Layla & Chris - Baby Airlie |HUNTER VALLEY & NEWCASTLE PHOTOGRAPHER

✨ Over the weekend I had the absolute privilege of witnessing something incredibly special for two of my beautiful clients.

I first met Layla during her maternity session, then had the joy of photographing her and Chris again for their newborn session. Like so many of my clients, we instantly clicked, and over time they’ve become more like family to me. 💕

This time, Chris reached out with a secret—he wanted me to capture his proposal to Layla! She had no idea what was coming, which made the moment even more magical.

time for an introduction! | Hunter Valley & newcastle photographer

🌟 Hey there! I’m Ali — the face behind Ali Jones Photography! 🌟

It’s been a little while since I introduced myself, so here goes…

I’ve been a photographer for over 18 years now, specialising in Maternity, Newborn & Family Photography, and honestly — I LOVE what I do! I'm a creative soul, and I thrive when I’m in my element: planning, shooting, editing, and delivering beautiful, heartfelt images.

I believe so strongly in capturing real moments — connection, emotion, laughter, the chaos, the love, even the tears and tantrums. Life isn’t perfect, but love is. And I’m all about helping families exist in photos — because these are the memories our kids will hold onto forever.

A little about me: I’m a tad cuddly, there are no filters here, and what you see is what you get! I pride myself on being my true, authentic self — relaxed, down to earth, and maybe a little cheeky too 😄

I’m a mum to three gorgeous kids: Luke (20), Ben (12), and Miss Evie (almost 3), and I have a super supportive hubby who (mostly) goes along with all my crazy creative ideas. 😂

If you're after a photographer who’ll make you feel totally comfortable, keep things fun, and capture the love in all its real, raw beauty — I’d truly love to work with you!

Let’s tell your story 💛

Layla & Chris Maternity Session | Hunter Valley & Newcastle Photographer

This afternoon I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Layla and Chris for their maternity session.

The weather was beautifully sunny, and the light matched the warmth and excitement these two radiate. We shared some lovely moments, and I can’t wait to meet their much-longed-for little one in just a few short weeks.

It’s such a joy to capture this special season for them!

Mumma & Me Session | Hunter valley & newcastle photographer

Jessie was my very first maternity session after relocating to the beautiful Hunter Valley — and we clicked right away! So it was such a joy to welcome her back into the studio with little Eliana at 7 weeks old. We took the opportunity to capture some sweet “Mumma & Me” moments, and I just adore how special these images turned out.

Did you know I offer dedicated Mumma & Me sessions for just $250? These sessions include 10 high-resolution images and are the perfect way to document those fleeting milestones — without breaking the budget. Whether your bub is 6 weeks or 6 months, these sessions are all about celebrating the love, connection, and magic of motherhood.

Reach out if you’d love to book one of your own — I’d be honoured to help you create memories that last a lifetime. 💛
