Mary | Illawarra Newborn Photography | Nina Photography Studios

Oh My..... Miss Mary was pretty in pink, perfect in purple, whimsical in white.... i think this little doll would make a brown paper bag stunning. Every setup we placed her in, melted us all. Allan is such a lucky man to have 2 beautiful ladies in his life - his queen and princess. We adore this beautiful little family and enjoyed every moment we shared with each other. Welcome earth side Mary and thank you King family. Book your newborn session and connect with us today: hel

The Birth Of Riley | Birth Photography | Nina Photography Studios (Wollongong)

On a Saturday afternoon, I received an exciting call that baby Riley was on his way. I rushed home from weekend sports to drop off the hubby and kids and continued my way the home of Rod and Kayla. I was greeted by the lovely Alyssa from Cherish Birth, an excited yet chilled Rod and a determined mumma, Kayla. Alyssa is an epic local Illawarra Doula, she provided Kayla every ounce of herself and advocated for them. Their home was the first stop on this journey, while Kayla lab

Bodhi | Wollongong Newborn Photography | Nina Photography Studios (Illawarra)

Please join Alan and Carly in welcoming Bodhi into the world. This calm, placid yet equally inquisitive little man, was an absolute dream to photograph. Mum and Dad wanted a very neutral pallet for the session, focusing on Bodhi's features and his cute profile. Let's just say, he doesn't have a bad side. Enjoy some of our favs from his session. #new #babyphotography #baby #illawarranewbornphotography #wollongongnewborn #newborn #mum #dad #bestfamilyphotos #familyphotos #famil

Sofia | Wollongong Newborn Photography | Nina Photography Studios (Illawarra)

Capturing the story of becoming a family is so rewarding. It's such an exciting time for me, waiting to meet couples' new love after photographing their maternity sessions. An equally gratifying part of the process, is capturing the very first family portrait. We concentrate so much on the bubs, that this element is such a joy and privilege in the story of you. Help me welcome to the world the divine Miss Sofia, Mike and Jess' new love. She has the softest skin, rosy little l

Martin Family | Illawarra Family Photography | Nina Photography Studios (Wollongong)

Long walks, Eskimo kisses and yoghurt drops with this awesome family. On a beautiful afternoon, we ventured close to home for some exploring. I was the navigator and needless to say, it was the wrong choice hahaha. But I liked how Danielle and Rhys trusted my poor sense of direction and we continued on the never ending journey- or so it seemed. It was an amazing afternoon spent with the equally amazing Martin clan. Mia's excitement for yoghurt drops was too cute. Her little l

Ari | Illawarra Newborn Photography | Nina Photography Studios (Wollongong)

So I find myself so far behind in my blogging, I have finally managed to set aside some time to put a few up. And what a pleasure it was so go through Ari's Newborn Session again. I had such a hard time going through the session and selecting which images to show you. I hope you love the ones I have selected for you. I LOVE all of them. How handsome is he? I love this job, it is so very rewarding. Every image has captured a single moment in each Newborn's life, a moment

Lowe / Brown Family | Wollongong Family Photography Session | Nina Photography Studios

"Children reinvent your world for you" -Susan Sarandon No family session is like any other. Each are unique and I learn something new each time. There is no plan to follow, when it comes down to it, the kids run the show. Their energy shapes where and how I shoot. This sweet little family met me on the beach's shore, where we explored, giggled and danced the late afternoon away. A certain gregarious little girl gave me a lesson in how NOT to wear a flower crown (hehe) and a q

Ana | Cake Smash Photography | Nina Photography Studios (Wollongong)

A cake smash session is a great way to celebrate your precious cherub turning one, well any age, but turning one is a huge milestone and cause for major celebration. Here are Nina Photography a cake smash session is not just about cake smashing, we have a mini portrait to start, then we cake smash and then we have a mini bath session. Because let's be honest the cake smashing only lasts 15 minutes before bub has eaten enough or the sugar kicks in. Gorgeous girl Ana turned one

We cannot believe that this awesome couple will be in the studio tomorrow with their new love, Liesl. This young, fun loving, full of life and energy couple, took the wind out of me. They love hard and embrace each other with the hope of never letting go. I feel my age show as i write this ......'oh young love'...... wow, what's happened to me, I'm that old person lol.

Rhadan | Wollongong Baby Photography | Nina Photography Studios (Illawarra)

There's no doubt that Amir and Hajar are absolutely smitten with their new addition to the Roudaki family, Master Rhadan. We were so humbled and grateful to have our studio filled with their love, when they came to visit. Master Rhadan was so chilled during his session and enjoyed all of his cute cuddles from dad and mum. He is so blessed to have so much love surrounding him and we were so honoured to meet one pair of his grandparents....which i might add are so absolutely ad

Grace | Wollongong Newborn Photography Session | Nina Photography Studios (Illawarra)

Celebrating your newest member as a family was so sweet. It's such a great way to build each and member up, and remind them that they are all important and special. The Bartlett family introduced me to their newest addition, little Miss Grace and she is just perfect. I loved that everyone had their own moment with her and the chaos was just bliss. This session was full of Troy and Rachel's love and their four beautiful children being 100% themselves and I loved each moment of

"Life is always a rich and steady time when you are waiting for something to happen or to hatch" -E.B. White When you decide to start a family, it can be a momentous time in your life.

Josie | Sitter Session | Illawarra Children's Portraits | Nina Photography Studios (Wollongong)

After the Newborn Phase, the excitement dies out for so many, but this is so far from the truth. These little humans are constantly evolving and coming into their own. It was an absolute delight photographing Miss Josie again, she is such a happy little poppet and you cannot help but to smile along with her. She gave us cheeky smiles, stole everyone's attention and her giggles were just so infectious. We could not believe how much she has changed from her newborn session. Jos

Sofia + Adam | Illawarra Maternity Session | Nina Photography Studios (Wollongong)

Planning a maternity session is kind of like a birth plan, you have a vision for the outcome but there are times that you just need to trust the professionals that you engage. I know nothing about shortening, dilation or how to help you get through a labour. I know lots about good angles, how to make you laugh and how to remind you that your maternity session is not about your undie line, showing your dress and more about that look of adoration form your partner, that kick fr
