Vanilla Images

Created by Melbourne photographer Karen Pike, the studio is a light, bright and cosy dedicated newborn and baby photography space.

With over 25 years of experience and a mother herself, Karen knows just how busy those early baby and childhood years are. So, she has created a seamless experience for you.

The studio’s aim is for you to get beautiful imagery of your family up around your home effortlessly.

Studies have shown how important this is to children in their developmental years, as it improves their sense of belonging and being. As parents too we want to remember every moment of our children’s childhood. So, in our opinion, keeping your memories alive to relive for a lifetime, should be easy.

To make this process seamless, the studio is with you every step of the way from your initial planning all the way through to helping you design a beautiful way to display your images.

This process ensures that your session is catered to your family’s personalities and tastes. We want the imagery to be not only a beautiful representation of you and your family’s personality and connection. But also, aesthetically something that you will love and enjoy looking at every day.

The studio boasts a large variety of display options, and all of these options are a mix of print and digital. Whether you are after something small or something bigger for the wall, this mix means that you can enjoy and share your imagery for your short-term wants and needs, but also have something created that you can display to enjoy and pass onto your child later in life.

Every Vanilla Images session is a family photography session at heart, and all sessions include family photos. Our newborn photography and baby photography sessions in addition to this focus on the milestones your little ones are at during those windows.

They are a real snapshot of this point of time in your life. All of the details are captured: your baby’s cute tiny toes; your toddler’s cheeky grin; Hugs with Mum and Dad; and you can even bring the family pet too!

Sessions are a mix of candid moments and more formal posed photos. So, you still get those beautiful looking at the camera images as well.
