It is now very popular to document the very early days of a baby. Parents want to remember those little toes and fingers, the cute little nose, the beautiful chubby cheeks . . . and the priceless memory of holding that tiny baby and gently kissing him.

They do grow very quickly, really! And you only realise it when you are a parent

Newborn photography is a trend now.

So parents want those cute images, but most of the time they don’t know how a photo session works or what they can expect. On Photography by Valentina, I try to cover the basics, like when to book, where I take the photos, how long the session lasts, and what happens next. Then I normally have a chat on the phone or, most of the time, I meet my client before the session, usually when mum is still pregnant. This way I can explain what will happen, they can ask questions if they have any doubts and I can give them a beautiful little brochure with the information needed.

In this little booklet, you can learn why you should have beautiful professional photos of your baby. You will read a bit about the experience you have when you come to me: from finding a little breakfast and knowing it will be very warm in the room to relaxing and being assured your baby will be taken care of.  A few testimonials to learn what other parents experienced. The planning before, during and after the session.  And as you can see from the image above how you can display your beautiful images.

One of the best parts of my work is seeing the photos printed. I offer a range of photography products that I am proud of. Why would you invest in photography if then you don’t print and see them?

I love the albums, where you can go back at any time and review the story of your baby. I love seeing a wall of memories: a nursery or a living room with a big canvas or a frame! It will boost your child’s self-esteem so much while growing.

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.

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.

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.
