During a newborn session, I always use white noise to keep the baby calm and every time parents ask me questions.

What is it? Why do you use it? Is it an app?

Your baby will be soothed and comforted by sounds that remind her of the rhythmic noises she heard in your womb. For 9 months your baby was in a very warm environment and she was hearing that noise that we call white noise. When you go to the hospital for your check and the midwives do the ultrasound, this is the type of noise you hear, right?

Well give it a chance! Try to use a white noise app to soothe your newborn, who know? It might works magic!

Many babies also enjoy the sound of a washing machine, hairdryer, vacuum cleaner or just some simple white noise. There are plenty of apps that make these kinds of sounds or just search for a free white noise video online.

Newborn soother, white noise can work.

When my daughter was a newborn, 6 years ago, there were no such apps, or at least we weren’t aware. We found that she enjoyed the street noise, cars passing by, rain . . .  So one night my husband went out and recorded those noise. Shame that a siren suddenly ruined everything 🙂 But recording was cut and was played  several times with loudspeakers! So find your baby’s favourite and give it go.

The sound of your heartbeat when you hold her close during skin-to-skin may also help to calm her and regulate her breathing.

I have a couple of app on my phone:

White Noise

newborn-soother-white-noise

Sound Sleepers

newborn-soother-white-noise

Do you already use a similar app? Do you think it works? Let me know in the comment.

Or if you prefer to have an actual white noise machine I would recommend these 2 you can buy from Amazon.

Today is World Mental Health Day, and I want to say this gently: you don’t have to have it all together to be worthy of care, love, or rest.

Motherhood, creativity, business. They all carry invisible weights sometimes.
It’s okay to set them down for a moment.
It’s okay to just be.

There’s real courage in that stillness.

PS. If this resonates, you might find comfort in my book Milk Tales. A collection of stories about the emotional side of motherhood, and the courage it takes to be honest about how we really feel.
If you need a soft space today, it’s waiting for you on Amazon.

Being brave doesn’t always mean being loud.

Sometimes, it means walking into a space where you’ll be truly seen,
even if your confidence is shaky,
even if your jeans don’t fit,
even if you almost cancelled.

That’s the kind of bravery I witness every day in my studio.

Women choosing to show up, not because they feel ready, but because they know it matters.

If that’s you too…

I’d be honoured to hold that space for you.

Empowering sessions for women, mothers, and those coming home to themselves.

Some clients book me once.
Others come back again: when baby is in their belly, and again when they’re in their arms.
Some return for baby milestones or second babies.

That’s the trust I never take for granted.

“Valentina is a credit to her work and what she does and also what she caters towards. I booked both the maternity & newborn photography with Valentina and the end result was amazing. She is so relaxed and professional. She is amazing with newborn babies and so gentle. I cannot recommend Vale enough.” - Chloe

From bump to baby, these are more than photo sessions.

They’re soft pauses in time.

Moments of connection, calm, and care.

Want to see what this could feel like for you?
