Come in, sit down and breathe

You deserve to be looked after, even just for a moment

Hey mama, if you're here reading this, something big is happening in your world and I am so, so happy for you. Whether you're pregnant, freshly postpartum, or your little one is already growing way too fast (how?!) I want you to know that what you're stepping into right now is worth remembering. Every single bit of it.

I know that little voice, the one that whispers is this really worth it? Between the cost, the logistics, the "I don't even know what I'd wear"... I've been there and here's what I know for sure: you will never once look back at a photo of your baby's tiny hands curled around your finger and think I wish I hadn't done this.

You will think the opposite. Every. Single. Time.

This guide is your first look at what it feels like to work with me. Take your time, read through it and let yourself feel it.

And I'm Here

FOR YOU

I'm here to slow it right down for you because I know how fast it is going, I really do. From one mama to another, I've felt my whole world spiral with multiple emotions after seeing that positive test and I've been documenting memories of my children ever since. I enjoy the simple magic of motherhood, embrace the chaos and my one non-negotiable is family photos every year.

Your

EXPERIENCE

From the moment you book in, you're not just a client, you're someone I'm genuinely invested in. It's not over for me after our session - I actually think of you all the time. I wonder how you are, how much your little ones getting, hoping that you are ok, thinking of you around their first birthday and knowing in my heart that you've just completed the biggest year of your life. I'll be in your corner through all of it. I have all the good coffee spot recommendations near the studio, help you figure out what to wear and I know when your baby is about to lose the plot before they even know it. That's the kind of thing that only comes from doing this with love, not just as a job. There's soft music in the background, or quite nature sounds outdoors and real conversations. I'll straighten your necklace, fix your hair, find your best light and be your hype girl. I'll also remind you just how absolutely stunning you are.

We laugh lots. We slow down and breathe. We take our time. And somewhere in between all of that, I capture the moments you'll treasure for the rest of your life.

Bronwyn, Newborn Session

“Nastassjia is an exceptional photographer. From the moment we arrived, the session felt calm, natural, and completely unforced which makes all the difference during a newborn shoot. Her gentle presence and obvious experience meant everything flowed effortlessly (even with a cranky bubba). The images she captured are stunning. They are timeless, emotive, and beautifully composed, and they reflect real connection rather than overly posed moments.”

Testimonials

Welcome to the

STUDIO

My Narre Warren studio was designed with you in mind - warm, calm and cosy enough that you'll want to stay all morning. Soft natural light, neutral tones and a lounge area where you can sink in, have a snack and actually breathe for a moment. Because being a mum is a lot and you deserve a space that allows you to have a moment to yourself too.

Everything here, from the furniture to the wardrobe pieces to the little details I've chosen over the years, is here to make you feel at ease. Your only job when you walk through that door is to trust me and soak up every second with your family. I'll handle the rest.

Serene

LOCATIONS

If the outdoors is more your thing, we'll take your maternity or family session somewhere that feels like a whole mood.

From the rugged beauty of the Mornington Peninsula coastline to the dreamy, misty greens of the Dandenong Ranges. I know Melbourne's most stunning spots and I'll help you choose the one that feels like you.

Golden hour on the beach. Soft light filtering through the trees. You, bump out, hair blowing, feeling like the whole world slowed down for a second. I'll guide you into poses that feel natural and beautiful, hype you up the whole time, and you'll walk away with photos that will make you see just how much you will miss these days in the years ahead.

Step Into The

CLIENT WARDROBE

You don't need to stress about what to wear. Honestly, don't even think about it.

Over the years I've built a wardrobe full of pieces I genuinely love (I even wear them sometimes) Flowing dresses, soft knits, delicate layers and tighter fits, all chosen specifically for maternity, postpartum and beyond. Pieces that photograph beautifully and more importantly, make you feel good in your body right now, exactly as you are. These items will give you the added confidence you didn't know you had - you will feel that good. Before your session we'll chat about the look and feel you're going for, and together we'll find something that feels like you. Whether it's magical forest fairy vibes or a open robe by the water, I've got you.
