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.

She almost didn’t come.

She told me she wasn’t feeling confident.
That she didn’t know how to pose.
That maybe I should photograph someone else.

I hear this more than you’d think. From women who are more reserved and introvert but also the ones who are funny and so alive in person. Women who have simply spent too long seeing themselves in a fixed way.

We spent a morning together. Just her, the light, and a space where nothing needed to be fixed or hidden.

The woman in these photos? She was there all along.

If you’ve been telling yourself a similar story, I’d gently ask you this: what if you’re wrong too?

This is the part that gets me every time.

Seeing the images inside the album, in print, held in your hands, is completely different to seeing them on a screen.

They become real in a way a digital file never quite manages.

This little one will grow so fast.

But these pages will stay exactly as they are.

It never gets old.

Every time one of your albums arrives at my door it feels a little like Christmas morning. There is something about holding it for the first time, knowing what is inside, knowing what it meant to be in that room with you.

If I feel this way, I can only imagine what it feels like for you.

Follow along, the next reel shows what’s inside.

Every mum knows this feeling.

I know it too. I still remember the first time I held my daughter.
So tiny. So new.
And yet somehow, already familiar. Like I had always known her, in some place deeper than memory.

She is 14 now. And I would give anything to hold that small weight against my chest one more time.

This is why I do what I do.
Not just to make beautiful images. But to give you something to hold onto, long after those first days have passed.

There is something about photographing a woman at this stage of life. The way she holds herself. What she carries inside. All of the things that are about to change.

And then, months later, she sits with her album. And she remembers.

This is why I photograph maternity. Not just to document a bump, but to give you something you will reach for years from now.

Something your child will one day hold and say, look how beautiful you were.
Because you were.
You are.

If you are expecting and wondering whether to book a session, this is your sign.
