T&Cs

Studio Policies

  1. The payment of the session fee is required at booking to secure the date. It is non-refundable but transferable to another date should you cancel 48 hours before.
  2. The session does NOT include digital files or products unless the package states so. They can be purchased separately.
  3. Photography by Valentina reserves the copyright of the photographs and the right to use them in advertising, marketing pieces, competitions and reproduction.  All images are copyrighted by Photography by Valentina, even those you purchase.
  4. Copying, scanning or reproducing images is strictly prohibited. Print-screening images from this website is also against the law. Please DO NOT COPY or save photos from my Facebook page, website or other social media. If you order your files we will provide web-seized watermarked files of the photos. Please do not alterate the image.
  5. For product orders, full payment is due at the time of order.
  6. Gallery will stay live for 3 days within you have to make your order. The gallery can be activated again when expired with an admin fee of £25 that will allow the access for another 3 days.
  7. We will be in contact once the product has arrived. Products need to be collected from us. Additional charges may be payable for delivery your products.
  8. Album, frames, prints and all the products are not refundable. Orders cannot be cancelled for the custom nature of the products.
  9. If your child is sick please give me at least 24 hours notice and we will reschedule at no cost. I am aware emergencies can happen with babies. However, if there is no call,  50% of the session fee will not be refunded and an additional 50% needs to be paid for the next session. A delay of 30 minutes without a call is considered as no show.
  10. If you have or are having a boy, please DO NOT CIRCUMCISE your child before your session. We will be swaddling your baby tightly while he is naked, and moving him from one position to another constantly during the session. This is very painful for a child who has just been circumcised. We will NOT photograph a newborn who has been circumcised less than 6 days prior to the session.
  11. You agree to hold harmless, Valentina, her representatives, employees and Photography by Valentina LTD, from any dispute in the event you or your family become injured during your session or while on the studio premises. Photograface by Valentina LTD and its representatives will not be held liable for any injury to you, your children or your family members, or for any damage to your property during the photo session or while on studio premises.
  12. Prices are guaranteed for 30 days after your session, in case of a change in pricing.

By hiring Photography by Valentina you agree to these terms and conditions.

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.
