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 for a baby shoot with our 4 month old. It was a really fun experience. We went from Valent first taking us around to the studio and showing us the place. It was very professional and we could see a lot of samples of the kind of photos we could get.
After that we came in to do an actual photo shoot session. On the day we arrived, Valent made us feel really comfortable. Valent had a lot of good ideas, the session actually went a lot faster than we initially thought!
When we came in for the photos, they were really awesome. I think they turned out beyond our expectations to be (...)

We had portraits done with our 4 month old baby with Valent Lau Photography. It was a cold day outside so it was good to be inside in a warm studio. Our son was initially asleep but soon woke up after arriving.
Valent was good at getting lots of different shots of our son, and lots of different details. We love the resulting photos. We had such a great day and even though our baby was only 4 months old valent made it extremely comfortable for all of us and beared with us through the tantrums, nappy changes and bottle breaks!
Would highly recommend Valent Lau Photography to all parents w(...)

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.

Valent was our photographer for both our maternity and newborn baby session. It was our first child and a very exciting time for us.
We firstly captured some stunning pregnancy shots with the sunrise over the beach. We got up early and arrived when the sky was still dark! We loved the beautiful colors of the sky that Valent captured.
For our baby session we made a combination of some clean simple shots of her as well as some of the family together. We ended up making a beautiful album from each session.

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.

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.
