When Tammy first enquired about having her newborn and maternity photos done, I was excited to know that she too was from South Africa. It’s always a treat and gave us a lot to talk about! :) Moving and living away from your family and starting your own has its challenges, but they wanted only the best for their baby girl and believed that Australia would offer her the best opportunities growing up.
During their maternity session I so enjoyed seeing how gentle Mark was with Tammy, always considerate and ever so loving! It was easy to see that they would simply lavish their little girl with love from her first moment!
Then, Thalia’s newborn session – what a gorgeous girl! I was in South Africa when Thalia was born, visiting my friends and family, so when I returned I couldn’t wait to get little Thalia in studio! Mark had already returned to work so when Tammy couldn’t get to me sooner, I visited her at their home for the first part of Thalia’s newborn session and did their family portraits on the weekend. Thalia was a dream, and is the quietest, most peaceful girl.
I look so forward to photographing her again when she is sitting on her own! And the beautiful family dogs, two cocker spaniels, might just have to join in as they stole my heart! ;)
If you are looking for a Brisbane maternity and newborn photographer, look no further! I would love to meet you and photograph your special memories of these big milestones in your life.
Newborn photography is so much more than just photos. Newborn photos, when taken professionally, capture the essence of a new baby. Their tiny details, how curly they are, how sweet they sleep, what they might have been like in the womb… Photographing these young babies, often in their first week or ten days of birth, is something truly special to me that I wholeheartedly love and celebrate in my heart.
If you’re reading this and are expecting your own, or someone close to you is, I would LOVE to be considered for your maternity and newborn photography. Bookings can be made as early as your 20th week of pregnancy, as we only make the final date once your baby is born. Making a tentative date beforehand ensures you can have peace of mind that the session is scheduled, you won’t forget or get lost in all that’s happening close to the birth, and you can ensure that I am available for your date. I hope to hear from you soon! :)

Kind regards,

“Sonja’s work is exquisite; she captured such beautiful moments and really listened to make sure she delivers what I wanted. A lot of care goes into each image, I was worried about my newborn’s incredibly flaky skin but Sonja edited it all out beautifully in all our images. I bought 2 of the images on the wooden photo blocks and absolutely love them, I know they will be treasured forever.” – Christina Saul
