My Process: A Photoshoot with Susan Bradfield Photography
Connect with me — Please reach out to me by:
phone: 0409015598 or email: susanbradfieldphoto@gmail.com
You can ask any questions you may have about your newborn photoshoot, maternity photoshoot, baby or family photography session. I will share my process and also pricing options where I have options for most budgets.
We can then book in a date for your session.
Let’s Plan your session — On the phone, we will discuss styling, colour palettes, baby preparation (if a newborn photography session) and the flow of your family so everything feels effortless on the day. I can get to know your vision and preferences and that way, I’m fully prepared before you walk through the door.
Your photography session — Relax into a calm, guided and joyful shoot either outdoors or in my Brighton studio (dependent on your photo session) designed to bring out the best in everyone. Everything is set up to ensure your photography session is calm, personal, and tailored to you and your family. During the shoot, I’ll guide you so we capture both candid and natural looking posed imagery.
Studio viewing — A few weeks later I will invite you to return to the studio where I’ll help you select the images from your curated gallery. You can select the ones you love most to form your package.
Final delivery — I take away your selection and edit your images. You will then receive your fully polished and edited digital images, and any printed or framed products you have chosen will be delivered directly to you.
Let’s Capture These Memories Together
Whether you're capturing new milestones with a pregnancy photoshoot, newborn photoshoot, or baby photoshoot, or simply wanting to preserve memories with a family photography shoot, I’d be honoured to help you create beautiful, lasting memories.

Your Photography Session Questions, Answered
-
You’re not alone — almost everyone tells me this. The good news is you don’t have to do anything except show up. I’ll guide you into relaxed, flattering positions and keep things moving so you never feel stuck or “on display”. Most people are surprised by how easy and even enjoyable it feels once we get started.
-
For newborn babies, I hold sessions in my Brighton-based studio. However, as children get a little older and for families, you can choose between my Brighton studio or an outdoor location within 12 km of Hampton. Before the session, we will discuss your preferences and what’s best for your family’s age, routine, and comfort.
-
No matter what type of shoot you are booking, I will guide you about this, as it is definitely worth investing time thinking this through for best results. I suggest simple, neutral outfits that are comfortable and timeless. Let’s chat about this in detail when you book.

This is session dependent. Maternity, family and older baby shoots are approx 60-90 mins, Newborn sessions are baby'-led and tend to take 2-3 hours. My sessions are never run to the clock, unless sunset or sunrise are involved! Then I have no choice but to be guided by the best outdoor light.

These moments deserve to be printed with care, using materials that stand the test of time. At Susan Bradfield Photography, we partner with expert print labs to deliver fine art prints on archival-grade papers, canvas, aluminium, or acrylic.
This means no over-saturation or colour changes in your prints – and no colour fading with time – so your prints will literally last for your grandchildren to see and touch. Please read here for more information about prints.
