1.2 Photography by Valentina | Newborn Photographer London

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.

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.
