Maternity Photography Clapham – family in the park

I love maternity photography outdoors, especially when there is already a child. A maternity session in this case becomes more of a family photoshoot and it gets quite special.

Children are happier because they are free to run around and be themselves and mums are usually more relaxed as well. Yes, your child will not trash the whole place if that is something in the back of your mind!

With this lovely family, we went to Clapham Common as it was their local park. We had a little walk and stopped here and there for some photos.  As a London photographer, I go quite frequently in that park so I know what corners can work well or not. It all depends if there are other people around in which case I have to find some quiet alternatives.

A maternity session is not just about the bump. I mean maternity photography focuses mainly on capturing the beauty and joy of pregnancy. However, it’s also about relationships, family, and creating a legacy. It’s the making of a new story with a new little human.

Mum decided to go with vibrant colours and she coordinated her husband’s tie and daughter’s dress in that palette. I usually prefer natural, muted tones but I have to say that for an outdoor session, colours can work nicely too.

    I’ve never been a huge fan of Valentine’s Day - maybe because it’s also my name day (yes, in Italy that’s a thing!). But beyond that, I’ve always felt that love isn’t about just one day. It’s about all the little moments, the quiet gestures, and the everyday ways we show we care.

Love is precious, valuable, and worth celebrating every single day. When you have someone you truly cherish—whether a partner, a friend, or yourself—hold on to them tightly, through the big milestones and the quiet in-between moments.

So today, let’s celebrate love in all its forms. 

What’s one simple way you show love?

    This morning, I had the absolute pleasure of celebrating Galentine’s Day with the incredible women of @foundermums 

We took time to walk, talk, and connect - supporting each other as women, mums, and entrepreneurs. The morning ended with something truly special: a beautifully styled brunch, complete with stunning flowers and décor by @tipiangels and @fentonyardflowers, @shimmerandsoiree and delicious food and drinks provided by @stiritupmealkits and @bringthebabida.

And of course, I was honoured to capture the magic through my lens. It was a morning full of laughter, inspiration, and empowerment - just what Galentine’s is all about.

Here’s to the power of women supporting women! ✨

Sending love to all my fellow mums and friends today - how are you celebrating your own connections this month?

    Reading your kind words fills my heart with so much joy! 

One of my greatest hopes for every session is that it feels like more than just a photoshoot. I want it to be an experience you treasure - a memory in itself.

I understand how overwhelming life can feel sometimes, especially with little ones. That’s why I create a space where you can relax, slow down, and just be yourself. It’s your time to connect with your loved ones. And those little moments - your baby grabbing your finger or curling up perfectly in your arms - those are the memories I aim to capture. 
Because these fleeting days deserve to be celebrated and preserved forever.

Yesterday, I shared my love with a complimentary matted print offer for February bookings. 

Today, I’d love if you could share some love with me. If you’ve recently visited my studio or worked with me in the past year, I’d truly appreciate it if you left a review on Google. 

Your feedback means the world to me, and it helps my small business grow and reach more families like yours. Thank you for your continued support!

    Are you welcoming a new little one in 2025? Whether it’s your first baby or you're growing your family, announcing your pregnancy is such a special and magical moment! 

Here are some creative ways to share your exciting news with loved ones:

Tiny Shoes: line up your family's shoes and add a pair of baby booties to the lineup—a sweet, visual surprise.

Surprise in the Family Photo: plan a family photo session and subtly include a baby onesie or a little shoe. Watch their reactions when they notice!

Big Sibling Alert: if you have kids or a pet, let them take center stage. Use a sign or T-shirt that says, “Big Brother” or “Big Sister”

A Special Gift Box: surprise loved ones with a keepsake box that includes an ultrasound photo, a tiny onesie, and a card with your due date.

Video Highlights: put together a short video documenting moments like your positive test, an ultrasound, or your growing bump.

Which idea is your favourite?  Or, if you've already shared your big news, how did you announce it?
