Services
Emma Pender Photography is a dedicated husband and wife team consisting of Emma and Antonio. We both have different roles in the business. Emma is the photographer and Antonio is always there as an assistant to ensure that your newborn is safe and secure once in the props. Our love of newborn photography started about 5 years ago and quickly turned into our full-time job.
It is never too early to book your newborn session. We only take a certain amount of bookings each month, so to avoid disappointment, we recommend booking your session as soon as possible. A booking requires a $100 non-refundable deposit, paid via bank transfer. After which, we'll provide you with all the information to prepare for your session.
There's not much that can top the pure rawness and love that having a new baby brings. Our Fresh 48 sessions are aimed at capturing all the emotions and little details of your brand new arrival. Time passes by so quickly and before you know it, your little baby has already started growing and changing.
These sessions are aimed at documenting your little one's newfound achievements such as lifting their head while lying on their belly (tummy time), being able to sit unassisted (sitters) or starting to crawl. As every baby masters these steps at different ages, there is no set age that baby needs to be.
The products that are exclusive to our clients include wooden photo blocks, fine art photographs which are printed on museum grade paper and wooden handcrafted memory boxes. We only print with the best of the best, we don't print poor quality photos sorry. We work with Canson Museum Grade Paper, Ilford Galerie Fine Art paper and Hahnemuehle Fine Art paper.

I used Emma and Toni for both my maternity and newborn photoshoot and I was so happy with the whole experience. My maternity shoot was delayed due to lockdowns and they were so accomodating with locking in a new date and so patient with me being heavily pregnant and needing multiple breaks during the shoot. I was so nervous before attending but they made me feel at ease and comfortable straight away. At my newborn shoot they worked really hard and spent a lot of time getting the shots needed as my baby was being really fussy! The turnaround time to receive the photos was quick and I absolutely

Emma and Toni were extremely professional and gentle with my newborn. They have a lot experience and it shows.
The photographs turned out beautifully and the style was flawless.
They captured my daughter so beautifully and even got a lovely picture of her smiling.
I purchased the printing and frames which compliment the style perfectly.
I highly recommend Emma and Toni.

Emma and Toni where incredible when photographing my 2 week old daughter, they are so gentle and patient with babies.
Their creative skill and attention to detail was second to none and it really shows in the end product and the array of different textured and coloured props there is to choose from was amazing.
I would highly recommend Emma Pender photography to others and would absolutely book her again in the future.

My husband and I are so happy we chose Emma and her husband to do our first born's newborn shoot! Very well priced, very professional and great communication in setting up the shoot and afterwards. Our bub was… very relaxed during the shoot, and the photos are absolutely stunning and better than we could have imagined. Would definitely recommend Emma!

What an awesome experience. Emma and her hubby are the most lovely couple we have met. Such a great experience for our first newborn shoot. Everything was done in such a delicate way and we felt so comfortable. Not to mention our gorgeous pics at the end! Will definitely go back if we have other children. Highly recommend, thanks again it is great to see how much you love your work!

Emma is simply amazing! Her and her partner were brilliant with both our newborn and our two year old. Emma takes beautiful photos and makes you feel comfortable whilst doing so. All of our images have been tastefully edited and have exceeded mine and my partners expectations, we can't wait until we can come back to do a sitter session

My husband and I had photos of our first bubba and our new little family unit done with Emma and Tony. They were so extremely patient and lovely to us considering our little guy refused to go to sleep for a while. Because of their great patience and extreme talent we were overjoyed with the end product. We will cherish Emma's artwork she created for us forever. I'd recommend her to everyone!
