25.01.2022 They are only this little for such a short time, beautiful Zara has changed so much from her photo shoot! Bookings are best made while pregnant to secure your session.
24.01.2022 Ditch the Filters! Huge thanks to Sonia for allowing me to use some of her own images of her son alongside the ones that I have taken of him :-)
24.01.2022 Happy New Year everybody! Yesterday a Facebook memory popped up from NY 2019, it said that I had photographed 50 newborn sessions with 15 of them being twins. I then did a 'stock-take' of the shoots that I had done in 2020, being unable to work for over 6 months of the year I photographed only 22 babies (4 sets of twins). It got me thinking about how I survived the year, not just money (luckily I was able to get jobkeeper) but more importantly psychologically. I thought it mi...ght be interesting to share how I coped during the lock downs. I kept myself busy with my camera, unfortunately my children are not keen to be my subjects anymore so birds became my muse. I have decided to share some of those photos over the next week :-) Firstly here is a male helmeted Guinea Fowl looking out and protecting his harem. This photo was taken at Werribee Zoos Victoria during the brief period between lock downs

23.01.2022 Hi everybody! Well I don't know about you but I have been in a bit of a slump lately, I am not going to lie, not being able to shoot has been very hard. I am reassured though that I am doing the best thing for the little lives that I cuddle. This week I am launching a blog post about taking your own newborn photos at home using your phone. There will be a separate one about twins as I know I have a lot of twin mums following this page. ... On Friday I will be starting a Flash Back Friday post, sharing a newborn photo of a baby I have photographed along with their current photo. If I have photographed your child I would love to be able to share a current photo of them so send one through messenger! Lastly if you see my images pop up in your feed, give me a like, share or comment. This serves two reasons, firstly it will keep my page on the good side of the FB algorithms so that when I can work again I will hopefully not be too effected. Secondly It will also make me feel good! Much love, wash your hands and stay safe :-)
21.01.2022 Are your twins Yin and Yang? Are their personalities the opposite?
21.01.2022 Tenaya and I had fun taking her portraits tonight, the weather held out, light was gorgeous and there wasn't a breath of wind :-)
21.01.2022 I SEE YOU! As most of you know it is just me, Sarah, behind the scenes of Dart Newborn. I put my heart and soul into the pictures I take, it can be such an anxious time putting my photos out there for others to see. When you see the photos I take, even though they are of other peoples children you are seeing a little piece of me. I would love to do a huge shout out to those people who are the ones who support my business by always commenting and liking my posts on social medi...a, I have memorised those of you who like and comment regularly and I seriously thank you from the bottom of my heart! If you are looking for a way to easily support small business try liking/commenting on those posts you love, trust me, you will make someones day!
21.01.2022 Squishy little lips!
21.01.2022 Things have been pretty quiet around here but it is Zara's birthday and that deserves a shout out! Happy Birthday darling girl!
20.01.2022 2020 is filling fast! Booking best made while pregnant to avoid disappointment. Contact now to book.
20.01.2022 A little behind the scenes from me! I often have animal friends by my side while I edit. Today’s editing friend is ‘Smalls’ he is a starling I rescued and hand raised from a 2 day old chick, he found a forever home with me My other animal friends who often sit with me while I edit are my chickens, parrots or the kids guinea pigs! We also have fish, hermit crabs and stick insects but they aren’t quite as cuddly! Feel free to show me your animal friends below!
20.01.2022 I am finding some gorgeous locations to shoot my newborn sessions at, I am now fully booked till November. If you would like a session in November please contact me today as spots are filling fast.
19.01.2022 I got to see a little baby today :-) Genevieve 3 weeks young! Newborn shoots for November are currently booked out but I am taking bookings for December and due dates in 2021. Please get in contact ASAP to avoid disappointment.
19.01.2022 Gosh Celeste, you are a such a sweet little baby. loved my cuddles with her today!
19.01.2022 Here at Dart Newborn I am getting everything ready behind the scenes to reopen. I have had parents contact me who missed out on new squishy newborn photos and who would like to know what older newborn baby sessions look like. The great news is that photos can be taken at anytime, it is not too late for photos. The main differences between photos taken of a baby under 2 weeks of age and one older is that they are less curly, more chubby and also more alert. As you can see by B...ella's gallery it still leads to gorgeous photos! If you would like to be on the list for as soon as COVID restrictions lift, please contact me ASAP. Session availability will be limited. https://dartnewbornphotography.com//melbourne-in-home-pos/
19.01.2022 Did you count your baby's toes? Was there 10, 20 or even 30 to count!?
19.01.2022 This beautiful family's photos are all finished, nice way to start the week!
18.01.2022 It's FLASH BACK FRIDAY! Here we have baby Maximus all the way back from 2014, boy has he grown! It has been interesting going through my old work and noticing that my style of photography hasn't evolved all that much. This baby photo is a pose I do with almost all of my newborns still, it is a classic :-)
18.01.2022 'Ohhh hi! My name is Levi, and I don't mean to brag but I am really cute!'
18.01.2022 Meet Ela and Ayda <3 Beautiful girls who wanted to meet their parents earlier than expected!
17.01.2022 Finished this gorgeous family's photos tonight! My son hated my daughter after she was born, passionately hated her. I would have killed for a photo like this! If you would like to document precious moments like this, contact ASAP as spaces are booking quickly for January and onward next year.
16.01.2022 5 STARS!!! Sarah is an absolute delight to work with, she took beautiful photos of our newborn that we’ll treasure forever. Well priced and expert newborn handling, my little one was calm and peaceful throughout. Highly recommend. A lovely review left on google by Celeste's Mummy after receiving her gallery :-)
16.01.2022 Happy Sunday, here is a curly little newborn baby! Darling Jude's photos are all finished. My newborn sessions take place in parent's home, they are non touch and maintain social distancing for these sweet babies safety. If you would like to book a newborn photographer shoot contact Dart Newborn today.
15.01.2022 Levi's photos are all done and have been sent off! Yippee!
15.01.2022 Hi everybody! Just a little update from me to let you know behind the scenes things have been a bit intense :-( Obviously restrictions have not been lifted as quickly as we wanted and the 'Road Map' does not seem to be on track. I have been in contact with all clients awaiting session for their babies. I am still hoping to be able to shoot outside when I am allowed to work, I am also likely creating a temporary home studio on the chance I am not allowed to enter homes to phot...ograph. Insurance is also something that I am focusing on and trying to sort out as it is so important, especially in this time. Some good news is that photographers seem to have won the battle to allow our clients to remove their mask while they are being photographed. This is a obviously a big deal for portrait photographers like me :-) Information around COVID19 and restrictions change so quickly so I am at this stage still taking bookings but am not signing contracts or taking deposits until closer to the shoot date. If you are due to have a baby next year please get in contact as March in particular is starting to look very full! I am still planning Christmas session as well as school uniform mini sessions, with more details to follow after Sunday's announcement. Fingers crossed these can go ahead! Something that made my day and I thought I would share is that i was featured by Heart & Lifestyle with using their presets. Here is the link to check it out :-) https://heartandlifestyle.com//featured-artists-evergreen/
15.01.2022 I am often asked if I take photos of older children, the answer is yes! Sessions still take place in the family home so this means babies and children are happy and relaxed. Charlotte's photos were taken on her Mum and Dad's bed but i also shoot in the living rooms or kids bedrooms.... If you would like to book a newborn of child session feel free to message this page or call Sarah on 0411 736 264.

13.01.2022 20 little piggies!
12.01.2022 Well I think it's safe to say Bethany is smitten with her little brother Jude :-) Dart Newborn is currently open for bookings, all sessions occur in the safety of your own home, social distancing is practiced to maintain the health of these little lives. Safety is my number one priority. If you would like to book a session please contact today to avoid disappointment.
12.01.2022 How cute is this family??? If you are looking to book a beautiful newborn session, outdoor shoots are so much fun, I am actually almost thankful for COVID outdoor shooting only rules!
11.01.2022 10 facts about me! 1 - My one and only vice is food! In fact we are going for a second home loan and our broker told us to hold off a month because the banks will knock us back due to the frequency that UberEats appears on our bank statements ;-) 2 - I shoot with a Canon R camera, it's a full frame mirrorless camera. It is silent with no shutter noise, so I have to reassure my clients that I am actually taking photos! My 2 favourite lenses to use are the Sigma 35 1.4 art, and...Continue reading
11.01.2022 Here’s to strong women: May we know them. May we be them. May we raise them. Today is International Women's Day.
11.01.2022 Happy Mother’s Day to all those new mums out there! I am currently taking bookings for babies with a due date of June onwards. If you would like to book, contact today as dates are booking fast.
09.01.2022 Maxwell the spunk! I had a very hard time picking a photo of him to share, they were all so super cute! Someone knows how to work the camera already :-)
09.01.2022 I feel like its time for me to have a nappy nap as well... at least until my insomnia kicks in!
09.01.2022 New Blog Post up! https://dartnewbornphotography.com//melbourne-in-home-pos/
07.01.2022 Sibling love!
07.01.2022 C O V I D - 1 9 U P D AT E DART NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY IS TEMPORARILY CLOSED. It is with heavy heart that I have to announce the temporarily closure of my business. I am no longer taking bookings of due dates before July 2020. As someone in an at risk category it is simply too dangerous for me to continue shooting at the moment. ... I am implementing some strategies over the next week which will hopefully mean that families with newborns can still capture some squishy fresh photos of their new babies. This will include blog posts and some online videos on some simple techniques to DIY some gorgeous photos yourself. I will also be available by appointment to communicate via facetime/skype while you are taking your own photos, giving you some hints, tips and encouragement! This will all be FREE of charge :-) Later in the year I will be releasing family mini sessions, these are very popular and I will open up a full 2 weeks of these sessions instead of 1 week. While I haven't worked out details yet they will be very affordable. Lots of small businesses are going to suffer over the following months. I highly urge you all to continue supporting your favorite local small businesses. If you can, use their services when the pandemic blows over. If you are not in a financial situation there are other really simple ways you can help.... - Like, comment and share small businesses posts and their page. - Tag friends and family in posts you think they might enjoy. - If friends and family are looking for services that you know a local small business provides, recommend them. - If you have used their services jump on google, facebook ect and give them a 5 star rating and a nice testimonial. - Email or message the small business and check in with them. I know that times like this will be very depressing for a lot of people and that is why I will continue to post lots of baby pictures on here and on instagram, I usually only share 1-2 images from a session so I have LOTS of never before seen photos to put smiles on your faces! I am not closing my business completely, I will be doing lots behind the scenes work getting ready for when the time comes that I can sling my trusty camera around my neck again! Go gently everybody, stay healthy and wash your hands! Sarah <3
07.01.2022 The true meaning of the 'Whole world in their hands'. I am currently taking bookings for babies due in July onward, I highly recommend booking while still pregnant to avoid disappointment. Remember if you are due soon or have just had your baby you can get DIY tips for taking your own photos on the blog. I will gift you a FREE customised birth announcement card and I will even be available for some advice if you would like it. If your baby has some scratches or acne you wan...t removed I will be happy to edit a photo or two for you as well! https://dartnewbornphotography.com//melbourne-diy-pandemi/ If you have any pregnant or new mum friends tag them below.
07.01.2022 I smile so wide when I catch their little smile
06.01.2022 In case you have been living under a rock... I am able to shoot again!!! If you have had a baby in the last few months and missed out on a newborn session please get in contact with me, it is never too late to document your baby. Michaela here is 11 weeks old, we captured beautiful awake photos of her as well as some stunning sleepy photos <3 <3 <3 I have lots of emails and messages recently about Christmas sessions, I am was going to launch them this weekend but have been flat out catching up on the babies who missed out on their newborn session. I will be releasing the Christmas session, first to previous clients and then to the public. My aim is to get them live on Wednesday next week. Turn over will be quick so still plenty of time to organise prints for presents.
06.01.2022 The shirt is back on! Mind you a little bit tight due to COVID belly I started shooting today! All shoots are outdoors in gorgeous locations, if you have had a baby in the last few months I do have a small amount of space to squeeze some more shoots in next week :-) get in touch ASAP before they are filled :-)
06.01.2022 Yay! schools back! This was what I looked like as I was watching my kids school get smaller in my rear vision mirror!
05.01.2022 The angelic Maxwell's photos are off to his family! Isn't he divine? While my business is temporarily closed I am doing lots of work behind the scenes. I am currently taking bookings for due dates of JULY onward. If you are having a baby after July feel free to get in touch to talk about a newborn session....
05.01.2022 For a bit of fun, Friday's are now FLASH BACK FRIDAYS! Here we have Ebony, she just had her 4th birthday and still has beautiful red hair! If you have a current photo of your child you would like shared, send one through :-)... Remember if you are due soon or have just had your baby you can get DIY tips for taking your own photos on the blog. I will gift you a FREE customised birth announcement card and I will even be available for some advice if you would like it. If your baby has some scratches or acne you want removed I will be happy to edit a photo or two for you as well! https://dartnewbornphotography.com//melbourne-diy-pandemi/ Feel free to contact me via messenger. I am currently taking bookings for July on wards, sessions are filling fast so best to book while still pregnant to avoid disappointment.
05.01.2022 The beautiful little miracle that is Yara! As you may know I shoot on location in my clients home, this keeps babies and their families relaxed. Today Yara's mummy took some great BTS photos that I thought you might like to see. I am out of my quiet summer period and am into the autumn baby boom, I am currently taking bookings into and beyond June. if you would like a session I suggest booking early while still pregnant to avoid disappointment. ... To book message this page or contact Sarah on 0411 736 264.
03.01.2022 OPEN FOR BOOKINGS! I'M BACK BABY! After contacting what feels like ALL the government agencies, I have been given the go ahead to resume shooting! On their recommendations things will need to be done differently for the time being, the safety of my clients and their new babies always has been my number one priority. Consequently to reduce risk, I am introducing 'NO TOUCH' newborn sessions with some new polices and protocols. ... - Currently there are only 5 reasons in Victoria for leaving your home, this does not include photography BUT because I travel to you, photos can be legally taken in the safety of your home! - Social Distancing has proven that it is effective at stopping the virus and so I have implemented this in my business. I will be able to shoot staying 1.5m away at all times using a long lens (for those wondering, a 100mm 2.8 canon L). This lens means I can stand quite far back but still be able to take photos as if I was close up. - To keep baby safe only parents will be handling baby, I will prepare everything while mum or dad cuddle baby to sleep, they then place baby down on my blanket for me to take photos. This sounds daunting but I promise it is not difficult. I even have a pretend baby doll I will be using to show you where to pop baby and how to wrap baby! - Regardless of if I am touching baby or not I feel it is important that I do absolutely everything in my power to keep baby safe, so I will voluntarily be wearing a mask during sessions. - Hand hygiene is vitally important, I have a good supply of hand sanitizer. This part of my business hasn't changed much! - All items used on baby as well as my camera gear is sanitised between families. - I will be introducing a new COVID-19 contract, with a health declaration. Temperatures will be taken with a digital forehead thermometer before the session. All sessions will be postponed, no questions asked, with no charge due to illness. Even slight sings of illness will mean sessions will be postponed, rest assured that while I try and shoot babies before 2 weeks of age I have lots of success with older babies as well. There is no 'golden age' for newborn photos. - On the governments advice I have downloaded the COVID-safe app and recommend all my clients to also download it to help trace just in case another client did end up positive. If you have any questions or you are ready to book do not hesitate to contact me!
03.01.2022 Who wants to sleep? Not me! I am enjoying playing peekaboo! It's never too late to get photos done, Baby Bella is nearly 9 weeks old, her photos are super cute and still include some beautiful sleepy shots :-)
03.01.2022 Have you had a baby.... or babies, recently? It's never too late to photograph your baby! These beautiful boys were bigger than newborns for their session, but could you imagine not capturing this moment?... Contact me today for availability!
03.01.2022 Did you hear?? Dart Newborn is shooting again! Here we have little Charley, she was awake towards the end of her photo shoot and had the BEST expressions :-)... Currently newborn shoots are following social distancing guidelines and are 'No Touch', parents handle baby and I shoot using a long close up lens from a distance back. If you would like to book a newborn photo shoot please contact me today to avoid disappointment.
03.01.2022 Some availabillity left for Short Newborn Sessions in February and March. Book now to secure your session
02.01.2022 WATCH THIS SPACE! COVID-19 update. These are such strange times, I would like to reassure all my clients that I am doing absolutely everything in my power to run my business as safely as possible. I have completed the government learning on COVID-19. I will be asking all clients if they are well, if they have traveled recently and if they have been in contact with anyone who is unwell. ... Currently I am still shooting and I am following all guidelines to the letter. This could change at any time and potentially I will not be able to continue shooting. For those clients who no longer want to go ahead with their session I will be refunding what they have paid no questions asked. For some clients I will be able to postpone their session. I will guarantee sleeping baby photos up to 4 months of age, I often photograph older babies between 4-16 weeks old and so I am very skilled at this age. For these photos babies will be wrapped and minimally posed but we can still take beautiful photos. I will be releasing a blog post on this next week with some more information. For all new bookings my full session (baby and family) will now be unavailable. My short session (baby only) will still be available, but to abide by the 1.5m social distancing guidelines I will no longer be handling the babies, the photo style will turn into more of a documentary lifestyle. This style of photography is just gorgeous, some of my most favourite photos I have ever taken have been in this style. I will be photographing babies on the master bed or in the nursery and will be asking parents to handle and move the babies for me. I will be using a long lens so I do not need to get too close. I will be wearing an N95 mask and will be using alcoholic hand rub regularly. I will be releasing a blog post on this next week with some more information. For those clients who would like family photos I will be offering outdoor family mini sessions in October and November. This will be very affordable and will be a great add on to those people who book the short session (baby only). If you would like to be added onto my mailing list to be able to secure a family mini session please PM my page. I will be releasing a blog post next week with some more information. I hope that all this makes sense, we as a society will be in for a rough ride over the next 6 months, babies though will continue to be born!

Just a reminder that I am open for business again with a safe 'Non Touch' technique. If you would like to book please contact me today, June is looking very busy!
02.01.2022 I'M BACK BABY! Darling 3.5 week old Benjamin was my first social distance 'no touch' session. I think it turned out very well! Mum popped baby on the rug under my instruction and I photographed baby from a distance using a long lens. It is important to me to minimise risk as much as possible and to keep these little lives safe!... If you missed out on newborn photos due to COVID-19 I will still happily take your baby's photos.

01.01.2022 I have been very quiet on this page because due to COVID restrictions I have not been able to shoot. I am very happy to say that I have been in contact with Business Vic and now know where I stand when it comes to when I will be able to shoot!

There will be two options to choose from, a beautiful garden setting in Clyde or a stunning beach location in Carrum. Mini sessions are a perfect way to update your family photos, document children who missed out on newborn photos during the lock down as well as making awesome presents for family.
