I became a photographer because I was terrified of forgetting.

Not forgetting the big things. The big things stick around.
It’s the small things that disappear.

The weight of a newborn on your chest.
The way they curl their fingers around yours like you’re the only safe place in the world.
The smell of their hair.
The sound of their breathing at 2am when the house is completely still and it’s just the two of you, and somehow, impossibly, you’ve never felt more full in your entire life.

I’m a mum of four. And I can tell you, no matter how present you are, no matter how hard you try to hold on — time is relentless.

It moves whether you’re ready or not.

What do you miss most?

This beautiful mama first enquired with me ages ago. At the time I had a holiday planned around her due date and had to say no (which stung. A lot!)

Then my plans changed, holiday was cancelled, and she booked!

I’m so glad you did Wendy! 🫶🏼

The universe has a wonderful way of making things fall into place.

Welcome to the world, sweet little girl. Meant to be đź’«

P.S. I’ve created a free guide to help you take photos in hospital using just your phone.

FRESH 48 Hospital Sessions 🍼🤍

Nobody tells you that the first 48 hours feel like a different kind of time.

Not slow. Not fast. Just suspended.

The world outside keeps moving and somehow you don’t care.

You are in a hospital room with cold toast, scratchy sheets, and the most profound thing that has ever happened to you asleep on your chest.

You smell their head.

Again.

And again.

Your whole life has a new centre of gravity and you haven’t even processed it yet.

These hours don’t ask anything of you except to be here.

And you are.

Completely, overwhelmingly, tearfully here.

That’s the part I never want you to forget 🤍💫

If you’re welcoming your baby at Ashford Hospital Maternity , Burnside Hospital or Calvary Health Care and want to remember the beautiful haze of those first days, send me a DM with your due date.

Nobody tells you how much happens in the first two weeks.

The way your baby smells.
The weight of them on your chest.
The way your whole house feels different now that they are in it.

You are not sleeping. You are not yourself yet. And somehow it is the most you have ever felt in your entire life.

That is what I love to capture.

Not just a baby. The whole moment. The look on your face when you hold them. The way your partner watches you like you hung the moon. The tiny fingers. The way they still curl up like they were never meant to be this side of the world yet.

It goes so fast it almost doesn’t feel real.

The first two weeks are when all of it is still so raw and so new and so incredibly tender. That is my window. That is why I ask you to book early, before they arrive if you can, because once those two weeks are gone they are gone.

Older babies are just as loved and just as welcome. The photos are just a different story.

If you are not sure where to start, send me a message. I’d love to help you figure it out.

NEW Seila dress has just been added to the client wardrobe 🤍

I am obsessed with this one and think she is going to become a fan favourite.

Maternity sessions are ideal from 28 weeks onwards and if you have been thinking about it, this is your sign.

Comment BUMP below and I’ll send you a sweet little offer you won’t be able to say no to.

Happy Friday everyone!

These photos you see on the grid, they didn’t happen by chance…

Behind every calm, dreamy newborn session is a family who followed a simple little plan.

They knew what to wear.
They’d fed and settled their baby just right.
They walked in with trust, and everything just flowed.

Preparation is everything.

It’s the difference between a session that flows and one that fights you the whole way.

If you have a newborn session coming up with me, or anyone, you need to know exactly what to do.

Comment PREP and I’ll send you everything you need to know.

I gotta share this with you all…..

I’ve been MIA from socials lately. I haven’t been creating content just for the sake of the algorithm….

Instead….I’ve been filling my time building all new processes, systems AND….wait for this one….

An online print store 👏🏻

Completely bespoke. Designed so you can sit on your couch, in your own time, and play around with album designs and wall art until it feels exactly right.

Something that is going to change the way busy families get beautiful artwork into their homes.

And for those of you who still want me right there beside you doing it all together, I’m not going anywhere. That will never change!

This is just me making sure there’s a way in for every kind of family.

Coming very soon 🤍

No more excuses….now you have to print your photos!

A little girl who looked at her mum like she hung every star đź’«

There is a love that lives outside of language.

One that sits in hospital rooms and still finds something to be grateful for.
That reads the same bedtime story in a bed that isn’t home and makes it feel like home anyway.

That has learned to celebrate differently.
That has learned to hope quietly.
That has stood in rooms where the light felt too bright and the news felt too heavy.

Life is breathtaking.
Life is also unfair. And sometimes, it is both on the very same day.

I had the absolute honour of witnessing the most beautiful kind of love.

I hope these images give it back to you, on the days you need reminding of just how remarkable you are.

Keep shining bright .robyn
