I’m testing a new newborn flow in the studio. Softer. Faster. Even more dreamy. Less stress for you, more magic in your hands.

So I’m opening 4 Newborn Studio Test Sessions over the next 14 days.

If you grab one of the spots, you’ll get a thank-you perk because you’re helping me build my next signature set:

✨Bonus 2 images (added to whichever collection you choose)

✨ Best suited for: babies around 5–21 days (if you’re outside that, still message me)
Important: booking fee paid today locks your spot.

✨ 4 spots only. I’m closing this tomorrow or when it fills.
DM BABY and I’ll send the next available times.

Not to be dramatic but newborn sessions really are gentle baby-whispering with a camera… because the photos are the easy part.

The real job is creating a space where your baby feels safe enough to soften.

That means I’m not just “taking pictures”. I’m watching for tiny cues the whole time:
• are they getting overstimulated
• are they hungry or just needing comfort
• are they too warm/cold
• do they need a break, a cuddle, a reset
• is this a “wrap first” baby or a “slow start” baby

And this is why mums leave saying, “That was way calmer than I expected.”
Because the session is paced around your baby’s rhythm, not a rigid plan.

Here’s what it looks like in real life:
• we move slowly
• we pause often
• we build in feeds and cuddles
• I settle, wrap, and guide everything
• and you don’t have to “perform” or stress about your baby “behaving”

Your baby doesn’t need to be sleepy, perfect, or cooperative.

They just need someone experienced leading it gently… and that’s literally my lane.

If you’ve been scared it’ll be stressful, save this. 🤍

I wish more women knew the difference between “pretty” and “editorial.”

Because “pretty” is when everything looks nice.
“Editorial” is when everything looks intentional.

Pretty is:
• a cute location
• a nice dress
• a few smiles
• hope for the best

Editorial is a system. And that’s why you need someone like me.

Here’s the difference:

1) Editorial has a story, not just a background

It’s not “beach maternity.”
It’s “this is the chapter where you carried life and looked like art doing it.”

2) Editorial is about shape + energy

Not “stand there and hold your bump.”
It’s posture, softness, strength, angles, breath, micro-movement.
The camera can literally see when you’re trying too hard.

3) Editorial is light discipline

Pretty light is whatever you get.
Editorial light is planned.
It’s so you look glowy, sculpted, and expensive, not squinty or flat.

4) Editorial is styling that behaves

Dress choice matters. Fabric matters. Wind matters.
Editorial looks effortless because it’s actually controlled.

5) Editorial is a pose flow

You’re never left wondering what to do.
It’s a sequence that creates variety fast without you feeling awkward.

6) Editorial has cohesion

Skin tones, colours, mood, and composition all match.
That’s why the gallery looks like a magazine spread, not a random camera roll.

So yes, you can take a pretty photo anywhere.

But if you want editorial maternity, the kind that makes you say
“wait… that’s actually me?”
you need someone who’s directing the whole thing, not just taking pictures.

Save this if you want your maternity photos to look like a Vogue-worthy chapter, not just a nice day out. 🤍

I heard you want these memories… but leaving the house feels impossible.

That makes sense. You’re not “dramatic”. You’re postpartum.
And postpartum is basically: feed, settle, survive, repeat… with a baby attached to your body like a tiny CEO.

So here’s the truth:

You don’t need to be organised to do this. You just need to show up.
And even that… I make stupidly easy.

Because the hardest part is not the session.
It’s the mental load of:
“What do I pack?”
“What if they cry?”
“What if I’m late?”
“What if I look awful?”
“What if I forget something?”

So I remove the decisions.

Here’s how we make it feel doable:

1) You get a simple checklist (not a 40-step plan)

Like… nappies, wipes, a dummy if you use one, a bottle if you use one. That’s it.
Everything else? I’ve got.

2) The session is paced for real newborn life

Feeds. Cuddles. Breaks. No rushing. No pressure.
We work around your baby, not against them.

3) You don’t need to “look ready”

You’re allowed to come as you are.
Tired, emotional, messy bun, whatever. You’ll still look like their mum and that’s the whole point.

4) Future you will be so grateful you pushed through that one hard day

Because once the newborn fog lifts, you’ll want proof you were in it.
Not just that baby was small… but that you held them when they were.

If the thought of leaving the house is what’s stopping you, you’re exactly who I built this for. 🤍

Save this for the day you almost cancel.

Not to be dramatic but you’re going to forget this version of them first… and it’s not because you don’t love them enough.

It’s because life moves like a thief in soft shoes.

One day you’ll suddenly realise you can’t remember:
• the exact weight of them in your arms
• that baby smell when you kiss the top of their head
• the little sounds they made before they could talk
• the way their fingers wrapped around yours like it was instinct
• the sleepy stretch, the milk-drunk sigh, the tiny expressions

And you’ll have photos… but they’ll mostly be:
your baby by themselves, taken quickly, in bad lighting, while you’re doing a million things.

What you won’t have enough of is you with them.
The way they looked at you. The way you held them. The way love actually lived in the room.

That’s why these photos matter.

Not because you need “perfect”.
Because you deserve proof.

Proof that you were there.
Proof that this was real.
Proof that you loved them in a way that changed your entire life.

So if you’ve been thinking “I’ll do it when I have more time”…
that time doesn’t really arrive.

But this version of them is here right now.

Save this. 🤍

If you’re scared it’ll be stressful, here’s the truth:

The stress usually comes from one thing: thinking your baby has to “behave”.
They don’t. They just have to be themselves.

Most parents are secretly imagining:
• baby screaming the whole time
• toddler chaos
• partner getting cranky
• you feeling flustered and embarrassed
• and leaving thinking “why did we do this?”

Totally normal fear. But it’s not how it goes when it’s done properly.

Here’s why it’s not stressful in my world:

1) We don’t rush

This isn’t a race. We build in time for feeds, cuddles, resets, and little breaks.
Your baby sets the pace. Always.

2) We expect “baby behaviour”

Wiggly? Great. Clingy? Fine. Shy? Normal. Teething? We adapt.
There’s no failing. There’s just guiding.

3) You’re not responsible for “making it work”

You don’t have to entertain, pose, or try to force smiles.
You just love on your baby. I take care of the rest.

4) The magic isn’t perfect

The photos you’ll love most are the real moments:
the squeeze, the giggle, the little grumpy face, the way they melt into you.

So if your fear is, “What if it’s chaos?”
My answer is: we’re prepared for chaos.
And we still make it beautiful.

If you’ve been putting it off because life feels like a lot…
this is your sign it doesn’t need to feel hard. 🤍
