CAPTURING THE PEOPLE YOU Love

SYDNEY NEWBORN, MATERNITY
& FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

Welcome, I'm Marie!

I’m so glad you’re here! Capturing pieces of your world is always an honour for me. Maybe you’re waiting for a little one to arrive, or maybe your hands (and heart) are already full. Either way, you’re in a season that’s worth remembering.

These days deserve to be remembered not just for how they looked, but for how they felt.

With over 15 years experience in photography, I’m here to help you hold onto them, with photos that feel natural, honest, heartfelt moments and captured with the people you LOVE!

NEWBORN - Jessica L

We have been so fortunate to have Marie capture precious newborn photos for our children. Marie is a skilled and talented photographer and her patience and attention to detail resulted in beautiful family photos we will cherish forever. Marie has a friendly and calm nature that put our 3 young children and newborn at ease.

She had all the strategies to settle our baby making the whole process enjoyable and stress free. She even managed to get a beautiful shot of all 4 children looking and smiling at the camera.Marie was prompt in her communication and we received our images so quickly. The prints are exceptional quality too.I highly recommend Marie!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY! 💙To all dad’s, grandfathers and father figures - thank you for all you do for your families! Thank you for your strength, support, guidance and love. We love you xx

This verse spoke to me, reminding me of the quiet strength and grace, that mothers carry every day. A heart full of love. ❤️

Proverbs 31:25–26
She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.

A special HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY to this handsome fella! I loved photographing Noah as a newborn, and now for his first birthday milestone. What a beautiful journey to witness!
#happybirthday #newborntoone #milestone #cakesmash #newbornphotography

I had the most gorgeous session today photographing these sweet puppies 🐶✨ Such a fun shoot (definitely a little more wiggly than newborns!). They were all so beautiful and well-behaved, and two of them are still looking for their forever homes 🏡💕 If you’re thinking about adding a furry friend to your family, reach out to @oodlenation_harbourvalley

Welcomed back Gorgeous little Noah this morning..Nothing sweeter than a Cake Smash celebrating ONE (very soon). I don’t think he has ever had so much buttercream but he sure LOVED it! 😍 It was such a fun sensory experience, finished with a splashy milk bath. By the end he was happy, exhausted and lots of treasure memories captured! ✨✨#cakesmash #lugarno #turningone #mortdalemummas

Those first days with your newborn are a whirlwind of new routines, sleepless nights, and getting to know this tiny little person who’s just joined your world. In the midst of it all, it’s easy to forget how fleeting these moments are.

Newborn photography captures more than just tiny fingers, toes, and yawns—it captures the love, the connection, and the tenderness of these early days. Years from now, these photos become treasured memories, allowing you to look back and remember just how small they were, how deeply they were loved, and how those early days shaped the start of your journey together.

When children grow, they love seeing themselves as babies, and parents can relive the those special first moments. If you’re undecided about newborn photography, consider this a gentle reminder: these moments are fleeting, and capturing them is truly worth your time. These photos will be cherished forever. ✨✨✨

Carrying your baby is such a sacred season, full of anticipation, love, and transformation. ❤️Maternity sessions are more than just photos; they’re a way to hold onto this beautiful chapter before it changes forever. I didn’t get professional photos when I was pregnant and it’s one of my biggest regrets ever!! 😭 But every mum I’ve photographed has said the same thing: “I’m so glad I did this.” You’ll never regret preserving this moment, only not doing it.

Those first days with your newborn are quiet, tender, and pass so quickly.

Capturing them is a beautiful way to remember just how small and peaceful they once were.

In my studio, I use both natural and studio lighting, and focus on gentle, baby-led posing, nothing forced, just your little one as they are.

Newborn sessions are best done within the first two weeks, when babies are sleepier and easier to settle. Sometimes all it takes is a cuddle, a feed, a dummy, and a little patience, to capture their essence…its all part of the art of newborn photography 💛

Just six weeks old, already sharing the biggest smiles. Looking up at his mummy and daddy like he’s known them forever…because in his little heart, he has. ❤️ Master J - it was a pleasure 😘

I’ve been lucky enough to photograph this beautiful family from the time their youngest two were newborns, through Christmas portraits each year, and now during this playful winter session by the water! Watching their children grow, and being trusted to capture each new season of their life, is something I never take for granted. Despite the chill in the air, they ran barefoot in the sand, cuddled close, and soaked in (quite literally 😅) every moment together, because love like this doesn’t wait for perfect weather. If you’ve been thinking about booking your own winter session, don’t let the cold hold you back. These are the moments that will mean the most. ❤️❤️

Im running a special Winter mini session promotion at the moment: 25 minutes outdoor session, 10 edited images, private gallery. All just $300!

Please connect WINTER for a link to book your session! ❄️❄️❄️

There’s a moment when everything shifts..
when time slows, the world fades, and all that matters is the weight of this new little soul in your arms.

It’s raw, it’s overwhelming, and it’s love in its purest form.

No one can prepare you for the way your heart changes..but somehow, in that stillness, you just know, this is everything…

Some babies have serious FOMO and just won’t sleep, and honestly, that’s totally ok.
There’s a lot going on! It’s a new environment and sometimes it’s their “first outing” ( how special!). But those wide-eyed stares are adorable, and when they finally do sleep (usually do) we sneak in the sleepy shots too. Either way, it’s all gold and beautiful 🤩

Slowing things down, soaking it all in.

Who says family photos are just for little kids?
Teenagers roll their eyes… and then secretly love the photos. 😉
It’s never too late to freeze this moment in time—because before you know it, they’re taller than you (or already are!), asking for the car keys, and off chasing their dreams…
Let’s capture the chaos, the laughs, and all the love—just as you are, right now. ❤️
Love capturing these moments for this beautiful family- only one Queen here hehe! 😍

A beautiful family session filled with golden light, big smiles, and so much love. I absolutely adore how Mum’s bold red outfit brings such a stunning pop of colour—it works perfectly and she ain’t afraid to use it! 😅😍 ##

One year ago, I had the joy of photographing this little guy as a newborn, and now here we are - celebrating his first birthday with the craziest cake smash and a very splashy milk bath finale! He loved it ! (Especially the balloons and the bath! ) Documenting these chapters for this family is truly the greatest honor. Happy 1st birthday beautiful boy! 💙✨ #MilestoneSession #Cakesmash #FirstBirthday #happybirthday

Last year, my husband and I explored the beauty and history of Turkey, and one of the most unforgettable stops was Gallipoli. Standing on those cliffs and beaches at Anzac Cove, where so much courage and sacrifice took place, was incredibly moving. The landscape was stunning, but it was the deep sense of history that really stayed with us. A powerful, emotional experience that we’ll never forget. LEST WE FORGET ❤️ #anzacday #fallenheroes #turkey #gallipoli
