Did you know I am BANPAS member?

I’m so excited to share this news with you! From today I’m officially a member of Banpas as a newborn photographer London

BANPAS stands for Baby and Newborn Photography Association.

If you are expecting  a little baby (many CONGRATULATIONS!!) I will suggest browsing through their website because there is a lot of useful information about finding a photographer, the right time to book, what you could expect from a photography session  . . . and more.

This association promotes safe working practices in newborn photography and is dedicated to ensuring that the baby’s comfort and safety take priority whilst the photographers create beautiful images for parents to treasure.

BANPAS members are amongst the leading baby and newborn photographers.

You have to submit a number of photographs to prove the quality of the work and also multiple photos used for composite images.

BANPAS really helps its photographers in the business by providing continuous training and seminars and I am proud of been a member of this association for the past 2 years. You can see my personal profile by clicking here.

What does this mean for you?

Well, you can rest assured that I will handle your little baby with all the care and knowledge I learnt through the years. Photographing babies requires several skills that go beyond photography itself.

I think finding the right photographer is really important. It’s an essential step towards building a strong rapport and achieving stunning photo results. I highly recommend sitting down for a coffee together before the session. It’s an excellent opportunity for us to connect on a personal level, fostering a sense of relaxation and comfort that truly shines during the actual shoot. You are welcome to visit my studio in Twickenham, West London, so you can see the environment and we can get to know each other.

    Moments like this are the gems in a session. They don’t always come.

But when they do, I’m ready.

No AI image could give you this. Maybe a fake photo, but without the lived experience, it’s just another pretty picture.

Dad saw the smile happen. Mum was watching them both. It was real, and it lasted only a few seconds.

The print is what lets you relive it forever

Not just a digital file, something tangible, after something real.

What’s a moment you wish you had a print of?

    I’m definitely not a poet. I’ve never called myself a writer.
I’m a photographer.

But these lines came out of me almost on their own during the breastfeeding project. As if they’d been waiting for a page.

This is the third and last part. 
Thank you for reading it with me. I hope you enjoyed it.

If you missed the other 2 parts check the previous reels.

    Part two of the poem I wrote while working on Milk Tales. If you missed part one, it’s on my page, or click on the reel.

It’s a raging storm,
and the calm sea at dusk.
It’s the sun that tempts you,
the rain that breaks you.

It’s burning fire
that stirs what words can’t say.
It’s a path of discovery,
lit in your own way.

A journey that strips you bare,
but clothes you in new grace.
Each drop of milk
a vow you won’t erase.

Third and last one coming soon. Don’t miss it.

Which line stayed with you?  #breastfeeding #breastfeedingjourney #poemsofinsta
    While I was working on my breastfeeding personal project a few years ago, a poem slowly grew in me, written in Italian. 

This is the translated version, which became part of Milk Tales, a book of photography and stories from 25 mothers, including my own. 

I never shared the poem publicly, until now. 
Part one of three. Follow for more.
    Nobody tells you that the last weeks of pregnancy are also the last weeks of being just you.

You’re not quite a mother, yet. But you’re not quite yourself anymore either. 

Somewhere in between, carrying a whole person you haven’t met.

This is the photo of the woman you were, right before. 

Before the sleepless nights. Before you start disappearing, just a little, into someone else’s story for a while.

If you’re in it right now, I’d love to capture it for you.
