Celebrating the New Baby's in 2026
I’d love yours to be one of them!
You’re invited to a unique Photoshoot Experience to honour this special time in your life!
Hi Mama, Thaty Cargnelutti here.
I’m a passionate portrait photographer with over six years of experience and the proud owner of a beautiful studio in Hobsonville, Auckland.
Originally from Brazil, I’m a proud mama to three incredible boys. Becoming a mother changed the way I see the world. It taught me how fleeting this season is, and how deeply meaningful it is to pause and honour it.
I believe newborn photography is about more than beautiful images.
It’s about preserving the quiet moments, the tiny details, and the deep connection formed in those early days.
Let’s capture this moment with heart, before it becomes a memory.
Celebrate your little one with a Newborn Photoshoot
Your baby will never be this small again.
Preserve these early days with timeless, tender images full of love, warmth and meaning.
You can choose the way you like to save this unique moment.
Studio Session
$200 Session Fee
Beautifully styled images created in a calm and cosy environment. My Hobsonville studio is fully equipped with props, wraps, and outfits to create soft, natural portraits of your little one.

In-home Session
$299
A relaxed and intimate way to capture your baby’s first days in the comfort of your own home. I’ll bring a selection of props, wraps, and outfits to create soft, natural portraits of your little one. Parents and siblings are always welcome to join the session, which includes up to two hours of photography and access to my newborn outfits, wraps, and props. Around 72 hours later, you’ll attend a private viewing appointment to choose and purchase your favourite images. Purchased images will be delivered through a private online gallery for easy viewing, downloading, and sharing.
Professional Retouching
Every image you select is carefully and professionally retouched to the highest standard. Newborn retouching is always soft, natural, and respectful — designed to preserve your baby’s unique features while gently refining the image.
This may include:
• Softening skin tones and balancing colour
• Reducing temporary newborn marks such as redness, flakes, scratches, or baby acne
• Gently minimising milk spots or minor blemishes
• Removing distractions or unwanted elements in the background
• Subtle colour correction and artistic finishing
Important to know:
All retouching is discussed after you have selected your favourite images. No edits are made without your full knowledge and approval. Your baby’s natural details are always respected, and only gentle, age-appropriate retouching is applied.

Sessions are scheduled based on your due date. Once your baby arrives, we’ll confirm the actual session date, which is typically within the first 14 days of birth. We schedule sessions on weekday mornings around 10 am.
The best time for newborn photos is when your baby is between 5 to 12 days old. During this time, babies are naturally sleepy and easy to pose in those adorable, curled-up positions reminiscent of the womb, creating the most iconic newborn portraits.
