Sarah is excellent with kids and even managed to capture some incredible shots of our very energetic toddler while handling our newborn with such care and elegance. Sarah is a rare breed and really listens to what you want and delivers. I can't recommend her highly enough and look forward inviting her to capture future milestones in our lives.

Hi and thanks for visiting. I'm Sarah Reilly, a passionate, accredited and experienced baby photographer based in Melbourne who promises to capture beautiful and natural portraits of you and your family that you will cherish forever. I specialise in taking timeless photographs of your newborn, baby, family, wedding and birth.
Brand new babies are my favourite thing to photograph - the beautiful portraits of a brand new baby often bring a tear to the parents eyes (and mine!). Newborn baby photographs are best captured in the first 5-14 days of the baby's life, so that they are still so squishy, tiny and sleepy. But you can bring them in whenever suits you, we will still get some beautiful photos regardless of their age!
What better way to celebrate your baby's first birthday than by smashing a perfectly beautiful birthday cake?! Yes, that's exactly what a Cake Smash is! We start the session with a 'before' shot - bring along your favourite outfit and we'll take some beautiful family portraits. Then we'll change your little one into their special cake smash outfit and bring out the cake!
This is such a special and amazing moment in your life that deserves to be remembered. By hiring me to capture this special time, you can relax knowing that you will have beautiful and tasteful images that I know you will cherish forever.
You and your partner can rest assured that regardless of the lighting, space, size of the room or type of birth you have, the images will be perfect and you will have your hands free to focus on more important matters.I have a documentary style of photography and tell the story of the day. I will seamlessly and unobtrusively capture your day without interfering.

Thank you Sarah for all your hard work on our beautiful newborn photos. We are delighted with the photos that you took and were so thankful for your gentle and calm nature throughout the shoot. Thanks again Sarah!
Sarah ensured that we were comfortable and calm throughout the shoot and provided time for us to feed, settle and change our baby as required without feeling rushed or pressured at all. Sarah has a gorgeous, gentle nature with babies and we felt completely comfortable with her the whole time.

Sarah has been our chosen family photographer for a while now, and we wouldn't use anyone else!! She has photographed all 3 of our children individually, done newborn shoots, cake smash sessions, outdoor family sessions, EVERYTHING! She always manages to get smiles out of our kids, and even my husband who hates photos!! I cherish the photos she has taken, they are always brilliant and take pride of place on our walls. Sarah is an absolute pleasure to work with, so patient and calm, and always willing to answer questions in the lead up to and during the shoot. I have willingly recommended her to

Sarah is absolutely amazing! We have used her on a few occasions now to capture our precious family moments from pregnancy, newborn and extended family photos. She is extremely patient and great with our kids (and the dogs!) If you are looking for someone talented and friendly to take your special images then Sarah is your lady!!

Sarah was amazing. She was able to capture my newborn and toddler beautifully. Her approach was professional, whilst remaining patient, warm and a lot of fun. This was particularly helpful when photographing my 2 year old son who is usually very camera shy!
The results of the photo shoot were outstanding and I would definatly recommend Sarah to anyone. Thanks again Sarah.

Sarah is an amazing photographer - not only because of how stunning her images are but also because she is so patient. We have many beautiful images to choose from after Sarah photographed our family of 6. With 4 young children, we though it would be hard to get some decent shots. However, Sarah is amazing with children and the kids all love her fun and calm vibe! The kids all look relaxed and happy in each photo. We couldn’t be happier!

Sarah is absoloutely amazing and I am so happy she photographed my baby girl. Sarah was professional and made my husband and I feel very relaxed about the photoshoot. She handled Syrah my 5 week old delicately and made sure she was 100% comfortable. I can't thank her enough for the fantastic photos she took. Sarah has a passion and loves working with children, I can highly recommend her.
