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.

Meet some of the Family | Ali jones Photography
We explored one of our gorgeous new locations and captured the cheeky giggles, cuddles, and windblown hair (thanks, nature!). It was pure joy to watch them together — so natural, so full of love.
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 💛

Baby Josie | Hunter valley & newcastle newborn photographer
I photograph newborns generally anywhere from 8-21 days however, newborns are ideally photographed under 2 weeks old—typically between 8 to 14 days—for several important reasons:
Sleepy and Curled Up: During the first two weeks, babies are sleepier and more likely to stay in those curled-up, womb-like poses that define classic newborn photography. This makes it easier to capture peaceful, cozy images.
Flexible and Pliable: Newborns are naturally more flexible in their early days, which allows for safe and comfortable posing that might not be possible even a few weeks later.
Fewer Skin Issues: Around the 2-week mark, babies often begin to develop baby acne, flaky skin, or colic. Photographing them earlier can help avoid these temporary conditions showing up in images.
Sleep Patterns: Very young newborns sleep more deeply and for longer stretches, making it easier to move and pose them without waking.
Capturing the Newborn Essence: That fresh, tiny, brand-new look fades quickly. Photographing babies within the first two weeks helps preserve that fleeting newborn stage in timeless images.
Scheduling a newborn session with Ali Jones Photography during this window ensures the most natural, serene, and beautiful images.
