6 places to shoot newborn photos & videos in Perth
Matilda Bay Reserve
Roadside parking sits right at the reserve's edge, so a car seat and all its gear never has to travel far under the Norfolk pines. The lawns stay shaded and still most mornings, calm enough to settle in for a feed without the light or the wind doing much at all.
For newborn photos: a gentle, low-key setting for a first session.
Guildford Jacaranda Streets
Street parking runs the length of James Street, close enough to duck back to the car the moment a newborn needs settling. The purple canopy overhead keeps the morning sun soft rather than harsh, and a quiet stretch of footpath is easy to find away from passing foot traffic.
For newborn photos: a calm backdrop that keeps baby comfortable.
Whiteman Park
Large car parks sit beside the picnic lawns, so unloading a newborn and a full bag of supplies is a short carry rather than a hike. Bushland shade holds a gentle warmth through the morning, and a picnic table is usually free nearby if a break comes up mid session.
For newborn photos: an intimate spot for those first-week frames.
Araluen Botanic Park
On-site parking puts the lower terraced gardens within easy reach, useful when a newborn's patience runs shorter than the walk to a further off backdrop. The valley stays sheltered and warm even on a cooler morning, and its quiet corners make it easy to step aside for a feed.
For newborn photos: somewhere warm and sheltered enough for a tiny subject.
Hyde Park
Free street parking rings the park, so getting a newborn from the car to the lakeside lawns takes only a minute or two. Moreton Bay figs and plane trees hold a still, warm pocket of shade below them, private enough to settle a fussy baby without an audience.
For newborn photos: quiet surroundings that will not startle a sleeping newborn.
Queens Gardens
This is a small enough garden that the car is never more than a short stroll away if a newborn needs the shade of its own capsule. The figs overhead keep it warm and windless most mornings, and the quiet footbridges offer somewhere private to stop for a feed.
For newborn photos: short access from the car with a pram.

Shooting newborn photos in Perth
It depends on the spot. Public streets and sidewalks usually don't, while many parks, gardens, and landmarks require a permit for professional sessions. Each location above notes what we found on permits — confirm the current rules and any fee with the venue or city before you book.
Golden hour — the hour after sunrise or before sunset — flatters almost every location, and each spot above lists the light that works best there. Early morning also means thinner crowds at the popular ones.
Snappr pricing is flat and set before you book, with no travel or editing surprises. Most sessions run one to two hours; you can see current rates and what each tier includes on the pricing page.
Pick your date and shoot type and we match you with a vetted local photographer who shoots in Perth. Booking takes a couple of minutes, and you can reschedule for free if plans change.
