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 empathize 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.

Celebrate Your November Baby

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.

As you prepare to welcome or celebrate your November baby, consider capturing their essence through newborn photography. Every stage of their journey, from those first sleepy days to their vibrant personalities, deserves to be celebrated and cherished forever.

Natalie and Sara aren’t just sisters-in-law, they’ve walked side by side through the early days of motherhood, holding space for each other’s struggles and joys.

This session was a reminder that we don’t have to do it alone. In motherhood, as in business. That when stories are shared, healing begins.

That sometimes, the most powerful thing we can offer… is simply to be there.

And that’s the heart of my book: sharing stories, truths and experiences that make us feel less alone.

If you’ve ever felt supported by another mum, tag them below. Let them know they mattered.

And if you’re curious to read more stories like this one… keep your eyes peeled for news about the book release coming very soon!

This photo? It’s actually two images merged into one.

The eye you see? Hers.

The reflection? 
A moment of feeding, held in her memory and now in this frame.

It’s not just editing. It’s storytelling.

Inspired by her journey. Created from emotion.

Because photography isn’t just about what you see, it’s about what you feel.

And this? This one feels like truth.
Working from a new spot because staring at the same screen in the same room wasn’t doing me any favours. 

Sometimes all it takes is a shift in perspective (and some cloud therapy)

Do you have a go-to place when your brain needs a reboot?

Drop your favourite focus spot in the comments: your garden? a café? kitchen table? I’m all ears.
Not my first time at the House of Lords… I know, I know. You’re probably thinking “Her again?!” 😅

But I promise, it never gets old.

Today was all about creativity (of course—hello, we’re talking about Adobe!), and how refreshing it is to chat with other small businesses in the creative world.

Huge thanks to the fab @adobeexpress team and @britainsmallbiz for putting together such a great course and for filling the room with so many lovely, inspiring people.

(And yes… I still take photos every single time I go!🙈) 

What’s your favourite ‘pinch me’ work moment so far?
It’s hot.

It’s Friday.

And I’m spending the day not relaxing in the sun, but sweating over who’s going to print my book because Amazon KDP just isn’t cutting it. 

I didn’t think this part would be so hard…

Finding someone to literally hold your story? Turns out, it’s an emotional commitment. 

If you’re also spending your Friday in a plot twist you didn’t ask for, know you’re not alone.

We’ll get there. Maybe slightly late. Maybe slightly sweaty. But we will. 💪

Curious to see how this all turns out?

Tap follow or drop a 🍹 if you’re with me on your own chaotic ride.
Before they were in your arms,
they were already in your heart.

That invisible bond, the quiet connection that grows long before you meet deserves to be remembered too.

This is what I love most about maternity photography: not just capturing how it looked,
but how it felt to carry love in your body 🤍

If this speaks to you, save it or send it to someone still waiting to meet their little one.
