Experience
Working together
As a mum of three wonderfully independent (and sometimes stubborn) children, I completely understand the pre-shoot worries - the "will they behave?", or "will anyone even smile?" kind of thoughts. I've been there, and I promise, there's no need for stress. My sessions are calm, flexible, and designed to let your family just be themselves.
We'll choose a beautiful location that suits your vibe, pick the best time for lovely natural light, and I'll gently guide the session, so it feels more like a relaxed outing than a formal shoot. The magic happens in the in-between moments - the giggles, cuddles and chaos - and those are often the memories that mean the most.
FAQ
Can siblings be included in newborn photoshoots?
YES YES YES AND YES! I encourage including the whole family in these sessions, as although it is centered on your newest little love, it is also about capturing your families love and freezing the new journey you are all embarking on together.
Are the travel expenses included in your packages?
I am happy to travel around Victoria and love photographing new locations.
I charge $50 if your shoot location is more than an hour's drive from my home in Bunyip.
Can you recommend any good locations?
I have a range of locations around South East Melbourne, and am always on the look out for new places. So depending on the vibes you are wanting for your shoot we can discuss our options together.
What if the weather is bad on the day of an outdoor shoot?
I have never looked at the weather more than what I do now. It is Melbourne, things change so quickly and last minute, I will continually keep you updated on my opinions about the weather and we can reschedule if need be.
Testimonials
Shaye you are simply the best. You made our photoshoot so easy. You took the time to engage and get to know my children and made them feel so relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. It didn't feel unnatural or awkward at all. It was actually such a fun shoot, filled with lots of laughs. Can't recommend you more. x

Testimonials
Love how easy it was to book a session. Shaye captured our family beautifully and engaged our toddler who can be a little camera shy. Even saved me from a coffee spill on my outfit which occurred on the way to the shoot. Incredible photos that are worth a regular update.

I just want to thank you for our photoshoot this morning! I am so glad we came across you, you were so calm and accommodating it was such an amazing space to be in, especially as a first-time mum still getting used to being out and about with a new bub. I could not recommend you more! You captured the most amazing shoot of our baby girl.

Testimonials
Shaye did our maternity and newborn shoot for our third and last baby, and our experience was amazing! Not only was she friendly and professional, but she was so easy to deal with and so accommodating when we were running late as we included the whole family for both. I now always recommend Parker Blue Photography to family and friends. We get so many compliments on the photos. So very happy.

Testimonials
Shaye is absolutely amazing with a camera!! Couldn't be happier with the photos we got of our newborn as well as letting us include our dog in our photos. Even though it took a while for us to settle our newborn, Shaye was more than patient with us! Couldn't recommend enough & will definitely be using her in the future for more family photos.
