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(...)

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.

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.

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.

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’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.
