Reka came highly recommended by a dear friend and we decided to do our maternity shoot with her. She was easy to work with from the get-go, answering lots of our questions before the shoot. During the shoot, she was warm and friendly, giving us great direction so that our shoot did not feel unnatural. She was also so patient with our toddler and made him feel so comfortable that he kept going to her for cuddles. The atmosphere in the studio was calm, relaxing and very family-friendly. We are truly so happy to have found her and can't wait to do our newborn shoot with her soon. Edit to add: we've since had our newborn shoot and also had such a wonderful experience! Reka managed to get my baby to sleep eventhough she's a bit older and got some beautiful sibling photos. We love our photos so much and look forward to future shoots with her

We had such an incredible experience with Reka! We booked last minute hoping we wouldn’t miss the newborn window. Our baby girl is 3 weeks old and Reka was able to keep her calm and sleeping the whole time we were there. She took the most incredible photos of us and our little one. We can’t wait to see the results, thank you Reka for your hard work and dedication to your craft - you can really tell you love what you do!

We couldn't be happier with our experience with Reka. She photographed both our maternity and newborn sessions, and from start to finish she made us feel comfortable, relaxed, and well looked after. She was incredibly gentle and patient with our newborn son and captured the most beautiful photos that we will cherish forever. Reka's warmth, professionalism, and talent shine through in everything she does. We are so grateful for the memories she has given our family and highly recommend HelloBaby Photography to anyone looking for a truly special photography experience.

We had the pleasure of working with Reka for both my sister and brother-in-law's maternity shoot and later their newborn session and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the moment we walked into her beautiful studio she made us all feel welcome, comfortable and completely at ease. Reka was incredibly gentle and patient with my newborn nephew and even shared some helpful newborn tips along the way. As the proud aunty I feel so grateful that we were all able to be part of capturing such a special chapter together. The photoshoot was fun, relaxed and full of beautiful moments - looking forward to seeing the final images! Thank you Reka for your talent, kindness, and patience. We highly recommend HelloBaby Photography! ♡

I cannot recommend this company and in particular the photographer Reka more! My little family and I have been using her for years and every single time she has been nothing but professional, so patient and the photos have always turned out 100%. I look forward to using her again in the future and always recommend her to Family and Friends. Worth every single dollar, We look forward to each photo session we have with her more and more and can’t wait to use her again soon! X

Reka is incredible, 11 years ago I had my maternity shoot with her, then had my baby’s new born session and he’s cake smash, 11 years later I’ve welcomed another little boy, and I couldn’t imagine anyone else other than Reka taking his photographs, I am in Canberra and I will drive all the way to Sydney just to have her as our family photographer, extremely professional, so nice to us, and made the whole time my babies feel safe and happy, I can’t wait to book a family session, Reka is honestly the best, and I am so grateful for all the memories I get to have every time I look at the photos she made for us ♥️😍🙏🏻 thank you so much

I booked a maternity and newborn photoshoot with Reka and I am so, so happy that I did! The photos from both sessions are amazing and we will cherish them forever. Reka made my husband and I feel so welcome and she was incredible with our newborn. If you are thinking about booking with Reka, don’t hesitate - you will be so happy that you did!

We had the most beautiful experience with Reka for our newborn shoot. We felt comfortable throughout the whole process. She kindly guided us into poses that helped capture the cutest photos with our son. The photos captured all the small details including his little hands and feet. We couldn’t be happier with how they turned out and couldn’t be more grateful to have these photos that we will cherish for a lifetime.
