BABIES

We can’t wait to celebrate your newest addition!
From the moment you find out you’re pregnant, to holding your pregnant belly then your sweet little baby in your arms, the time goes by so fast. It’s important to capture these fleeting moments so you can remember them fondly forever.
As your child grows, they’ll have their precious baby photos to look back on. As parents, you can reminisce about those early days - moments of sleep deprivation, feeling like ‘what are we doing?’ and the most unconditional, incredible love for this little person. It’s such a joy to be able to create lifelong memories for other lovers of moments.
Families come in all shapes, sizes and situations - all are welcome and celebrated.
We’re all for capturing your family's love, exactly as it is, in its truest, most genuine form. Our baby sessions are baby-led and aren’t about being ‘perfect’. Instead they’re super relaxed and laid-back, focused on creating natural loving memories together. We love highlighting your connection as a family. All sessions are done completely unobtrusively and are about making you feel most comfortable.
The days are long but the years are short. Book your baby shoot today
Sessions we offer for you + your baby!

Maternity
Dana here! I’d be thrilled to look after you and make you feel gorgeous in front of the lens in all your pregnancy glory (even if some days it doesn't feel that way!). During our shoot, I encourage you to be yourself, gently guiding you, pulling out natural joy and emotion - nothing staged - so you'll be comfortable and enjoy the experience. It's all about capturing the connection between you and your bump before you meet Earth-side.
If you have any family that you would like to include in your session, this is encouraged and there is always room for both family photos and just you + your bump! These are booked in for roughly when you are 7-8 months pregnant, it’s best to book in up to 4 months in advance.

Birth
The experience of birth photography is like no other. I offer very limited birth photography sessions, 3-5 per year, in hospital or for home birth. As these require being on-call, birth sessions are only available during the cooler months (or January depending on wedding bookings). Before your due date, I’ll meet with you multiple times to chat about your concerns and what’s important to you. We can go over your birth plan together and I can also meet your doctor or midwife beforehand. Please get in touch if and we can explore what’s possible with current COVID-19 restrictions.
Birth photography starts from $3300 and includes 100 printed, time stamped images in a glass box, you’ll also get an online gallery with the very best digital images from your birth.
To book in your birth experience, get in contact at least 6 months in advance and we can see what availability we have for that time. Your due date is booked in, but 4 weeks before or 2 weeks after is normally put aside to take on your session.

The first 48 hours
(in-hospital session)
You may not want your birth photographed (it’s not for everyone!) If you’d love a first cuddle session captured once your baby is born, I can visit you in hospital to take some incredible images of you as a new family of 3! Or if you already have other little ones, capturing that ‘first meeting’ is ever so sweet and I would encourage you to wait until I’m there to have them meet.
All First 48 hour in-hospital sessions take place in the hospital room, and may be covid-restricted.
Your due date is booked in for this session and then I wait to hear from you or your partner/loved one about coming into the hospital to do your session.
Find out more information from your elected hospital before booking in/or we can keep the conversation open about this as we go.

At-home newborn sessions
Almost every parent I speak to reflects on how much their baby changes in the weeks after our newborn session. They’re only this small - once! So please don’t miss the opportunity to capture this time and the new baby bubble with beautiful images that bring back all the feels (and so many tears of joy).
Newborn sessions are booked for your due date. Once you have your baby, you can wait until you’re at home settled to get in touch or email me from your hospital bed to book a weekday session within 7-14 days from your baby's birth.
- All sessions begin at 9:30am and are in your home.
- The sessions go between 1-2 hours depending on how settled your baby is.
- We provide a session guide, including what to wear and all prep for the session to run smoothly.

Your birth in print $330
You may have wanted a birth photographer, but for some reason it didn’t pan out. You may not have booked in time, restrictions imposed extra limitations on your team, or your birthing plan flew out the window - whatever the case, all is not lost. No matter when a birth took place, if you have iPhone or DSLR photos, you can still book our printed birth package to bring your images to life.
Or you may not want a photographer at your birth, maybe you feel a bit unsure about if it’s right for you, but you still would like some images. You may prefer to entrust your loved one with capturing the experience. We want to make sure the images see the light of day - for you to enjoy for years to come.

Reviews

Dana & Doug were such beautiful people to work with. Both are such kind and caring souls.
They went above and beyond when my partner wanted to secretly propose during our maternity shoot. They captured our baby bump, proposal, and newborn so perfectly and we absolutely love our images. My most valuable possessions are my prints that capture those moments in life that go by too fast.

Will & Co images are always effortless and timeless, I cannot recommend this duo enough and wouldn’t have anyone else to capture our wedding day.
Do yourself a favour and book with Dana & Doug, they are a ray of sunshine and will create magic for you.
Beth & Jon

We were blown away by our wedding photos! Dana and Doug captured our special day so perfectly. They’re fun, relatable and make everyone feel completely comfortable in front of the camera - not to mention, they’re incredibly talented. Their laidback vibe meant they slotted into our big day seamlessly.
