Capturing moments you'll treasure for a lifetime
Welcoming your new baby into the world is the most incredible, emotional and beautiful moment in life but those early days are over in the blink of an eye, which is why capturing it through newborn photography is so important.
As a mum of two, as well as a newborn photographer with over 7 years experience, I know how quickly those early days pass. My aim is to help you hold on to the memory of them — to preserve every precious detail and feeling, before baby grows and changes.
If you’re looking to book a newborn photoshoot in Dubai, I’d love to help you capture this magical chapter of your life.
I offer three different styles of newborn photography. A natural, family centred lifestyle session; a posed studio style session; and a fresh48 session.
This style of newborn photography aims to capture
authentic, natural moments of genuine love and connection within your family, as well as beautiful individual photos of baby and all their tiny little features. Taking place in the comfort and convenience of your own home using natural light, no props and minimal posing, these sessions are a calm and enjoyable experience for both parents and baby. Sessions take between 60-90 minutes and can occur anytime in the first few months of life.
Capture beautifully posed portraits of your newborn with a studio style finish. Professional studio lighting, and a wide range of fabrics and outfits in a range of colours ensure you can achieve the artistic feel of a studio photoshoot without leaving your own home.
Posed photoshoots take between 2 to 4 hours, which allows the session to be completely baby led. The ideal age for a posed newborn shoot is 4-14 days, when babies are naturally sleepier and curled up.
Taken in the first day or two of baby's life (usually in the hospital room), this photoshoot captures baby's earliest moments and the raw, pure, overwhelming love and connection between baby and the new parents. Completely natural, authentic and heartfelt - you will treasure these memories for a lifetime.

"I'm so pleased we chose Carlene to do our baby's photoshoot. She made everything so easy and stress-free. She was really good with my toddler who was a little uncooperative at first and she was like a 'baby-whisperer' with the little one (and even managed to get the dogs involved too which I didn't think would be possible). Our photos are stunning and we couldn't be happier. Highly recommend."

"As a first time mum, having Carlene as our fresh48 photographer was a dream. She was patient, accommodating my baby’s and my mood. She spent a lot of time setting up beautiful shots that our family will treasure forever. She also ensured all our pictures were delivered on time - we are so grateful! We can’t recommend her enough!"
