Your Kind words
Valentina, invited us to her beautiful home to create some amazing memories of my beautiful bubba. She has a wonderful warmth that my son took to immediately. Being first-time parents and having no clue to most things, she was very patient with me, in choosing the right package. It’s been on my to-do list to write this review but baby, nappy and life has taken over. I wouldn’t have it any other way. Valentina provided us with a beautiful loving experience, and the photos are just perfect in every way.
Xx thank you xx
I had a positive experience from beginning to end. From the initial contact to the end, Vale’s communication was great - she responded immediately and provided detailed information.
During the photoshoot, she was welcoming and made sure the room was cool as the weather was 39/40 degrees.
She did not rush us during the photoshoot whilst our LG was struggling with the weather.
The outcome of the photoshoot was great. We loved the pictures as they reflected our love for our LG.

I'm here to make your photography experience as enjoyable and memorable as possible.
Let's begin capturing your timeless moments together.
We had a first-class experience doing a newborn shoot with our twin girls. This was our second shoot with Valentina as she did our eldest’s newborn shoot in 2017 and we were very happy to book her again. Valentina was extremely calm, patient and professional and took some amazing pictures for us. She also managed to include our very busy toddler for some of the shoot and has produced a beautiful family album for us and the grandparents. Many happy memories. Thank you Valentina.

Preparing for your maternity session isn’t just about what to wear.
It’s about how you feel. It’s especially how you feel.
This moment of your life is full of change, physically, emotionally, and mentally. And it’s okay if you’re not sure how you want to be seen or if you feel a little nervous about stepping in front of the camera.
This carousel is for you, a gentle reminder that you don’t need to be perfect, have high expectations or have it all figured out.
You just need to show up as you. That’s where the beauty lives. Then togehter we’ll do the rest.
If you’re looking for a quiet way to connect with yourself during this time, I’ve created a free pregnancy journal you can download. It’s linked in my bio—or comment “journal” and I’ll send it your way.
Your story deserves to be held with care. 🤍

Did you know I’ve been working on a book?
Maybe if you’ve been following me for a while, you’ve seen me share a few bits here and there when I first started it. But I feel like I need to start again and give you the full picture.
I had a really hard time when I was breastfeeding my daughter. For a long time, I thought I was the only one who found it hard. The only one carrying that weight of doubt, guilt, and shame.
But I wasn’t. And neither are you.
At some point, I found myself asking: Why don’t we talk about breastfeeding honestly?
The challenges. The struggles. The pain. The real talk, you know?
This project was born from my own experience and from the stories of so many incredible women who shared their journeys with me. It’s about bringing more awareness, about making sure no mother feels alone in this, and about breaking the silence that so often leaves us blaming ourselves.
Because every journey is different. And every story deserves to be told.
Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing more about this project that means so much to me, the one I’ve truly put my heart into.
I’d love for you to follow along.

We live in a world where everything is fast, filtered, automated.
Where perfection is polished and every flaw can be edited away in just a click.
But what happens when we pause?
When we slow down…
When we really look?
Not just at the photos, but at ourselves.
This is where the true power of photography lives—not in capturing a perfect image, but in creating space for reflection, for presence, for seeing yourself as you really are.
No filters. No rush. No expectations.
Just you.
In the stillness, the truth becomes louder.
In the quiet, we see what was always there.
Because the answers we’re looking for, the confidence, the worthiness, the values, they’ve been inside us all along.
This is the beginning of Reflections Beyond the Frame. A space for honest conversations. For slowing down. For seeing yourself again.
When was the last time you truly paused to listen to yourself?

Did you know your newborn might cry, but without actual tear, for their first few weeks?
Even though they definitely make their voices heard (we know those cries well!), their tear ducts are still developing, so you might notice a lot of crying, but no real tears.
It’s completely normal and just another fascinating part of their early days.
Did you already know this? Or do you have another favourite newborn fact? Share it below, I’d love to hear it!

Model Call: Newborn Session Opportunity
I’m looking for a newborn baby (born after 14th April) to take part in a beautiful session during my 1:1 mentoring.
This is a lovely opportunity to have some precious photographs of your little one, capturing these fleeting early days while also helping me teach and share my approach with another photographer.
As a parent you will receive
a complimentary newborn session
5 beautiful images of your choice as a thank you
the chance to create beautiful memories of your baby’s first days
A few important notes:
both parents (mum and dad) must be available on the 30th of April to be present and included in the photos.
Model release is required, which means the images might be used on my website and social media as well as on the photographer’s platforms.
The session will take place at my cosy studio in Twickenham (SW London), designed to offer a calm and relaxed experience for you and your baby.
If you or someone you know has recently welcomed a little one and might be interested, please send me a DM or an email to vale@photographybyvalentina.com
I’d love to share more details with you!

As a small business owner, we’re told to show up, to be visible, to build a personal brand.
As small business owners, we’re told to show up, stay visible, and build our personal brand.
And on social media? It can feel like everyone else is always on: always networking, always glowing, always travelling, always achieving.
Perfect homes. Perfect outfits. Perfect nails.
Even rest has to look productive and aesthetic.
But here’s the truth I’m holding onto lately:
Not everything needs to be loud to be meaningful.
Sometimes, we need to go quiet to make space for what really matters.
I’ve been a little quieter here - not because I’ve disappeared, but because I’ve been working on something really special (my book is getting so close!!)...
And also giving myself the gift of slowing down and reconnecting with what matters most.
This is your gentle reminder that stepping back is still moving forward.
And you’re allowed to do the same.
