Hello!

Hello and welcome to you beautiful parents and parents to be!  

“If you’re a laid-back family or mamma to be, looking for relaxed, love-filled photography and you want to remember every moment of this journey forever – and savour the moments you might miss, then I can’t wait to get to know you better.” 

I am so excited you are here and I feel so honoured you would even consider me to photograph such precious stories for you.

Tiny . Perfect . Miracles 

Being a mother myself, I know that becoming a mother and parent is the most powerful and mind-blowing experience in every way possible. From the minute you find out you are expecting, and even the months and sometimes years leading up to this moment, life as you know it changes and the journey begins. These are the most irreplaceable moments and stories of your lives together and nothing is more important than being present in them, soaking up each exciting and love filled moment and capturing these stories as they unfold. I also know first-hand, how guilty you can feel at times for missing these precious stories when life gets too busy and that’s why I’m here to do it for you! To take the pressure off, put the guilt to one side so you can relax and know these memories are photographed and there for you forever. 

It’s not just about the big stories, the traditional milestones and birthdays. For me it’s all about the tiny moments that happen each day, the tiny stories that unfold as part of your every day lives, right there and then. The moments that you soon forget as your little ones grow and develop and new stories begin. These are the stories, the tiny stories that I am here to help you preserve and keep alive in your hearts and memories, not just for now but for generations to come.  

What I Photograph…

From the size of your beautiful bump with your baby growing so lovingly inside of you, the love in your eyes when you hold your baby in your arms in those first few days. The powerful moments building your loving bond between you as you feed your baby and the mind-blowing way they look straight into your eyes with so much love, the joy of an afternoon nap snuggled into your neck after days of sleepless nights, the bath times, the hilarity of changing their nappies with the tiniest little bottoms and the moment your tiny baby’s fingers & toes grip around yours… 

… these are just a few of the thousands of tiny stories that I am here to help you keep alive in you forever. Not just as a memory, but as a permanent, visual reminder of how much love you have for them, right here, right now and how precious these stories are and always will be. 

An Investment that will last a lifetime

I cannot tell you how important these moments are and how quickly they fly past us, which is why I am so obsessed with documenting and telling your stories of these precious times and bottling them all up in the most beautiful, love filled images that will take you straight back to them in years to come.  

I have a couple of different sessions available, all of them are super easy to book below! 

All your stories are beautiful and if you have something specific in mind, please do drop me a message and I would love to hear how I can capture it for you.

We still have questions…

Great! Don’t worry at all, I’d be surprised if you didn’t!  

Please feel free to add any questions you have into the form above and I will also arrange a call so you can fire away in person, no obligation at all!  

Here is some extra information, which may help you until we speak

When should I book a maternity shoot? 

Bump/maternity sessions should be scheduled for around 32-36 weeks, or a little earlier if you are having twins. However, at some times of year I am booked a few months in advance, so I recommend calling me after your 20-week scan to book in. In the weeks leading up to your bump session we may adjust to a slightly earlier or later date if that suits you better. We are just striking a balance between waiting long enough so your bump is large, but not waiting so long that you are tired and uncomfortable, and baby is about to arrive! 

 

When should I book my new-born shoot? 

Timing is crucial with these tiny stories to create those sleepy, settled shots. You’re little one should ideally be between 7 to 14 days old for best results but don’t worry if you have left it late, we still have chance to create some magical shots with your baby awake. 

I recommend getting in contact after your 20-week scan. I only need your due date to get you booked in. 

Once you are booked in, I will schedule times for you around your due date. When your baby actually arrives (hooray!) just send me a text or give me a call at the time & I will get back to you with a few choices for your session. 

 

 

Where will you photograph us? 

I know as a mother myself, after being pregnant twice and nursing two new-borns that there is nothing more comforting than being in your own home, in your own space with everything you need around you 

What can I do to prepare? 

New-born shoots take up to an hour and a half, because baby’s needs take priority. We allow time for feeds, nappy changes and soothing baby without invading your space for too long (as I know how precious your alone time together is with all those endless visits!). 

For New-born Lifestyle Sessions we can be a bit more relaxed so baby will only be sleeping for some of the shots, because we are not aiming for that perfect portrait but a real authentic depiction of your new life together. Don’t worry about tidying up before I come to your house either, I really don’t expect parents of a new-born to have a pristine house. 

 

What if my baby is unsettled on the day of the shoot? 

Don’t worry! I have had two children of my own and I know how much time and patience is involved. If your little one is unsettled or decides they want a bottle during your shoot I am more than happy to take the time to do so. I always allow an extra half an hour for these moments and this gives us the opportunity to capture some beautiful candid shots whilst you are doing so. Babies don’t like staying still for too long or being out of their mother’s arms which is why I love lifestyle shoots. They are tailored to give you and your baby chance to be together though out, so don’t worry I will get some beautiful shots for you! 

 

Can you include siblings in my Photographs? 

A lifestyle shoot is a fantastic way to take the most beautiful images with any older siblings your baby may have (if this is not your first child) and provides the space and relaxing environment in which to do so. It is also a wonderful way to capture you all as a family without need for posing. Just you as you are, relaxed, happy in each other’s presence and in your own loving environment. 

 

When are the best times to book a Tiny Stories shoot? 

The different stages of development present us with a rich variety of opportunities, and it’s amazing the variety of images we can get of baby over the course of the first year. 

 

New-born – There is nothing more beautiful than your incredible new baby at the start of their life.  For new-born portraits, sessions must be done in the first 10 days of life 

 

Smiles – If you miss the new-born stage, a lovely alternative is a photo shoot at around 3 months of age when baby starts smiling. This is a similar session to a new-born lifestyle session, usually done in your home and capturing you and baby as a family. 

 

Sitting – When baby starts sitting up, at around 6-8 months old, is a magical time for portraits as baby will sit still and respond to mum and dad with wonderful giggles and smiles. It is important to try and time this stage carefully, so they are sitting but not yet crawling away! 

 

Walking – When your child starts walking, around 12 to 18 months of age, suddenly your journey through the toddler years has begun! We can have a lot of fun photographing them exploring the world and toddling along on their own, or holding hands with mum and dad
