The first of my Shades of Motherhood sessions with the lovely Alana & baby Alana from December 2023 — how have I not shared this special session yet?! A week into the newborn bubble and I felt so honoured to be allowed into Alana’s beautiful home to capture these moments. Despite the exhaustion, you can see how happy Alana is with her baby girl. This session just gives me all the cosy, winter vibes with that wintery light and baby snuggles by the Christmas tree.

One of my sweet past mother and child sessions f0r my Shades of Motherhood project.

I love documenting mothers through all seasons of their motherhood - those early newborn weeks being some of my most favourite. I had the privilege of documenting Nicola & Ava’s Shades of Motherhood session last summer when Nicola kindly made the drive to visit me whilst my car was broken. This beautiful babe turns one in April and getting to preserve this short season of motherhood was one of my absolute favourites!

Also, I’m super excited to say that two photos from this session were accepted by Photo Vogue last year! (Pinch me!)
