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 the beginning of your greatest love with a Newborn Photoshoot.
Choose your experience:
In home
Intimate, natural, and deeply personal — in-home newborn sessions celebrate your baby exactly where your story begins. Surrounded by familiar spaces, soft routines, and real-life moments, this experience captures the quiet love, connection, and tenderness of your first days together, just as they are.
Studio
Timeless, soft, and beautifully styled — studio newborn sessions are designed to capture your baby’s earliest days in a calm, cosy, and polished setting. With gentle light, neutral tones, and a warm studio space in Hobsonville, every detail is thoughtfully curated so you can relax and simply soak in these precious first moments.
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.
