  • Mel was amazing. She was very warm and welcoming for our newborn shoot. Oh and did I mention patient!! We were very happy with our photos and will treasure them for a lifetime. Highly recommended. Great value for money!

  • Melissa has done 2 of our newborn photos shoots and she is amazing! The reason we chose her for the second was not only her talent but her patience and willingness to work with our four children. She made us feel so comfortable and we had a lot of fun.
