Thank You for Your Interest in Captured by Elly Photography
Hi, I’m Elena – a fine art photographer specialising in maternity, newborn, and family portraiture. My cosy natural-light studio is based in Abbotsford, NSW 2046, where I photograph newborns and some maternity sessions. Most family and outdoor maternity sessions take place in beautiful natural settings around Sydney.
Photography has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. I’ve always been drawn to capturing meaningful moments—those fleeting details that pass all too quickly. In 2015, I began specialising in newborn photography, and it’s been my mission ever since to preserve precious memories for families to treasure for generations.
I would be honoured to photograph you and your growing family.
Qualifications & Training
As I transitioned into newborn photography, I knew that working with tiny babies required not only creativity but also the utmost care and responsibility. To ensure the highest standards of safety and quality, I’ve invested in extensive training, including mentoring with one of the industry’s leading newborn photographers, Erin Elizabeth. I’ve also completed multiple courses in lifestyle family photography to refine my skills and offer a relaxed, emotive experience for every family I work with.

My favourite things in the world are:
- my son Daniel;
- my family;
- photography;
- dogs;
- chocolate ice -cream;
- running;
- books;
- beaches;
- baby smell LOL;
- Game of Thrones :)


Newborn Photography Studio – Captured by Elly, Abbotsford
Welcome to my cosy home studio in Abbotsford, designed specifically for newborn and family photography. The space is filled with natural light and styled with a beautiful collection of wraps, blankets, baskets, bowls, and beds.
My style is natural and organic, using neutral tones with the option to include a touch of colour if you’d like something a little different.
Newborn sessions run for 1–3 hours, depending on your package and how your baby is on the day. There’s plenty of time for feeding, cuddles, and settling—no rush, just a relaxed experience.
Sibling and family photos are more than welcome and are usually taken at the start of the session, so older children can head out for a break while we focus on baby.



Already had your newborn baby? No problem reach out, last minute bookings are always welcome and available 🐣 #newbornphotographersydney #babyphotossydney
Besties forever ❤️❤️❤️ #sydneynewbornphotography
🤍 Your pregnancy deserves to be remembered.
A little reminder to all the beautiful mums-to-be: don’t leave booking your maternity photoshoot until the very last minute!
I recommend booking your session during your second trimester, with the ideal time for maternity photography being between 30 and 36 weeks of pregnancy. This is when your beautiful bump is usually showing, while you’re hopefully still feeling comfortable enough to enjoy your session.
But if you’re already past 36 weeks, don’t worry! I occasionally have last-minute availability, and as long as you’re feeling comfortable, we can still capture some beautiful memories.
Pregnancy is such a short chapter of your life, and one day, these photographs will mean even more than they do today. Don’t keep putting it off. 🤍
