Newborn Sessions are typically booked from 10-16 weeks and are held between 4-16 days of arriving earthside. We book several months in advance, so please book early to secure your place in our schedule. 

Our professional studio offers a beautiful internationally sourced prop collection and two comfortable seating spaces where you are close enough to watch as we gently pose and photograph your new addition. Your session is designed to be a relaxed experience and you will likely be in the studio for between 1-3 hours. 

Newborn Safety is our priority - Your newborn is precious and we love to treat them as such, they will be posed comfortably, soothed, fed and warm throughout their session.

We love that our cherished client families return to Laara Dean Photography each year to update their family portraits. We love being with you as your children grow. Being your photographer over the years is an honour and we absolutely love it!

Photographs play such an important role in our lives as parents and our children's lives. My children love seeing their cherished little faces on our walls - they feel connected to their past and how much they have grown, along with our endless love for them.

We encourage children to play and interact, our sessions are designed to capture the love you have for one another.

Hi there! My name is Laara, Over the past 6+ years, I have been so blessed to photograph some of the most precious moments for over a thousand families, children, weddings, pregnancies and newborns. I am so lucky to do what I love each and every day! I believe in timeless elegant photographs that tell your story beautifully, in ways that you will treasure. 

Being completely drawn to the art of Maternity and Newborn Photography from a young age meant that when my wedding clients were asking me to photograph their next chapter I was eager to embrace it with them. I am in awe of our bodies, how they can create and nurture life, and how our hearts are capable of love we cannot conceive before we meet our babies.

I cherish the honour of capturing your journey... your engagement, your wedding, your baby bump and your brand new family members. I love my clients, we feel like old friends each time we catch up for an updated family session or a new addition to the growing family.  

It is because of my incredible clients that I continue to do what I love, create beautiful photographs for your family. Our business is built on referrals, my grandfather told me that this is the mark of a great business and in turn a great photographer. I cherish the photographs of him more than any possession.

When I am not behind the lens or processing your photographs, I am with my beautiful family or fabulous friends - Oh and coffee is life! haha

Such an amazing photographer!! Laara is so warm and caring, she is able to capture the most incredible pictures.

I have had the pleasure of doing both my maternity shoot and newborn photos with her - the images are just perfect and will be treasured for generations. We were so happy with the variety of pictures and poses, she truly is a baby whisperer! So patient when our little miss decided not to sleep.

I will definitely be booking in for more photos in the future and have recommended her to not only my friends and family but also my 3DBUBS Clients. I love seeing the photographs that she creates for them, I know they are in great hands with Laara. Thank-you so much!!
