Capture your baby’s picture-perfect beginnings with the best newborn photographers in Adelaide

  • Quality of photos - I prefer photographers with a distinct style. They should also be creative and be able to follow clients’ ideas.
  • Experience with newborns - The photographer should have experience in safely directing newborns for photography sessions.
  • Fairness of pricing - Their fees should be adjusted based on the length of the photography session and the complexity of the concept of the photoshoot.
  • Accessibility - I assessed their available appointment slots and how easy it is to visit their studio.

Photos make for timeless treasures, and it’s a perfect way to capture your newborn’s essence in their precious, gentle days. 

While my daughter is a bit more grown up now, it always brightens my day to revisit her baby photos. She used to be so chubby and sleepy! Those images take me back to those tender moments that seemed to pass by in the blink of an eye.

If you’re in Adelaide and looking for a talented newborn photographer, you’re in luck. Here are some of the best ones in town specializing in capturing the enchanting beauty of your young’uns.

Adelaide Newborn Photography captures the innocence of babies with a gentle and elegant style, making them my top choice. Their use of soft lighting and simple poses gave us amazing results that highlighted my baby’s natural features. 

The studio is led by Lisa, whose work has been awarded by FindAPhotographer and the Academy of Newborn Photography multiple times. She has been working for a decade and is trained especially to handle newborns.

One of their standout services is the “newborn lifestyle” session, where the newborn poses with the family in various settings like the bedroom or living room. The resulting shots are dynamic, thanks to Lisa’s simple yet effective direction.

In addition, her photography session package has good inclusions, including a linen photo folder, matte-printed photos, and props.

That said, her appointment slots are limited. They may also take a few days to respond to their website contact form.

Pros

  • Gentle and elegant photography style
  • Well-experienced photographer
  • Package has many inclusions
  • Recommendable “newborn lifestyle” photo session 

Cons

  • Limited appointment slots
  • Takes a couple of days to respond to contact form

They provide many options for printed shots, including traditional albums, folio, wall art, acrylic blocks, collage frames, and more.

In terms of downsides, however, their services are pricey. Also, her appointment slots are limited.

  • Minimalist shots with earthy tones
  • Many options for printed shots
  • Warm and friendly team

Jennifer White Photography is an excellent choice if comfort and safety are your priorities. Their studio was designed for maximum family convenience, featuring kitchen facilities, coffee machines, a lounge, and more.

With over 10 years of photography experience, Jennifer is trained to handle newborns and ensure they remain at ease throughout the session. Her dedicated assistant helps keep the session moving quickly.

Her photography style is colorful and employs lots of props, making for creative shots.

It’s easy to choose among their pricing packages (Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Diamond), as each has clearly listed inclusions and reasonable rates.

However, those living in the CBD might find the location a bit far, as it’s 30 minutes away in Happy Valley. Additionally, their print processing is sometimes delayed for a couple of days.

Pros

  • Comfortable studio
  • Over 10 years of experience
  • Colorful photography style
  • Reasonable rates

Cons

  • Studio is 30 minutes away from CBD
  • Print processing can be delayed by a couple of days 

 All I can say is that we had a great time having our photos taken by her, she is very professional and friendly.

“I had my maternity shoot and a newborn session of my baby boy with Jennifer White Photography. All I can say is that we had a great time having our photos taken by her, she is very professional and friendly. Jennifer and her assistant Kirsten are very accommodating and welcoming. You will not feel embarrassed posing in front of the camera as Jennifer and her assistant Kirsten made the whole session so relaxed, and that made our photos turn out so amazing. The whole experience is indeed amazing. I highly recommend Jennifer for all your photography needs. I can’t thank both of them enough for such an amazing job in capturing the most beautiful and memorable photos of myself, my family, and most especially our new addition to the family, our precious little boy. We will surely treasure it forever.”

The Little Oak Studio has a minimalist and simple photo style that mostly uses muted, earthy tones.

The studio is led by Rachel, whose dedication to maximum communication and collaboration with clients is commendable. She takes her time to conduct pre-photography sessions with clients so their expectations are met.

She has great photo display options, including polaroids kept in a keepsake box, framed prints, ice mounts, wooden prints, and wooden block stands.

Many have also praised the studio for being accommodating of last-minute requests and appointments.

In terms of downsides, the drive to their studio from the CBD can take 40 minutes. Also, some may find her photos a bit too simplistic.

Pros

  • Minimalist and elegant photos
  • Good customer communication
  • Has many photo display options (such as polaroids, ice mounts, and wooden blocks)
  • Accommodating of last-minute requests

Cons

  • Located 40 minutes from CBD
  • Some may find photos to be too simplistic

So lovely and we felt very welcomed that we will definitely be coming back for more sessions!

“My dog Artie is part of the 50 shades of Golden campaign and Rachel did such an incredible job in photographing him. She was understating that he was a little bit anxious but still took some incredible photos of him, myself and my dad. So lovely and we felt very welcomed that we will definitely be coming back for more sessions! 😍”

Rachel has a great way of firstly making everyone feel relaxed, then she works her magic and captures the moments perfectly with her amazing photography skills.

“Rachel has a great way of firstly making everyone feel relaxed, then she works her magic and captures the moments perfectly with her amazing photography skills. We used Rachel for our newborn photos in 2020 and I’ve recently used Rachel for work photos and now for some outdoor family photos with our almost 4 year old and I have not been disappointed with any! Normally I can be quite self-critical of my appearance in photos, but she is very skilled at getting the perfect angles, lighting and smiles. They all look natural, happy and simply beautiful! Memories to treasure forever.”

Melissa Alagich Photography is a great option if you want both maternity and newborn photography, as their prices are reasonable, and it’s easy to schedule both.

The studio was started in 2009. Their lead photographer, Melissa, has a distinct style of using golden hues, with an emphasis on soft textures.

They excel at producing both digital and physical copies of photos. Their editing style is gentle and natural-looking, and their physical prints are durable and vibrant.

It’s a little hard, however, to catch an appointment on short notice, as their appointment slots are limited. They may also take a couple of days to respond to their website’s contact form.

Pros

  • Reasonable fees
  • Good for availing both maternity and newborn photography 
  • Over 10 years of experience
  • Photos with golden hues and soft textures

Cons

  • Limited appointment slots
  • Takes a couple of days to respond to contact form

We would highly recommend Melissa Alagich Photography to anyone wanting to get some treasured family photos.

“We met Melissa at the baby expo and instantly she made us feel comfortable and confident in taking our newborn photos. After little Mason was born we contacted her and managed to book in when he was 2 weeks old. Her studio was warm and well equipped for the session. She was able to calm Mason and get him ready for the shoot. The pictures came out amazing and we were both happy with the results. We would highly recommend Melissa Alagich Photography to anyone wanting to get some treasured family photos.”
