Posies of sweetness | Illawarra Newborn & Baby Photographer | Nina Photography (Wollongong)

I was honoured to have Miss Olivia, mum and dad in the studio recently. Gaia and Oscar shared their precious daughter with me for the day. Our new nest prop just popped with the delicately arranged posies. It was a dusty pink paradise for Miss Olivia. Welcome Olivia, your little feet have made the biggest imprints in mum and dad's hearts. #mother #mum #woodenbed #nest #babyphotography #familyphotos #ninaphotography #father #dad #illawarraphotography #illawarranewbornphotograp

It's hard work being a little brother | Illawarra Newborn & Baby Photographer | Nina Photogr

Taj and his family came along to play in our studio, not once but twice, a few weeks back. We were lucky enough to encounter him and his beautiful family on two separate sessions as Mr Taj's belly just wasn't very happy the first time. Our first session wasn't completely wasted, we got to spend some time with his big brother, have a little play and really bond with his amazing parents. But the second time round, Taj came to play he was happy and comfortable. The first session

Master Tahj | Illawarra Newborn & Baby Photographer | Nina Photography (Wollongong)

We were delighted to have Master Tahj recently visit our studio and we couldn't resist sharing some of his session with you all. This cherub is so loved by mum, dad and big brother and we cannot wait to see the amazing feits he will definitely achieve with his loving family by his side. Welcome earthside Tahj. #brother #mother #mum #babyphotography #familyphotos #ninaphotography #father #dad #illawarranewbornphotography #illawarraphotography #family #wollongongnewborn #photog

Stretch It Out | Illawarra Newborn & Baby Photographer | Nina Photography (Wollongong)

As a newborn photographer, the process is so rewarding and all togs have their favourite pose, feature to capture or cherished moment in the session. It's no secret that my most adored and fullfilling moment is that last stretch bub takes as being unwrapped at the end of the session. I love capturing the full freedom stretch, content gestures and those cute squished up noses, it so gratifying and captivating. Let's all have a stretch with Evan. 3...2...1...ahhhhh! #babyphoto

It's just bunny play | Illawarra Newborn & Baby Photographer | Nina Photography (Wollongong)

Swinging into mid week is beautiful Sophie. Her giggles, "SoccerMan" smile and dancing toes swung into our hearts and brightened up the studio. We had beautiful blooms from an event the previous day, so we played around with them. Our simple timber rope swing was the perfect playground for our giggling model. Sophie adorned a gorgeous handmade flower crown and was so excited when we said she could keep it. Dressed in our beautiful vintage night gown we tried to get bunny to s

A pineapple a day keeps the worries away | Illawarra Newborn & Baby Photographer | Nina Photogra

This pineapple diva, Lani, was a cute addition to the studio. With her wild child spirit and whispy hair, she stole the lens and worked her "yes, im here!" look. The thrill is to keep envisioning what can be and we wanted to be chasing bubbles. Lani, if you were a fruit, you'd be a FINE-APPLE. #babyphotography #milkbathsession #ninaphotography #illawarraphotography #bath #illawarranewbornphotography #wollongongnewborn #vintagetub #photography #photographer #illawarra #bubbleb

Smiles Galore | Illawarra Newborn & Baby Photographer | Nina Photography (Wollongong)

Cheeky Miss Ada joined us in the studio for some flowery fun, heart warming smiles and belly jiggling giggles. She played around on our vintage bed and had some tickling moments on our latte flokati, ate a delicious giant cupcake and soaked the day away in a floral milk bath wonderland. I think Cake Smash / Milk Baths are becoming one of our favourite sessions and the entertainment we get, going over the galleries, always creates a hysterical hyena laughing frenzy in the stud

Feeling blue | Illawarra Newborn & Baby Photographer | Nina Photography (Wollongong)

I was so excited and honoured to be creating my first boy milk bath session alongside a cake smash and what a spunky little man Rocco is. He joined me in the studio to celebrate his first birthday. Blue, blue, blue was the colour of choice, but don't feel BLUE, there's so many wonderful things that come in blue; Blueberries, the best flavour Zooper Dooper, the ocean sparkling on a hot day, the Cookie Monster, Dory, Jeans, countless songs and of course ROCCO; he made it spect

Petals and Pops: Audrey celebrates one in style | Illawarra Newborn & Baby Photographer | Nina P

Cake, sprinkles, lolly pops and flower filled baths; what more could a girl ask for? ... a flower crown ... DONE! I had the privilege of photographing this doll for her first birthday. Audrey joined me in the studio for some sugary fun celebrating her one year milestone. We ate cake, she pampered herself with delicious frosting body cream, and washed it all away in a milk bath. Oh what fun being one is! #flowers #flowercrown #milkbathsession #milkbath #milkbathphotography #o

Friends through the lens

I wanted to share just a few of my favourite images of newborn Finnian that were taken in my studio. He was so easy to work with and didn’t make a peep his entire session. Mum and Dad are so in love, and so is Finnian's awesome big brother Spencer and sister Ellena, and it shows through the lens. As always, I’m so grateful for the opportunity. #mother #mum #babyphotography #familyphotos #ninaphotography #father #dad #illawarraphotography #illawarranewbornphotography #famil

Cuddles and kisses are all that he wishes

When I met Carlene and Jase, they were absolutely glowing. What once was the journey of two became the adventure of three. Parenthood is a magical experience, especially when it's shared with your best friend. Being a newborn photographer, you are always drawn to the baby because we get the cuddles. In this wonderful session I was lucky enough to find a special connection with Jase and Carlene. Watching them through the lens, I was lucky enough to see the little smiles they

Tree Trunks & Baby Bumps | Illawarra Maternity Photographer

I recently had the honour of photographing Debbie, a glowing mum to be. Penrose State Forest was the perfect backdrop for her story of life and blooming families. She trusted my intrigue of incorporating coloured smoke into her session, which added a soft whimsical touch. Confident yet humble with a radiant glow glistening in the moody afternoon light. #ninaphotography #illawarraphotography #family #photographer #photography #illawarra #baby #wollongong #illawarraphotographer

Ciao Bello Mateo | Illawarra Baby Photographer

From Trieste Italy to Wollongong Australia, thousands of miles between but yet the world became a little more intimate today. Both mine and Mateo's family were stunned to realised that our Nonna's both came from the same small town in Italy and have been friends for years. Wow! What a small world. Ciao Mateo, Benvenuto al mondo! #babyphotography #familyphotos #ninaphotography #illawarraphotography #illawarranewbornphotography #family #wollongongnewborn #photographer #photogra

embrace the chaos [wollongong family photography]

Between bad haircuts, school, shift work and kiddies getting sick, it has taken me more than one year to get my sister and her gorgeous family in front of the camera all at once. I have images galore of them separately, but not all at once. One of my goals is to embrace the chaos and capture those in-between moments of madness. Enjoy the images and have a good laugh. #illawarraphotographer #wollongongphotographer #familyphotos #illawarra #wollongong #photographer #Fun #famil
