VERY IMAGE REPRESENTS
A Feeling, A Thought, A Fleeting Moment
Each One is a Reminder that Time Moves Fast - But Memories Don’t Have To
In the blink of an eye, the newborn stretch becomes a toddler run, the gummy smile becomes a cheeky grin. It’s a quiet reminder of how fleeting time truly is - and how a single image can hold an entire chapter of your story. These photographs aren’t just pictures… they’re time preserved, emotions remembered, and love made visible.

👶 Newborn Photography Sessions
To guarantee availability, it’s best to book your Newborn Session during pregnancy.
• Newborns are ideally photographed within the first three weeks after birth - when they’re sleepier, curlier, and easier to pose.
• Capturing them during this window allows us to create those beautiful, timeless images you’ll treasure forever.
🤰 Maternity Photography Sessions
Maternity sessions are best scheduled between 28–34 weeks of pregnancy - when your belly is beautifully round, but you’re still feeling comfortable and radiant. Booking early not only secures your ideal date but also gives us time to plan any special looks, themes, or studio setups you have in mind.
🎈 Baby Photography Sessions
Our Baby Sessions are perfect for celebrating milestones like tummy time, sitting unassisted, and those first big smiles.
Because these moments pass quickly, we recommend booking 1–2 months in advance to ensure you capture them at just the right stage.
🎂 Cake Smash Photography Sessions
Celebrate your baby’s first birthday (or even beyond!) with a fun and memorable Cake Smash Session.
We suggest booking at least 6–8 weeks in advance to allow plenty of time for planning your chosen theme, props, and custom cake design
👨👩👧👦 Kids & Family Photography Sessions
Our Kids & Family Sessions are designed to capture genuine connection, natural laughter, and the beautiful chaos that makes your family unique. Whether you’re updating your family portraits or celebrating a special milestone, these sessions are relaxed, playful, and full of heart.
Sessions are held in our private Clyde studio. I do not do Outdoor Sessions or On Location Shoots. We recommend booking 4–6 weeks in advance to secure your preferred date and allow time to plan outfits and styling.

I’m Alana!
Hi..
Newborn Baby Whispher
Hey there, I’m Alana – Baby Whisperer, Cake-Smash Wrangler, and Your Go-To Photographer for All Things Tiny, Squishy, and Occasionally Covered in Frosting or Baby Poop!
With over 15 years of experience (and a background in nannying and child education across Australia and the UK), I’ve built a career around capturing the chaos, cuddles and cheeky grins that make childhood magical.
Based in Clyde, Melbourne, my purpose-built home studio is a warm, welcoming space where your little one can feel completely at ease — whether they’re snoozing, smirking, or smearing cake everywhere. I’m professionally trained in newborn safety and posing, fully registered, vaccinated, and possibly fuelled by coffee and baby giggles.
When you book a session with Alana Taylor Photography, you’re not just getting beautiful photos — you’re getting a relaxed, caring experience with someone who truly gets kids (and has probably caught every kind of bodily fluid on camera).
THE PHOTOGRAPHER
Alana Taylor
Alana Taylor Photography is a Professional Home Photography Studio specialising in Newborn, Baby, and Smash Cake First Birthday Photography. My warm and inviting studio has welcomed families from all over Melbourne who trust me to capture their most cherished memories with care, creativity, and over 15 years of experience.

TESTIMONIALS
Brianna Trainor
“Alana is a talented photographer who captured our family and newborn daughter’s photos. Alana and her assistant Katrina were warm, welcoming and professional, and we felt very comfortable in her studio from start to finish. The finished photos are beyond beautiful and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience overall. Highly recommend choosing Alana Taylor Photography for all your newborn and family photos!"
Steven Ula
“My wife and I had a great experience with our son’s first ever photoshoot from the help of Alana and her assistant. They were very welcoming and friendly and even though our 1 year old was a bit clingy and shy they managed to entertain him with a lot of laughter and love. Also very well prepared and a lot of toys to keep our little one occupied. Would recommend Alana as a photographer with any of my children, as she is very gentle and great with kids!"
Manna Lincoln
“We had the best experience with Alana! The entire shoot was a delight and Alana bought out the best in our little one, she kept our baby engaged and smiling for the whole 1 hour - which is a skill on its own! She had a huge selection of outfits, headbands, props, backgrounds and ideas ready to go, so time was very efficiently used. The photos turned out amazing! we are in awe of her work and cannot thank you enough Alana and looking forward to the next milestone shoot."
Calypso Barnes
“I had an amazing experience with Alana Taylor! She and her assistant were so gentle and patient with my newborn, making sure he was comfortable and settled throughout the entire session. They worked wonders getting him to sleep, allowing for the most beautiful shots. I couldn’t be happier how she captured my precious moments. Highly recommend Alana for anyone looking for a professional, caring, and talented newborn photographer!"
Caroline Rizk
“Such a great experience with Alana! From start to finish, everything was super smooth and clear. Alana was quick to respond to my emails and made sure I knew exactly what was needed from me and my baby.
On the day of the photoshoot, Alana was incredibly friendly and cheerful, which made my baby feel right at home. The studio was cozy and spotless. I’d definitely recommend Alana Photography to all my friends and family!"
