Disney princesses transformed into the true Happily Ever After . . . Mums

During the weekend, while I was scrolling on my Facebook feed, I stopped when I saw the post of a Russian artist who imagined Disney princesses pregnant or as new mums.

My daughter was never really into the princesses. She liked Flouder more than Ariel. The Tiger more than Jasmine and the racoon more than Pocahontas. So I understood straight away she was into animals! Ha ha ha

Anyway, most girls love princesses and their magic world. And I loved this new vision of pregnancy and motherhood. I will share here some of my favourites.

Pregnant Pocahontas in the Nature

Love the complicity here. In my maternity photography, I always look for connection and emotions and this illustration was the first to catch my eye for this exact reason! It reminded me of what I look for and of course, the white dress is the final touch. Pure and simple. True beauty!

Sweet princess Cinderella as mum to be

Another illustration I like for the neutral tones and the sweetness between the couple. Casual and elegant at the same time!

Beautiful Belle holding her little girl

Love the bond between mother and daughter here. When I photograph my moms I can see the same lovingly eyes.

Ariel as mum-to be

Love the location here! And the happiness in their expression.

Pocahontas with her happy baby

I love this pose. It works great with mum or dad and the baby always have so much fun!

Snow White sweetness

Baby happy and comfortably swaddled in mum’s arms. Love it!

Disney Princess Aurora mum

Again here I love the natural location and the beautiful dress. Not a big fun of the head flowers but hey it’s Disney world!

I hope you enjoyed these illustrations! Surely a different view from what we grew up with, right?

The maternity journey into motherhood should be fully embraced and photographs of your bump and with your baby will always remind you of this amazing time of your life.

If you would like to have some beautiful memories of your pregnant belly I will be delighted to help you! Have a look at the maternity gallery and don’t hesitate to get in touch vale@photographybyvalentina.com.

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.

Want to chat about your family’s newborn session?

Let’s talk about what this could look like for you. DM me.

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!

What’s the funniest name your kids have called you? Come on let’s have a laugh in the comments

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.
If you need a soft space today, it’s waiting for you on Amazon.
