Black and white photograph of a yawning newborn beside an older sibling

Newborn & Motherhood Photography · Melbourne

The first days,
before they become memory.

Quiet, natural photographs of newborns, mothers and families — made slowly, honestly, and with feeling.

A gentle approach

No posing for perfection.
Just the beauty of being there.

I photograph the small things you may not realise you will miss: the way your baby fits against your chest, tiny fingers holding yours, morning light across the room, the beautiful tiredness of new parenthood.

Sessions take place in your home, where everything already belongs to your story. I work with natural light and a calm, documentary approach so the photographs feel intimate, cinematic and completely your own.

What to expect

Simple. Calm. Unrushed.

Enquire

Tell me a little about your family, your due date or your baby's age, and what you would love to remember.

We plan gently

I help with timing, light, simple clothing guidance and anything you need so the session feels easy.

Your session

There is no need for your baby to “perform”. We pause for feeding, settling and whatever the day asks for.

Your photographs

You receive a carefully edited private gallery of images that feel like your family, not a template.

Behind the camera

I’m Jasna.

I’m a Melbourne-based photographer drawn to stillness, natural light, memory and the quiet emotional spaces between people.

My background in portrait, editorial and cinematic photography shapes the way I photograph newborns: less as a styled session, more as a small film made from real life.

The result is soft but not overly sweet, intimate without being staged, and timeless enough to live beyond a trend.
