Meet Valentina: Your Maternity and Newborn Photographer

"Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, but today is a gift.

That's why it's called the present"

Hello, and welcome to my world of capturing beautiful moments.

My name is Valentina, and I'm more than just a London Maternity and Newborn Photographer; I'm your Partner in preserving the extraordinary journey of Motherhood.

MOTHERHOOD is a journey filled with ups and downs, joys and sorrows. It's a path that unveils your superpowers, and yes, you are a MUM now, with a remarkable strength that deserves to be celebrated every day.

 

For me, a photograph is more than just an image. It is a memory, a story, an emotion, a moment that would otherwise fade into the past. Capturing the most precious moments in YOUR family life is not just my profession; it's what fills my heart.

I believe in Love and Family.

Perhaps it's my Italian heritage, but I firmly believe in the power of love and family. That's why I adore working with families like yours when emotions are at their peak. It's why I'm so passionate about my work.

 

Through my lens, I seek out the beauty in REAL EMOTIONS: the enchantment of your expecting belly, the connection with your partner, the pure love as you gaze at your newborn, the pride in your growing family, and the simple joy of being with your baby. A baby that in just a few weeks won't fit in your arms in the same way.

Your Worries, My Expertise

I understand your worries - the fear that your baby won't sleep, the concern about accidents without nappies, or the toddler who won't sit still.

 

Please, let me shoulder those concerns for you. With over a decade of experience, I know how to soothe fussy babies, my studio is equipped for any little accidents, and I have a few tricks up my sleeve to engage even the most energetic of siblings.

 

And yes, I know the weight of self-consciousness you might carry, but being in these photos with your baby is a gift you're giving to your future self. In 20 or 30 years, these photos together will be priceless, and it's my mission to ensure you look and feel fabulous in them.

 

I PROMISE I will take good care of you all.

 

So, after feeding your baby, all you need to do is settle down with a cup of tea, sink into your favourite spot on the sofa, and relish this emotional experience.

 

I am a portrait photographer and I freeze the time for mums.

Allow me to do the same for you by capturing the most incredible photos of you and your baby.

 

Let's embark on this journey together and create lasting memories that will forever adorn your home and heart.

 

AWARDS

I'm a maternity and newborn photographer based in the vibrant heart of London, near charming Richmond.

 

With over 13 years of experience, I've honed my craft and collected accolades along this beautiful journey.

 

My photographic style is all about simplicity. I believe in capturing the pure essence of your little one without distractions or over-the-top props. It's about emotions, connections, and genuine moments that tell a story.

 

In my studio, we embrace white backdrops and minimal props to keep the focus where it matters most—on your beautiful newborn and the love that surrounds them.
