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.

I love using slow shutter speed to show what we feel, not just what we see.
The softness, the movement, the breath of a moment that refuses to sit still.

Not every photo needs to be sharp to be beautiful.
Sometimes blur tells the story better than anything else. 🤍

How do these make you feel? I’d love to know.

There’s a beauty in the in-between, before you meet your baby, while you’re still holding her safely beneath your heart.

This season slips by quietly. You think you’ll remember every kick, every turn, every whispered moment… but time softens the details faster than we expect.

My maternity sessions are about remembering, how it felt to be becoming her.

The woman your child will one day call “Mama.”🤍

If you’ve been meaning to book your maternity photos, this is your gentle reminder: my calendar fills a few weeks ahead, so now is the perfect time to secure your date, calmly, without rush.

For all December bookings, I’m gifting a fine-art matted print (worth £100), a small reminder of your strength, delivered with your artwork.

Reserve your maternity session this month, so you can remember yourself this way, before everything changes.

There are things we feel as mums that we never say out loud.

The little things we feel but never put into words, the hopes, the fears, the tiny memories that slip away faster than we expect.

One day our children will want to know our story too. The real one. The one written from the heart.

Letters to My Baby is a free space to keep those thoughts safe.

A little journal you can fill in whenever life slows down for a moment.

Something to treasure now and pass on later.

Comment Letters and I’ll send you the link to download it 🤍

Would you consider to write a letter to your little one?

Being behind the camera is my natural place and stepping in front of it always feels a little strange.

I often take self portraits, not just to see myself differently but to remind myself what you feel when it is your turn. The wobble, the overthinking, the instinct to hide. All of it.

But this portrait was taken by someone else, the incredible Charlie Gray @charliegraystudio. Trusting another person to photograph me and my story felt new and slightly uncomfortable, yet also freeing.

And it reminded me why I love what I do.

Because I understand how vulnerable it feels.
I know what it is to want to look like yourself and not a performance of yourself.
I know the tiny shift that happens when you finally relax and let yourself be seen.

Women deserve photos that feel honest, gentle, and true. Photos that show the person behind the roles and the noise.

If you have been thinking about stepping in front of the camera again, even after years, I hope this feels like a small sign. 🤍

Do you like being photographed, or do you absolutely avoid it? I am curious.

It’s so easy to slip into comparison, especially online.

But comparison steals the joy from your own journey.

Check in on others with kindness,
and check in on yourself with the same softness.

Wishing you a slow, nurturing weekend. 🤍
