Session and Booking Information
📅 Book Early to Secure Your Spot
At Alana Taylor Photography, we strongly recommend booking your session well in advance. Our schedule fills quickly, often one to two months ahead, and early bookings ensure you won’t miss out on your preferred date.
👶 Newborn Photography Sessions
To guarantee availability, it’s best to book your newborn session during pregnancy.
Newborns are ideally photographed within the first three weeks after birth — when they’re sleepier, curlier, and easier to pose.
Capturing them during this window allows us to create those beautiful, timeless images you’ll treasure forever.
🤰 Maternity Sessions
Maternity sessions are best scheduled between 28–34 weeks of pregnancy — when your belly is beautifully round, but you’re still feeling comfortable and radiant.
Booking early not only secures your ideal date but also gives us time to plan any special looks, themes, or studio setups you have in mind.
🎈 Baby Sessions
Our Baby Sessions are perfect for celebrating milestones like tummy time, sitting unassisted, and those first big smiles.
Because these moments pass quickly, we recommend booking 1–2 months in advance to ensure you capture them at just the right stage.
🎂 Cake Smash Sessions
Celebrate your baby’s first birthday (or even beyond!) with a fun and memorable Cake Smash Session.
We suggest booking at least 6–8 weeks in advance to allow plenty of time for planning your chosen theme, props, and custom cake design.

Baby Milestone Photography Melbourne
Hey there, I’m Alana – Baby Whisperer, Cake-Smash Wrangler, and Your Go-To Photographer for All Things Tiny, Squishy, and Occasionally Covered in Frosting or Baby Poop!
With over 15 years of experience (and a background in nannying and child education across Australia and the UK), I’ve built a career around capturing the chaos, cuddles and cheeky grins that make childhood magical.
Based in Clyde, Melbourne, my purpose-built home studio is a warm, welcoming space where your little one can feel completely at ease — whether they’re snoozing, smirking, or smearing cake everywhere. I’m professionally trained in newborn safety and posing, fully registered, vaccinated, and possibly fuelled by coffee and baby giggles.
When you book a session with Alana Taylor Photography, you’re not just getting beautiful photos — you’re getting a relaxed, caring experience with someone who truly gets kids (and has probably caught every kind of bodily fluid on camera).
Let’s create the kind of memories that make you smile long after the crumbs are gone.

Booking: What to Expect & How It Works?🍼 3 SIMPLE STEPS 1️⃣ 2️⃣ 3️⃣ Book Your Newborn Session Today Newborn sessions are best captured between 5 and 21 days after birth, when babies are naturally sleepier, curlier, and easier to pose. To secure your session during this ideal window, it’s highly recommended to book while you’re still pregnant. 👉 Please Note: If you wait until after baby is born to book, I can’t guarantee availability. 🍼 STEP 1: BOOK YOUR NEWBORN SESSION BEFORE BABY ARRIVES 📝 Ready To Book? Here’s What I Need: • Your Estimated Due Date (or Scheduled C-section Date)• • The Package you’d like to Book 💡 You’re not locked in — you can always change your package or upgrade later after viewing your proofing gallery! 🔐 STEP 2: LOCKING IN YOUR NEWBORN SESSION Once I receive your details, I’ll confirm your booking and pencil in your Estimated Due Date and/or Session Time into my calendar. Next, Two Emails Will Be Sent: 📩 Details to Pay Your $50 Booking Fee 📩 Your Session Agreement to Review and Sign Your Booking is Officially Secure Once: ✅ Your $50 Booking Fee has been Received ✅ Your Session Agreement has been Signed You’ll receive a confirmation email once everything has been received, including what to expect and what I’ll need from you in the lead-up to your Baby’s Arrival and/or your Session Day. ⏰ STEP 3: BEFORE BABY ARRIVES… AND AFTER THEY'RE HERE 📅 Have a Scheduled C-Section or Induction?

I’ll adjust your session date based on baby’s arrival. 🍼 Once Baby is Born: Please email me within 48 hours of birth so we can confirm your session date within that sweet 5–21 day window.

Booking: Is it possible to Book a Newborn Session if my baby has already been born?Absolutely! If your baby has already arrived — don’t stress. I can still book you in for a newborn session. The ideal window is within the first three weeks of life to capture those sweet, sleepy poses, so I recommend reaching out as soon as possible. If your baby is over three weeks old, please get in touch right away so I can check my availability. I work with older newborns regularly, and while poses may vary slightly, many of the beautiful newborn-style images are still achievable up to six weeks of age. Every stage brings its own magic, and I’ll work closely with you and your baby to create stunning images you'll treasure forever.
-
Booking: What if my baby arrives early or late?No need to stress — babies have a habit of arriving on their own schedule! The best time to book your newborn session is while you’re still pregnant. I only take on a limited number of due date bookings each month to allow flexibility for early or late arrivals. This ensures I can fit you in once your baby makes their grand entrance. Once you’re booked in, all you need to do is contact me within 48 hours of birth, and we’ll lock in your session within the ideal first three weeks of life — when your little one is still sleepy, squishy, and perfectly poseable.
