Why do you need Mummy and Me Photos now?

The bond between a mother and her child is the only real and purest bond in the world, the only true love we can ever find in our lifetime.”

Ama H. V.

Nothing is more true than this quote and you really don’t understand it until you are a mum.

But unfortunately, we are always behind the camera. We take so many photos of our children, every occasion, every milestone, birthday, special events, the first day of school . . . but how many times are we in the photos with them?

Don’t worry, I hear you because I’m a mum too! I’m the one who takes most of the photos of my daughter (well, nowadays I feel more like a paparazzi as I have to snap while she is not spotting me) and rarely is in with her! 

Why you need a mummy and me session.

Our children are growing so fast and if we are always behind the camera what will they find one day? They are left with no photos of you, the most important person in their life, the person who was always there for them. The one comforting them. The one who was always believing in them. The one who protected them . . .

I think we deserve to have beautiful photos of us with our children. We deserve to have them for us and one day for them. We are living in a particular moment right now, we survived 2 years of a horrible virus that killed many people and now a stupid war is causing even more pain and suffering. Never like the past few years, I realised how precious life is. We might take for granted some moments we have every day, but actually, they are so valuable!

This year my mission is to have more photos of me and especially more photos with my daughter and as a family. And here am I to remind you the same.

That’s why Mother’s Day Mini Sessions are not only perfect to have a few images with your child/children but they will be a memorable experience. One of a kind where the focus is just on you and your children.

Mother’s Day Mini Sessions

I’m holding mini sessions on Saturday 26th March 2022.

Now is just the perfect time! Whether you are expecting your first baby or you come with 3 children and your mum!

Don’t miss this unique opportunity. This mummy and me session is just for you!

They are short and sweet – so no excuses to take up much of the day.

It makes a great gift for any mum!

You will have a fun time with your child/children and I will capture those natural interactions and emotions between you.

Do you want the details?

The mini session is £195. It will be 30 minutes and you will receive 5 digital images of your choice.

Newborn sessions with siblings, especially toddlers, can be unpredictable.
Some days they are all in. Other days they aren’t. And that’s okay.

This big sister wasn’t very keen on being in the photos. So instead of forcing it, I gave her a different role. 
She became my assistant. 
She helped me photograph her baby brother and her parents.
Suddenly, she felt special. She was part of the process. And Mum still got the beautiful family photos she wanted.

I find that involving toddlers and giving them a job to do works magic. 
It shifts their energy from resistance to collaboration. 
Everyone feels seen. Everyone gets their moment.

This is what 15 years of experience looks like. Knowing when to adapt. Knowing how to make it work for every member of the family.

If you’re expecting a second baby and worried about how your toddler will handle a newborn session, don’t be. 

We’ll find a way to include them that feels right for everyone.

Through motherhood, we go through job titles quicker than in an entire career 

I personally went from 
Mamma → Mummy → Mum → Vale…
and now I’m just Bruh or Buddy. 🙈

They grow up fast and one day they won’t even want to be in the photo!

So let’s make the most of these Mummy years!

This is what happens when you book a newborn session with me.

You come to my studio. Maybe you’re tired. Maybe you’re overwhelmed. Maybe you’re wondering if this is worth it. Maybe all of the above!

You arrive, I welcome you in, offer you tea, and we slow down.
I guide you gently through everything, so you can just be present with your baby.

I capture the tiny details. The yawns. The way your family looks at this new little person. The love that’s already there.

And then picture this! A few weeks later, something arrives at your door.

Not just digital files. Not just photos on a screen.

But a beautiful album, designed for you, ready to hold and show your child one day.

That’s the difference between a photo session and what I create. 

It’s not just about capturing moments. It’s about preserving them in a way that lasts.

Your newborn days are fleeting. 
But this? This stays forever.

Ready to create your family’s heirloom?

Today is World Mental Health Day, and I want to say this gently: you don’t have to have it all together to be worthy of care, love, or rest.

Motherhood, creativity, business. They all carry invisible weights sometimes. 
It’s okay to set them down for a moment. 
It’s okay to just be.

There’s real courage in that stillness.

PS.  If this resonates, you might find comfort in my book Milk Tales. A collection of stories about the emotional side of motherhood, and the courage it takes to be honest about how we really feel.
