Welcoming Baby Leon – A Special Family Moment

You know you're getting older when you become a great aunty! And what an incredible honour that is.

This past Good Friday was extra special for our family. My nephew Hayden became a dad for the very first time, welcoming his beautiful baby boy, Leon Andrew, into the world. What made it even more meaningful was that little Leon shares the middle name Andrew—a tribute to my late brother. That gesture touched all of us deeply.

Leon arrived earthside at around 6lbs—so tiny and perfect. His mum, Kiara, has stepped into motherhood so gracefully. Watching her care for her little one with such calm confidence was beautiful to witness. She’s truly taken to it like a duck to water.

I had the absolute honour of photographing their newborn session, and Leon was an angel—he slept peacefully the entire time, allowing me to capture so many tender moments and precious memories. These are the sessions that fill my heart the most. Not only was I able to document the beginning of a brand new life, but I was also surrounded by the warmth of family, love, and legacy.

This session will forever hold a special place in my heart—not just because of the images, but because of what they represent. New beginnings, deep roots, and the enduring bond of family.

Welcome to the world, little Leon. You are already so loved. 💙

Chris and Bianca brought their beautiful baby girl Demi into the studio recently, and what a special session it was. They asked for skin-to-skin photos—something I absolutely love to shoot. There’s something incredibly raw, honest, and beautiful about capturing that early connection between parents and their newborn.

Demi was an absolute dream. She slept peacefully and let us move through the session with ease, allowing me to focus on the emotion, intimacy, and love these two share with their little girl.

What made this session even more special was the trust Chris and Bianca gave me. They allowed complete creative freedom, which is where I thrive—and I’m so proud of what we created together. These are the kinds of sessions that stay with me for a long time. 💕

Meet Baby Isabella — a tiny bundle of pure joy who recently visited the studio for her newborn session. From the moment she arrived, Isabella was an absolute dream to photograph. Her peaceful presence and gentle spirit brought such a calm to the session, making every moment truly special.

At Ali Jones Photography, it’s about more than just taking photos — it’s about capturing those fleeting early days with artistry and care. Isabella’s session was the perfect reflection of that purpose. With her soft features and sleepy charm, we created a collection of images that honour the innocence and beauty of new life.

It’s sessions like these that remind me why I do what I do. Congratulations to Isabella’s beautiful family — may these images be cherished for generations to come. 💗

Yesterday evening, I met with the gorgeous Kirra and Dave, who are expecting their first baby in mid-December! We spent a relaxed and joy-filled afternoon capturing Kirra’s beautiful bump, surrounded by golden light and a whole lot of laughter. Their connection, their anticipation—it was so special to witness and document.

I’m already counting down the weeks until I get to meet and photograph their precious little one.

Whether it’s in the studio or out under the wide open sky, I’m so grateful for every family that invites me to be part of their journey.
