An intimate solo maternity session at home | Lauren Natalia Photography

March 24, 2024 Lauren Natalia

This was supposed to be a maternity session with both parents-to-be at the beach, but when Emi’s hubby had to head to France a few days before our planned shoot date, we decided we’d still do the session, just in case bub decided to arrive before we were able to reschedule (you never know what’s going to happen with babies!!) (We luckily did manage to fit in time to take those photos at the beach and I’ll be sure to link them when the post for that session is up).

So we decided to do a solo maternity session at home, and it resulted in these gorgeous photos! Isn’t she just so beautiful? 😍

All maternity sessions are special, but there is just something extra magical about maternity photos when it is your first baby.

I think because it’s freezing, in this moment, memories of who you are, and how life feels right now - before it changes completely. There is something so special about being able to look back at yourself and your bump and remember those feelings - the excitement, the anticipation, the nervousness about what’s to come, the feeling their kicks and waiting to meet them!

A relaxed newborn and family session by the river | Lauren Natalia Photography

I’m so happy to finally be sharing these photos from a really beautiful and relaxed newborn/family session down by the river. It was a typical, hot, Perth afternoon in late November , so we decided to start up in the park area under the trees and then headed down to the water a little later, where big sis had a lot of fun splashing around!

The Lifestyle Diaries - Flashback to Spring & The Perth Upmarket

May 23, 2020 Lauren Natalia

Hello hello :)

I’ve decided to start a new little series on the blog called “The Lifestyle Diaries” as a place to share the myriad of photos I have of the special times we have together as a family, and that don’t really warrant a “My Style Diary” type of post!

Hopefully while I’m documenting these times for myself (and stopping them from getting lost in the depths of my phone!) they can also give you a little inspiration too - whether it be for things to do or places to go!

Ideas For Planning A Classy Hen Party In Perth

Ideas For Planning A Classy Hen Party Laurennatalia.co.png

Today I’m excited to share a little peak into the hen party I threw for my bestie a few weeks ago! The bride-to-be, Emily, wasn’t keen on what you might traditionally think of when planning a bachelorette party (and to be honest, that’s not really my style either) so I decided to go with an elegant and classy picnic, with delicious food and some fun games!

It was such a lovely, relaxed afternoon and I think it turned out to be a big success (if I do say so myself! haha :p)

Enjoy the photos and if you happen to be planning a hen party, particularly one that’s more on the classy side, I hope this can give you some ideas and inspiration (no strippers of penis paraphernalia in sight!)

If you’re in Perth, I have some awesome recommendations for vendors to check out to help make your party planning super easy too, in case like me, you’re a little short on time!
