Tell Your Family’s Story with Emotive and Timeless Newborn Photography and Authentic Motherhood & Family Sessions

Capturing the Beauty of Everyday Moments

Welcome to Nina Schultz Photography. From the sleepy stillness of your newborn’s first days to the joyful chaos of toddlers at play, every season of parenthood holds something worth remembering. Based in Littlehampton in the Adelaide Hills, I specialise in natural newborn photography, emotive maternity portraits, and candid baby & family sessions that celebrate the beautiful mess of real life.

My photography style is soft, relaxed, and baby-led —focused on connection over perfection. Whether we’re creating timeless images in my warm, welcoming studio or chasing giggles outdoors in a documentary-style session, every photo is crafted with heart.

I’m here to help you preserve not just how it looked, but how it felt: the warmth of your baby on your chest, the joy in your toddler’s laughter, the love that holds your family together.

Milestone Photography – Celebrate the Big (and Small) Moments of Baby’s First Year

Your baby grows so quickly in their first year. Each new expression, tiny tooth, and wobbly sit is a moment worth remembering. My milestone photography sessions are a joyful way to capture these changes, whether it’s your baby’s first smiles, first sitting, or a playful cake smash to celebrate their first birthday.

Held in my cozy Littlehampton studio, milestone sessions are relaxed, fun, and baby-led—perfect for documenting personality, curiosity, and connection. These sessions are ideal at 6–9 months and again around 12 months, offering a beautiful visual story of your baby’s incredible first year.

Newborn Photography – Gentle, Natural Moments in Your Baby’s First Days

Those first sleepy days pass in a blur. Let’s pause time, just for a moment. My newborn photography sessions are baby-led, calm, and full of love, capturing your little one just as they are in those early weeks. Held in my cozy Littlehampton studio or your home, every photo is timeless, honest, and deeply personal.

Motherhood Portraits – The Love You Share, Just as You Are

Motherhood isn’t always polished, but it is always beautiful. These sessions focus on the tender in-between moments: soft cuddles, gentle play, quiet glances. Whether your baby is days old or just starting to walk, motherhood photography honours your story in a raw, natural way.

Maternity Photography – Celebrate the Beauty of Motherhood

Pregnancy is fleeting, but the transformation it brings is powerful. My maternity photography sessions are relaxed and soulful, capturing your glow, strength, and the quiet connection between you and your growing baby. We’ll shoot in my cozy studio in Littlehampton, Adelaide Hills or somewhere that feels meaningful to you.

From giggles in the grass to muddy fingers and wild imagination, these documentary-style family sessions are perfect for toddlers and young children. We’ll head outdoors and simply let them play, capturing joy, chaos, and connection in its purest form. Real life, beautifully told.
