My wife and I came in to see Valent to get photos taken of our 5 week old son. Initially we just wanted to get a few casual shots, we didn't think we'd want many. In the end we were very happy with all the photos we got. Valent made us very relaxed throughout the whole process. He got to know us and understand us and our relationship with our son. We were very very happy and got some wonderful photos.

We came here for family photos of our newborn and our first child. We didn't know what to expect as we hadn't done this before.
The experience had a really homely feel and very professional. We really felt comfortable in the environment. It brought out the personality of all the kids and ourselves. The end result was we were really happy with the photos and it really reflects our personalities and that of our family. I don't think we can ask for more.
It was a good overall experience.

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.

I think Valent is really highly detailed in everything he does. When you have a kid, there are so many things happening around the kids and you have baby brain. It's really good to have his input when he was taking the pictures. Valent gives direction, but also helps you feel what you want to capture.
When he was handing our newborn who was just 13 days old, Valent was extremely careful. You could tell he had experience with babies because he didn't disturb the baby at all, he was happy and kept sleeping all the way through.

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 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 had a very relaxed session. Valent was exceptional with Thomas. You could tell that he's a parent himself, the way he dealt with him, and got him to settle better than us.
The approach to the photography session was not just about taking a photo of him or us, it was more about kind of trying to capture our relationship and the connections we have with him. It was a really positive experience and hopefully something we come back to more and more.

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.

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.
