I can’t believe November is here already! Along with cosy blankets, hot chocolate, and the anticipation of the festive season, it’s also a month filled with birthday celebrations. As someone who has both a brother and a cousin born in November, I know firsthand how special this time of year is for welcoming little ones into the world. The crisp air, falling leaves, and festive atmosphere create a magical backdrop for November babies, making their arrival truly memorable.

If you’re expecting a November baby, or if you’re celebrating one, you’re in for a treat!

Let’s explore some fascinating traits that make November babies truly unique!

1. Passionate and Intense (Scorpio Influence)

Babies born between November 1st and November 21st fall under the zodiac sign Scorpio. Known for their passion and intensity, Scorpios are deeply emotional and intuitive. November-born Scorpios often possess a strong will and are not afraid to pursue their desires. Their fierce loyalty to loved ones and their ability to empathise with others set them apart, making them compassionate and loving individuals. They are often seen as natural leaders who inspire those around them.

2. Adventurous and Optimistic (Sagittarius Influence)

For those born between November 22nd and November 30th, Sagittarius is their guiding zodiac sign. Sagittarians are known for their adventurous spirit and optimistic outlook on life. November babies with this influence tend to be curious and open-minded, always eager to explore new ideas and experiences. This adventurous nature often leads them to seek out opportunities and embrace change, making them adaptable and enthusiastic about life.

3. Birthstone: Topaz and Citrine

November babies are fortunate to have two beautiful birthstones: topaz and citrine. Topaz, with its rich hues ranging from golden yellow to deep blue, is a symbol of love and affection. It’s believed to bring strength and protection to those born in November. Citrine, on the other hand, is associated with joy, abundance, and positive energy. This vibrant gemstone is said to promote motivation and creativity, making it a wonderful symbol for November-born individuals. Together, these gemstones represent the warmth and vitality of autumn, enhancing the unique qualities of November babies.

4. Strong-willed and Determined

November babies often exhibit a remarkable sense of determination from an early age. Their strong personalities and resilience allow them to tackle challenges head-on. Whether they’re navigating through school or life’s obstacles, they tend to approach tasks with a focused mindset. This determination can inspire those around them and encourage their peers to strive for excellence.

5. Highly Creative

November babies are often gifted with a creative spark. Their imaginations run wild, leading them to explore various forms of artistic expression, whether it be through art, writing, or music. This creativity can be traced back to their strong emotional connections, allowing them to channel their feelings into unique and beautiful creations. As parents, you might find yourself amazed by the imaginative projects your little November-born brings to life.

6. Deeply Empathetic

Those born in November tend to possess a deep sense of empathy, making them incredibly understanding and compassionate individuals. This trait allows them to connect with others on a profound level and often leads to strong friendships and relationships throughout their lives. November babies are usually seen as confidants among their peers, providing support and understanding whenever it’s needed.

7. Lovers of the Outdoors

November babies are often drawn to the beauty of nature, especially during the fall months. With the colourful foliage and cooler temperatures, they tend to enjoy outdoor activities, whether it’s hiking, playing in the leaves, or simply enjoying the crisp autumn air. This connection to nature often fosters a sense of appreciation for the world around them and can lead to a lifelong love of outdoor adventures.

November babies are truly special, with a unique blend of traits that make them stand out. From their passion and creativity to their empathetic nature, they have a lot to offer the world.

You deserve to be in that memory!

Your kids don’t care about your hair, your arms, or the outfit you think isn’t flattering.

They care that you were there.

One day, long after that outfit is gone and the kids are grown... the photo of you hugging them will mean more than you can imagine.

So no,  you’re not getting out of the frame. 

And trust me, you’ll be glad you didn’t.
Some moments only happen once.

The quiet before baby arrives, the way you hold your bump without thinking, the way your partner holds you.

You don’t get this chapter back, but you can keep a piece of it, in your heart and on your walls.

Maternity photos aren’t about perfection, they’re about remembering how this season felt, the anticipation, the softness, the start of everything.

If you’re expecting and already feeling how quickly time is moving, I’d love to help you hold onto this part of your story. 🤍

I’m taking maternity bookings for 2026, and I have a some availability left for this year too.

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.
