We love it when we stumble across a photographer who loves our babies almost as much as we do! This is why we were elated to discover Central Coast Photographer Belinda from Bellebird Photography.
Mum to five boys and grandmother to three, Belinda definitely gets the importance of family, and this comes through in her gorgeous images which she procures from her peaceful studio in leafy Lisarow.
Belinda specialises in newborn and maternity photography and is extremely passionate about documenting your family’s significant milestones. And lucky for Belinda, that includes having the privilege of capturing your tiny baby’s first moments too.
Belinda has also recently partnered with Little Annie to bring their world-famous “Pop-ins” to Hamlyn Terrace. These are quick and fun sessions that allow you to capture your little ones growing month by month and are JUST $20 a pop! We absolutely LOVE this idea to the moon and back! And we so wish this were around when our kids were babes.
To see what all the fuss is about and to check out some of her gorgeous images, read on. We promise, your future self will be thanking you later!
Newborn Photography
Not only is newborn photographer Belinda extremely passionate about capturing your tiny baby’s first moments but she’s also trained and certified in newborn safety, meaning she takes every care to let bub run the show – because let’s face it, that’s what babies do! Belinda goes the extra mile by having a trained newborn assistant on deck during her newborn sessions – AND with five kids of her own (plus three grandkids!) it’s safe to say – she knows what she’s doing when it comes to our tiny wrigglers!
Each newborn session runs for 3 hours, which allows plenty of time for feeding and comforting. Families are welcome too with portraits of siblings being taken at the start of the session. It’s recommended that you arrange for Dad or someone to take any younger children home after their snaps have been taken to that Belinda can then concentrate on your baby.
Then, once your newborn session is complete, you’ll come away with a visual legacy that will become a family keepsake forever.

Pop-In Portraits
Want to know what “Pop-in” Portraits are all about? Basically, they’re super quick, brilliantly fun fly-by sessions where you can quite literally “pop in” to have your family snaps taken in the session’s trademark chair. These sessions are a fantastic way of documenting your baby’s growth month by month and they’re really easy to do. Simply, book via the www.popinphotos.com website, pop in on the day for your quick snap, and then get your digital photo back within days of your shoot, ready to download and share or print as many times as you like!
Then, do it all over again next month! But be warned, “Pop-ins” are addictive!
Where: Hamlyn Terrace on the Central Coast and Berowra on the Upper North Shore.
Cost: $20 a pop!
