Central Hawke's Bay Newborn Session at the Villa Studio | Baby Tate

What a beautiful way to spend a morning — meeting baby Tate in the Villa Studio for a newborn and family lifestyle session.

I first met this gorgeous family a few months ago for their maternity session, so getting to welcome their tiny new addition into the studio felt extra special.

A busy farming family, they popped into the studio between farm jobs for a couple of hours to slow down and simply enjoy their baby.

At just 22 days old — a little over three weeks — Tate was all sleepy stretches, soft newborn wrinkles and those tiny details that change so quickly.

There’s something so lovely about photographing families at this stage. No rush, no agenda — just a little time carved out to soak up their newborn before life speeds back up again.


Making Time for a Newborn Session

A newborn lifestyle session in the Villa Studio gives you a couple of relaxed hours to slow down, hold your baby and enjoy this stage exactly as it is.

For families who have also had a maternity session with me, there’s something really special about photographing both sides of that chapter — from the bump to those first few weeks with your baby.


Planning a Newborn or Family Photoshoot in Hawke's Bay?

I photograph relaxed newborn and family lifestyle sessions in my Central Hawke’s Bay Villa Studio, with plenty of time for feeding, cuddles and simply being together. If you’re expecting a new baby and would like to document this stage, you’re always welcome to get in touch.
