We booked a session for our baby not knowing what to expect from a newborn photography session, specially given the covid issues going on. I must say that every step on the way was a wonderful experience. Initial communication was great, we could state our preferences and Reka explained in detail how things will turn out during the day.
And on the day, Reka greeted us outside the studio and carried our baby to the studio with literally no disturbances.
Then in the studio, she had 100s of props to choose from for both the baby and the mom, and she was quite patient until we made our choices. When

This cake smash session with Reka was such a fun way to celebrate our little one's first year. We received our photos about a week after the session and we LOVE them! Our daughter had been teething so was tired and shy but Reka was amazing at making her feel comfortable.
Our daughter has eczema and a milk allergy, and Reka was able to provide a dairy free cake and made sure her bath was soap-free, so thankful for her care and consideration.
Thanks Reka!

My wife found this place with the idea of having a photoshoot of us with our first born. The venue, which is a white building; is located within the hills of Hurtsville suburb. Street Parking is available adjacent to it.
Despite arriving a bit late, Reka was still able to welcome and accomodate us. She guided us downstairs where the studio is. The overall room seems spacious enough and after browsing around, all that she needs for the shoot --- dresses, props, panels, seats, baskets, flowers, backdrafts, accessories and the like. The room has big windows to let natural light come in which is essential

You are in great hands when you get your photos done at Hellobaby. Reka is very friendly and such a professional from her interaction to our kids to discussing how the photo shoot will go. Highly recommend and the photos speak for themselves, absolutely amazing and she captured the special moments in the newborn shoot.

Reka is amazing with newborns. She made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the experience. Reka captured stunningly beautiful photographs of our daughter when she was 5 weeks old which we will treasure forever. I would never hesitate to recommend Reka to anyone who wants a true professional to capture the best moments in life.

We had a fantastic experience with Hello Baby Photography who we booked to take our son's first birthday photos and a few family portraits. Reka was highly professional and great around babies and kids, which is what you need for these kinds of photos. The environment and setting were lovely and the photos turned out great. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for family or kid photographers.

I highly recommend Reka at Hello Baby photography. I'm a returned customer for their cake smash session for my second child. They have a great selection of themes to choose from and Reka helped to pick the perfect outfit to go with our chosen theme. She was professional and very patient with my busy child throughout the session. I was so happy to see all the beautiful photos that's she's captured for us. In fact, I received many compliments from family and friends how natural the photos look. I could not thank Reka enough for this!!

Incredibly professional. She kept my baby in a zen like sleep state for over two hours and my baby’s routine stayed good the rest of the day. The photography is stunning. Next level. I handed her a bunch of sunflowers and asked her to improvise and the results are next level. All my friends and family are blown away. Highly recommended. Totally worth the drive to the other side of town and we will be going back for a cake smash and other milestones.

I could not recommend a business more, if you are looking for beautiful pictures, I can not recommend Reka enough. If I could give more then 5 stars, I would.
From start to finish, my experience with Reka, was amazing! She catered to my schedule, and fit me in at short notice even when she didn’t have too. Reka greeted us at our car with a smile on her face and so my daughter would feel calm when in the studio, whilst she wore a mask.
she was so friendly and professional and made us all so comfortable, she even got my gallery to us before my daughters birthday, because she knew I wanted to

Hello Baby is by far the best photographer we have ever had. We have been lucky enough to have both our babies photographed by Zanelle. Zanelle is so talented and so welcoming. Her professionalism and photography is the best of the best. I wouldn't recommend anyone else.

Thank you so much Zee for the great conversations, the level of service provided was friendly and professional and we were particularly amazed at how you managed to get family and sibling shots with an unpredictable toddler. We love, love, love how the newborn, sibling and family photos turned out and would highly recommend you to anyone who is looking to get no fuss, professional and creative photos done.
