Got to love squishy newborns

cassandra & Stefan with their NewBorn

There’s something so special about welcoming returning clients back into our Wonderstudio — and this newborn session with Cassandra and Stefan was one of those truly heart-warming days.

These two came to us for their maternity shoot not long ago, so seeing them again as brand-new parents felt extra meaningful. There’s nothing quite like witnessing that shift — the same connection and playfulness, now wrapped in the soft buzz of newborn life.

From the moment they arrived at our home studio in Kumeu, West Auckland, Cassandra and Stefan were relaxed, confident, and so easy to photograph. They took direction beautifully and flowed through the session with such natural grace. You could genuinely feel how much they adore each other, and how smitten they are with their little one.

Newborn shoots have this gentle rhythm — slow, cosy, calm — and the Wonderstudio is designed for exactly that. A warm space, natural tones, soft light… all the good things that help families settle in and just enjoy the moment.

Watching these two cuddle up, whisper to their baby, and share those proud, quiet smiles was everything we love about newborn photography. The images are filled with connection, softness, and that glowy first-weeks feeling you never get back again.

Why we love photographing newborns at the Wonderstudio
Our home studio in Kumeu is intentionally simple and cosy, letting the focus stay on your little family. It’s a relaxed environment where new parents can breathe, take their time and feel completely at ease. And when clients return for their newborn session after a maternity shoot — it’s genuinely the highest compliment.
