SMASH CAKE + NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY MELBOURNE
Cherishing Every Breath, Blink, Smile and Baby Curl – Melbourne’s Newborn and Baby Stories
ENSURE YOUR BABY'S SAFETY WITH A TRUSTED, EXPERIENCED NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER
Why Experience and Safety Matter?
Newborn photography is an unregulated industry, meaning there are no mandatory certifications or qualifications required to call oneself a "Newborn Photographer." This unsettling reality can leave expecting parents vulnerable, as anyone can pick up a camera and market themselves without any formal training.
Many parents assume that professional photographers have the necessary credentials, but this is not always the case. Unfortunately, untrained photographers may unknowingly jeopardise your baby’s safety through improper posing or positioning, which can obstruct breathing or lead to injury.
In contrast to regulated fields like medicine, where organisations ensure practitioners are certified, the absence of such oversight in photography places the onus on parents to vet their photographers carefully.
Don’t compromise your baby’s safety for the sake of beautiful photos or lower costs. Ensure that the photographer you choose has extensive experience and specialised training in safely posing newborns.

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.
