I loved the experience from the beginning to the end. It was super important for me that he wanted to know our story, what was so special about us and our relation with Hugo and our connection. Because in the end that's what we wanted to capture. With so many photographers and everything we chose Valent because we felt he could capture that special relationship with our family and baby. The Design Consultation was the most enjoyable part of the process. We ended with with many amazing artworks for our walls and then you know it's really worth it.

I attended Valent Lau Photography for both maternity and newborn shoots.
The environment was relaxed, I had a lot of input into the type of photos I wanted and I received beautiful well edited images with a quick turnaround. The images are high quality and are a great reminder of these special times in our lives. Very happy!

We did a post covid lockdown newborn photoshoot with Valent at his studio. He was very professional, engaging and thorough throughout the entire process. I’ll echo what other clients have said in that he puts in the time and effort to get to know his subjects and puts everyone ease to capture their personality in the photos. We’re incredibly pleased with the results. Highly recommended.

Would highly recommend Valent Lau Photography.
Valent takes a great deal of time to really get to know his clients and what you are hoping to capture in your photos. The session was fun and relaxing and we had plenty of time to capture what was needed.
The end product is what really stands out with this photographer. There is such attention to detail in the editing and printing of every photo.
Our photos look stunning and came in a beautiful box. A definite family heirloom that can be passed down the generations.

We were looking for a simple but personalised photography session to capture some memories of my pregnancy and our newborn baby girl later in the year and are happy that we found Valent Lau Photography.
Valent has the patience of a saint and his calm and relaxed demeanour allows for a peaceful and pleasant shoot. We're very happy with the outcome of the photos. The maternity shoot featured us as the type of couple we were and the newborn shoot captured our daughter Anjali very well.
Having liked portrait photography for a long time, the outcome of the photos are well satisfactory. We'd (...)

We visited Valent Lau Photography for a newborn session for our baby daughter Anna. She was 7 days old at the time. Baby Anna was crying a bit when we arrived to the studio but Valent was very patient with her and set everything up for the perfect shot. She calmed down immediately!
We took many different pictures with different props. The images were wonderful! We selected a few prints and they were fantastic when they arrived. Valent provided us with digital files as well, which have been very handy, since our families are overseas.
We recommend Valent for anyone looking for baby photos.

We came to do some photos with our baby Hugo to remember this special time because he's growing so fast! We came to Valent and it's been a wonderful experience. He wanted to know our story, so that way he could know what was so special about us and our connection with Hugo. He makes you feel very comfortable and relaxed during the photo shoot. That's essential to show that relationship that you have with your baby in the photos.
The Design Consultation after that I think is the most enjoyable part of the process. We got to see all the amazing photos in a slideshow and create our artwor(...)

We had our baby girl photographed by Valent at 13 days old. The photos were absolutely beautiful. Thank you Valent for capturing these precious moments of her.

We’ll work with you to celebrate your baby’s uniqueness and their bond with you, and create artwork you’ll love forever.
Hear what Jen & Bronte had to say about their session with us.
The best time to capture your newborn is between in the first 2 weeks after birth. Since you are in hospital for the first few days, it’s best to come in right after going home. This is the best time to capture that etherial, womb-like state. But this isn’t the only age. There are also other ages that are great for baby photography. Check our blog for a detailed explanation.
Where can we have a newborn photography session?
For the utmost comfort and convenience, our Eastern Suburbs studio is perfect for sessions with very small babies. It’s climate controlled and comfortable, allowing you to relax and fully enjoy the experience. We can also go to a range of outdoor locations in Sydney – however, it’s you should consider the weather and elements, especially when dealing with a newborn. Another option is that we visit your home with our studio equipment. Talk to us to discuss your unique needs.
Do you include parents and siblings in the photoshoot?
Yes, we love to include the whole family in the celebration. After all, we want to see baby, but when they grow up, they will want to see photos with mum, dad, and all the siblings. We’ll plan with you all the different combinations so nobody is left out.
Do you provide wraps and props?
We have a range of color wraps for your shoot. We also have some buckets and other small props. For hygiene, we wash everything between clients. For the parents, we’ve also partnered with a dress hire company so you can have access to a huge range of clothing in current styles.
What if my baby isn’t well?
Your little bundle of joy is also full of surprises. If they are unwell, or has broken out with a rash, or flaky dry skin, then we will reschedule your session so they can rest. We’ll talk about contingencies when you book in your session.
When do I get to see my photographs?
We know you’re excited to see your images. No more waiting for weeks. We offer your Design Consultation in the studio the same afternoon of your shoot. During this fully guided consultation, you will see all the beautiful images we have captured and be able to create your artwork.
