Capture the precious moments of your newborn with Natalie Pasco Photography. Specialising in newborn photography in Auckland, our studio offers a warm and comfortable environment for both babies and parents. Book your session today and treasure these memories forever.

A calm, baby‑led session that captures the tiny details and quiet magic of your early days together. I create a peaceful environment where you can simply hold your little one close while I document the love, softness, and emotion that make this time unforgettable.
These sessions are designed to be relaxed and stress‑free, allowing plenty of time for feeding, cuddles, and settling.

Your newborn session includes a warm, comfortable environment, natural wraps and simple props, and a selection of beautifully edited images delivered in an online gallery. I photograph your baby’s tiny details, family connections, and those precious first moments you’ll want to remember forever.

Sessions Held with Care & Calm & Sometimes Chaos (but that's OK)

Newborn Photography FAQ's

​Do you shoot at your home or do you travel to us?

I do both.  I can bring all my lighting and props to your house, or you can come to mine.  The travel fee is usually around $50, depending on your location. 

When should I do the photoshoot?
A newborn session should be photographed within the first two weeks of baby’s life.  Ideally, between days 4 and 8. Babies who are under two weeks sleep soundly, curl easily, and have clear skin. After that two weeks, it can be a much more challenging session, babies start to uncurl, they get ‘baby acne’, and they are not quite as sleepy…We understand some cultures cannot leave the house until a rituals have been done, this is perfectly fine too, to leave your shoot until baby is, say, 3 months old. 

While I snap the photos you will help with the posing and putting on the outfits for your baby. This is to make the most of our time together and also for safety of the baby. 

Advice for your session
Avoid clothing featuring logos or any words, as this may date the photos. 
Bring anything sentimental and I advise you to bring three outfits you would like your baby photographed in.
Please bring a change of clothing for yourself as well as your child, in case of accidents.
Feed your baby two hours prior, then feed again as soon as you arrive.
Keep your baby awake 1-2 hours before the photoshoot.  
​
How many photos do I get?
This question sometimes comes up.  With newborn shoots your number of photos depends on how the baby is.  You can’t force a baby to do something it doesn’t want to do.   There’s no point in overshooting when they don’t want their photo taken.   With all my photoshoots you get all the edited photos.  That means if they are in focus, open eyes, and the baby looks fine, you will get all of these photos.  Your session time starts from when you book me, so try to be on time to maximise your time. On average, a two-hour shoot usually yields about 50 photos.  

Check my editing style before you book me!

My home page and my blog shows my previous work and as you will see my style is quite bold, bright, dramatic for the coloured shoots and then I love black and white, as this is timeless and classic.  

I select from your shoot which photos will look best in which style.  That is why you hire me, for my creative, artistic eye.  

You can see the poses that I do in newborn shoots from previous work. What you see on Pinterest may be an $800 shoot for your baby and you want it for $300? It won’t happen.  This is why people pay $800.  The process involved and the extra editing it requires. I’m not a fan of the ‘froggy’ pose as it doesn’t look natural to me. Plus, so many people are doing it.  It isn’t unique.  I’d rather capture how people are throughout our time together. 

You will help me arrange the baby and put the outfits on the baby. This way it maximises our time photographing and also is for your baby's safety.  

A non-refundable deposit is required at the time of booking.

If you have additional children or parents/grandparents this will be additional time and cost.

Newborns change so quickly — book your session today to secure a spot around your due date.
