BECAUSE YOU WERE THERE TOO

Hey Mum, I see you. 

Scrolling through your feed, pressing ‘love’ on all the photographs of your Mum friends with their little ones…

 

Leaving beautiful, supportive comments about how lovely they look and thinking how wonderful it is that they are getting in the frame with their babies.

 

…and as you scroll, you think about how much you would *love* to have photographs like that with your little one but it’s just not the right time.

Maybe you’ll have a session when life is a bit less crazy.

 

Maybe you’ll schedule something in when your little one starts sleeping a bit better and you look less ‘frazzled’.

 

Maybe you’ll wait a bit until (*insert name*) is a bit less boisterous and might behave a bit better.

…but what if you wait for all those things and they don’t come?

-------

Don't get me wrong.

 


I get it, and I have alllllllllll these feelings myself.

 

BUT I also believe that your Motherhood story is changing all the time and EVERY bit of it is amazing and worth documenting…

...and thats why I’ve created something extra special- just for you & the little pickles in your life...

Imagine this...

Maidstone Motherhood Photoshoot

You.

Your favourite little (or maybe, not-so-little) people.

…and all the ordinary, but-oh-so-beautiful things you do every day.

Captured by a Mum who truly sees how special these moments are.

Sounds WONDERFUL, doesn’t it?

Say hello to...

This Chapter of Us ... 


A SHORT-BUT-SWEET, BEAUTIFULLY HONEST & RELAXED IN-HOME STORYTELLING SESSION WHICH HONOURS *THIS* CURRENT SEASON OF YOUR MOTHERHOOD STORY.

These sessions are perfect for you if...

~ Your camera roll is FULL of beautiful photographs of your child(ren) with their Daddy, Grandparents, Cousins and Friends, but when you look for images that include you, you can count them on one hand...

 

~ You want to work with someone who gets it. Someone who understands what its like to avoid being in front of the camera but also knows how important it is.

 

~ You want a record of *this* season. This time. All the things that are happening right now before everything changes...

 

~ You want to do something for yourself (because you do deserve that) Something that shows that you were there too, and how much you loved and enjoyed your time together.

Don't just take my word for it...

Kind words...

 

"...I loved my Motherhood session. All of the photos are so beautiful and capture such sweet memories that we all do take for granted. 

I am so happy that I have photos of just me and M so we can both remember this precious time we have together.

But most importantly, just by looking at the photos you can see how strong our bond is and how much of a laugh we have every day!

My daughter is my best friend and I'm so happy I have photos showing this in our home.

Thank you so much Claire for being able to capture this for us..."

Hey, I'm Claire

When I am not photographing other beautiful families, you’ll find me with these cheeky pickles…

When my children were smaller there would be times when we would spend all day at home...

I would get to the end of those days and feel guilty.

Guilty that we hadn’t been out.

 

Guilty that I hadn’t done anything ‘exciting’ or ‘stimulating’ with them.

Guilty for feeling I had wasted an opportunity to spend a 'perfect’ day with them when I saw other Mums on social media who appeared to be doing it all…

 

…and that is why it is SO important to me that I am able to show Mums that…*these* days - these seemingly ordinary, non-eventful, days spent at home…

 

Are enough. In fact, they are more than enough.

 

They are bl**dy beautiful.

Because you know you deserve to...

In case you were wondering:
 

When should I book my session? 

Please get in touch to discuss your session and book a date and time for us to get together. Your session date will be confirmed in my calendar as soon as you have paid the £150 session fee. Please note that Motherhood sessions take place on weekdays only. They are not available at weekends. 

How long will my session be?

I will spend around 30 minutes with you but please be assured, the session will be completely child-led. We will take things as they come and be guided by your little one(s). If the children have had enough, it is totally fine. I will make sure you have enough time to tend to the needs of your family and still get a great gallery of images.
 

Can I include my Husband / Partner?

Motherhood sessions are for Mummies and their babies (however old their "babies" may be). A such, Husbands / Partners are not included in this type of session. If you would like to include the whole family, including your significant other, please contact me to discuss a full family session.
