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.

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.

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.
