Sydney Newborn, Maternity & Family Photographer
CALM, NATURAL PHOTOGRAPHY FOR YOUR FAMILY’S MOST MEANINGFUL CHAPTERS
From your growing bump to those tiny newborn days and beyond — heartfelt maternity, newborn and family portraits in my welcoming Oatley studio. HelloBABY Photography creates natural photographs for growing families across Sydney, with a calm, personal approach from your first enquiry.
Your story, beautifully remembered
Some moments deserve more than a quick photo on your phone. As a Sydney photographer specialising in newborn, maternity and family photography, I create natural, timeless portraits of the people you love — with gentle guidance, beautiful light and room to simply be yourselves.
Based in Oatley in southern Sydney, I photograph pregnancy, those fleeting first weeks with your baby and the beautiful everyday connections that make your family yours.

Little beginnings, big love
Natural newborn photography in Sydney, with gentle, baby-led portraits in my peaceful Oatley studio. There is time for feeding, settling and cuddles, and parents and siblings are welcome to join in. I provide soft wraps, baby outfits and simple styling so you can focus on your little one.
The beauty of becoming
Celebrate your pregnancy with soft, flattering maternity photography in Sydney. My relaxed studio maternity sessions include gentle posing guidance and access to a curated client wardrobe, so you can feel comfortable, confident and completely yourself in front of the camera.
Together, just as you are
Family photography in Sydney should feel like spending time together, not posing for a perfect picture. From new parents to families with growing children, my natural family photoshoots focus on connection, personality, cuddles and the genuine moments you will want to remember.
One year, all
the joy
Celebrate your baby’s first birthday with a colourful cake smash photography session in Sydney. Choose a styled setup that suits your little one, then enjoy the giggles, curious expressions and wonderfully messy moments. A fun way to remember the personality of this once-in-a-lifetime milestone.
A little more ease, a lot more heart
Hi, I’m Reka — a Sydney photographer and mum of two. I know how quickly these stages pass, and how much it means to hold on to them. For more than 10 years, I’ve photographed babies, expectant mums and families as they celebrate life’s most meaningful chapters.
Sessions at my welcoming Oatley photography studio are calm and thoughtfully planned. Whether you are here for maternity portraits, your newborn baby’s first professional photoshoot an updated family portrait or a joyful first-birthday cake smash, I’ll gently guide you when you need it and give you space to relax, connect and enjoy the moment.
With wardrobe options for mums, newborn wraps and outfits, plenty of time for little ones and an unhurried approach, being photographed should feel easier than you imagined. The result is a collection of natural images that look and feel like your family.
Thoughtfully simple, from beginning to end
Beautiful photographs matter. So does how you feel while they’re being made. My Sydney photography sessions are designed to be relaxed, personal and straightforward from the first conversation through to your finished portraits.
A warm, unhurried experience
From a baby-led newborn photography session to a relaxed family photoshoot, there is gentle direction and time to settle in. We work at your family’s pace, so the photographs never feel forced.
The little details are taken care of
A curated studio wardrobe for mums, newborn outfits and wraps, helpful preparation advice and a welcoming Oatley studio mean there is less for you to organise. I’ll guide you through what to expect before your session.
Photographs worth keeping close
Your photographs are professionally finished and shared through a private online gallery. Choose your favourite digital portraits and explore beautifully made prints, folio boxes and albums to enjoy at home.
