It is now very popular to document the very early days of a baby. Parents want to remember those little toes and fingers, the cute little nose, the beautiful chubby cheeks . . . and the priceless memory of holding that tiny baby and gently kissing him.

They do grow very quickly, really! And you only realise it when you are a parent

Newborn photography is a trend now.

So parents want those cute images, but most of the time they don’t know how a photo session works or what they can expect. On Photography by Valentina, I try to cover the basics, like when to book, where I take the photos, how long the session lasts, and what happens next. Then I normally have a chat on the phone or, most of the time, I meet my client before the session, usually when mum is still pregnant. This way I can explain what will happen, they can ask questions if they have any doubts and I can give them a beautiful little brochure with the information needed.

In this little booklet, you can learn why you should have beautiful professional photos of your baby. You will read a bit about the experience you have when you come to me: from finding a little breakfast and knowing it will be very warm in the room to relaxing and being assured your baby will be taken care of.  A few testimonials to learn what other parents experienced. The planning before, during and after the session.  And as you can see from the image above how you can display your beautiful images.

One of the best parts of my work is seeing the photos printed. I offer a range of photography products that I am proud of. Why would you invest in photography if then you don’t print and see them?

I love the albums, where you can go back at any time and review the story of your baby. I love seeing a wall of memories: a nursery or a living room with a big canvas or a frame! It will boost your child’s self-esteem so much while growing.

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!

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.
