We often think of kindness as something we give to others, but it also lives quietly in the spaces between us, in patience, in listening, in how we see one another.
Every time I photograph someone, I’m reminded how powerful kindness can be.
A gentle word, a reassuring smile, or simply making someone feel seen can change the whole energy of a moment.
This World Kindness Day, let’s remember that kindness doesn’t have to be loud or grand. Sometimes it’s in the way we speak to ourselves. Sometimes it’s in the way we see another person, really see them.
Be gentle, with yourself and with others. It matters more than you know.

In a world where so much feels filtered, polished, or even AI-generated, I just want to be real.
▪️I still get nervous before shoots, even after hundreds of sessions. Every client is different, and that matters to me.
▪️I might do a small dance (or throw my arms in the air) when you book a session, because it means you’ve chosen me to tell your story.
▪️I can feel really low when bookings slow down, and yes, I get anxious when the inbox is quiet.
▪️Most days, I edit in joggers, wrapped in a blanket, with chocolate or biscuits within reach.
▪️If you don’t reply after a session, I do worry. We’ve shared such a special connection, and when I don’t hear back, my brain instantly assumes something’s wrong.
▪️I pour everything into every session so you can have the best experience possible. I feel exhausted afterwards but I know you leave feeling amazing.
▪️And yes, I’ll admit, it stings a little when you share your photos without tagging me. Because every image has a piece of my heart in it.
Photography is emotional, messy, and sometimes exhausting but it’s also so magic and rewarding.
What’s your truth? I know I’m not the only one who feels like this. Can any fellow mums or business owners relate?

You won’t find props or baskets here, just softness, light, and connection.
I believe your baby is already enough, exactly as they are.
Every sigh, stretch, and tiny breath tells the story of who they’re becoming and who you already are.
If that’s the kind of session you’ve been searching for, let’s chat.
We’re definitely speaking the same language.

Telling stories through the tiniest details, because sometimes, the smallest things make the memory feel even bigger.
Every curve, every eyelash, every line on their tiny hands, these are the moments you’ll want to remember.
I love taking macro shots during my newborn shoots.
They’re the parts you don’t always see, but feel the most.
The things your phone can’t quite hold. They’re what make an image breathe… and feel alive.
What’s your favourite newborn detail?
Mine are the lips, the curves and little volumes that are just so kissable.

Sometimes, the mirror doesn’t tell the full story, but a photograph can.
It’s not about changing how you look.
It’s about seeing yourself differently.
Every woman deserves to feel seen, not for who the world expects her to be, but for who she truly is.

“Your motherhood will outlive you and live inside your children forever.”
This quote stopped me.
It made me think about how everything we are, our words, our moods, our love, stays with them long after the moment has passed.
Just like a photograph, motherhood captures fragments of who we are and preserves them in our children.
So if our love is the legacy we leave behind, maybe caring for ourselves is part of that legacy too.
When we’re gentle with ourselves, we teach them to do the same.
That’s how the best parts of us live on. Tag a mum who need to hear this.
