to McLelland Photography, an award-winning professional studio that specializes in photography sessions with newborns from Oakville, Toronto, Burlington, Milton, Brampton, Hamilton, Mississauga, and the surrounding area of the GTA.
Thank you everyone for visiting my newborn photography studio! I am the founder of McLelland Photography, which I began 8 years ago in my hometown of Oakville, Ontario after I left the corporate world to pursue photography full-time.
Since then, I have photographed over 1700 babies, and I've become known as the 'Baby Whisperer' to my clients! I have a talent for helping babies feel at ease during our sessions together.
I have grown my establishment over the years to become a very experienced and well-known studio in Oakville. My specialty is photographing newborns and I see clients from far and wide, even those willing to travel for hours to have their little one photographed in my studio.

Our newborn photography sessions are for babies from 3 days to under 6 weeks of age.

We recommend booking your baby's session early in your 2nd trimester to avoid disappointment as we offer a limited number of sessions each month. Please book 2 to 3 weeks after your due date or if scheduled for a c-section, please select a date when your newborn will be under 6 weeks of age. We do have some last-minute openings from time to time, if you have not booked already, please feel free to reach out to us to see if we have anything last minute available. We keep our calendar up to date for availability on the website too which you can find HERE after clicking on one of the BOOK NOW buttons.

That's ok! Please contact us if you are delivering early or late and we can discuss any opportunities for possible schedule changes.

Our photographer, Tricia is the first photographer in Oakville to be part of the Accredited Professional Newborn Photographers International (APNPI). This means she has undertaken a course to ensure she is fully qualified to pose newborns safely.
McLelland Photography is known for safety even prior to the pandemic. Both Tricia and our Studio Manager, Anita still wear face masks for all their sessions. They also have high end air filters in every room in the studio too. And all items and props that are used for a session are fully cleaned and sanitized after every use.
All clients that visit the studio which is located in the basement of Tricia's home, are also required to fill out a COVID-19 Agreement prior to arrival and if anyone (including Tricia and Anita) is sick/ill, discussions will begin to reschedule your session right away.
