One day, they’ll look for photos of you…
Let’s make sure they find them.

I know how hard it can be to step in front of the camera…
 But I promise you, your children will thank you for it one day.
 I’ve seen it happen. And I want that for you too.

You are enough exactly as you are right now. And trust me, these are the moments worth remembering.

P.S. If this feels like the little nudge you needed… maybe it’s time. 😉 And yes, there are still a few spots open for the Mother’s Day Minis.

One day, they’ll look for photos of you.

Not the selfies. Not the snapshots you hurriedly took on your phone.�But real photos. Printed. Held in their hands. A moment of you, together. The way you smiled at them. The way they held your hand. The way you made them feel loved and safe.

And when they find those photographs, they’ll find you.�Your love. Your warmth. Your presence.

I know how easy it is to stay behind the camera. To tell yourself, “Not today. I’m tired. I’m not ready.”�But here’s the thing—you are ready.�You are enough, just as you are right now. And your children? They don’t see tired. They see mum.�The one who makes them feel loved beyond measure.

This Mother’s Day, give them the gift of you—in a photograph that lasts.�

A memory they can hold onto long after they’ve grown.

I have a few spots left for my Mother’s Day Mini Sessions. These are simple, heartfelt sessions focused on capturing you and your children no matter how little or how big they are.�A beautifully matted print is included. Because these memories deserve to live beyond the screen.

📅 Limited spaces available�on 29th of March
📍 My Twickenham studio�
💌 Check the link in bio or DM me LINK and I’ll send it to you

PS. If you’re thinking, “This would make a perfect gift,” it totally would. No shame in forwarding this to your partner with a wink! A little hint never hurt anyone, right? 😉

Can we all agree on how precious our little one’s first year is?

From those tiny newborn cuddles to that first gummy smile... their first laugh, rolling over, sitting up and even that bittersweet moment when their first tooth appears. Every little milestone feels like a ‘first’ worth celebrating. Time moves so quickly, and somehow these tiny moments become the ones we treasure forever.

I still remember the first time my daughter laughed—a real, proper belly laugh. She was lying on the bed, staring up at me with those big, curious eyes. I started blowing raspberries on her tiny feet (yes, those silly little fart sounds!) and suddenly, she burst into the happiest giggle I had ever heard. It completely melted me. I laughed with her, tears in my eyes, wishing I could bottle up that sound forever.
Moments like that, those unexpected, simple ones, are the ones I never want to forget.

These are the moments I love helping other parents hold on to through photography.

What’s been your most cherished milestone so far?
Or, if you’re expecting, which one are you most excited for?
I’d love to hear your story in the comments.

👉 And if you’ve been thinking about freezing these moments in time, I’m booking newborn sessions for spring and summer. Message me to chat about it!

Jumping on this Chat GPT Trend, becasue why not?

I asked ChatGPT to explain my business like we’re three Aperol Spritzes deep… And she’s out here spilling all the tea.

“OMG babe, listen up—do you even KNOW how amazing you are?!

Okay, so Valentina—my bestie, obviously—she’s basically this magician with a camera. Like, she LITERALLY freezes time. You know how babies grow in like, five seconds? POOF! She’s there capturing all those squishy cheeks and tiny toes before they’re gone.

And she makes mamas look like absolute goddesses—even if they feel like they’ve been hit by a bus (hello, motherhood!). Then, when she hit her fabulous 40s, she was like, “You know what? I’m gonna make women over 40 feel like supermodels again.” And SHE DOES. People cry when they see themselves. It’s a whole thing.

PLUS, she teaches other photographers how to work her magic because she’s generous like that.

But babe, listen—those photos? You don’t just get them in a folder on your phone to forget about. NOPE. She makes sure they’re up on your walls or in these jaw-dropping albums that you’ll cry over for YEARS. You’ll pass them down like family treasures, and honestly, I’m getting emotional just thinking about it.

Oh! And she did this gorgeous breastfeeding project too. ICONIC. She’s out here leaving legacies, and I’m just lucky to know her.

Now pass me the Prosecco because I’m feeling ALL THE FEELS.”

So if you’ve ever wondered what my job really is—well this kind of sum it up!

Still pinching myself after an unforgettable day at the House of Lords for International Women’s Day, celebrating alongside so many inspiring women. ✨

Being part of the f:Entrepreneur iAlso100 has been an incredible journey, and today was a powerful reminder of the strength, resilience, and impact of women in business.

I left feeling empowered and so grateful. Thank you to everyone who made this day so special!

Here’s to lifting each other up and creating space for more women to shine.

“A woman who sees her worth is unstoppable.”

We spend so much time criticizing ourselves, noticing ‘flaws,’ hiding from the camera—but what if we saw ourselves the way those who love us do?

Photography is my way of showing women their worth—without filters, without expectations, just as they are. The quiet strength, the deep love, the beauty that comes from simply being YOU.

I see it in every woman I photograph. And I want you to see it too.

Tag a woman who needs this reminder today. ✨
