Celebrate Motherhood with a Mini Photoshoot.

Mother’s day is fast approaching and to help you celebrate I’m excited to invite you to experience a Motherhood Mini Photoshoot at my Southbourne natural light studio. These relaxed, intimate sessions are designed to capture the beautiful bond between mums, babies, and grandmas, all in a warm, welcoming environment.

Why Choose My Southbourne Studio?

My Southbourne studio is bathed in natural light, creating the perfect backdrop for your photos. Whether you’re a mum wanting to document the joy of your baby’s first year, a grandma sharing precious moments with your grandchildren, or expecting mums wanting to celebrate your pregnancy, my studio offers the ideal setting to capture those special memories.

Perfect for Mums, Mums-to-be & Grandmas.

If you’re a mum, these mini sessions are a wonderful way to freeze those moments as your little one grows. For grandmas, these sessions are perfect for capturing the loving connection you share with your grandchildren, preserving memories that will be cherished for years to come. And if you’re expecting, these photoshoots are a lovely way to celebrate your pregnancy journey and the anticipation of welcoming your new little one.

PLEASE NOTE:

Each mini session is limited to 1 family. No Dad’s allowed this time, but I actively encourage you to bring your Mum’s. This is a chance for Mother’s and Grandmother’s to get some lovely photos with their children.

If you would like to combine several families into one photoshoot, please book two (or more, depending on the number) consecutive slots. Bookings are non-refundable but can be transferred to another person if required.

Babies that are not yet sitting unaided must be photographed with a parent or older sibling. I’d recommend for babies to be sitting up confidently.

So around 6 months onwards

Any younger than this and the baby would need to sit on a parents lap.

There won’t be time for feeding or settling as the photoshoots are only 20 minutes.

These are not suitable for newborns as we won’t have time to do any posing and I won’t be using my posing beanbag

Of course, if you would like to ask me any questions about the shoot or the process please feel free to email me at: aby@abyrafter.co.uk

Do you see that perfect little swirl in his hair? Do you see that perfect little swirl in his hair? 🥺

As a newborn photographer, I live for these fleeting details - the ones parents remember forever. Will it stay, or gently fade as he grows? Either way, today, we capture it.

Christchurch Under One’s Club 🤍 It was so lo Christchurch Under One’s Club 🤍

It was so lovely to see some of the babies I photographed as newborns, and to meet more little ones at this new under one’s club in Little Treasures Stay and Play in Christchurch. 

If you are new mum in the BCP area I would highly recommend going along. It’s a chance to meet other mum’s, have coffee and a cake and @babymamanodrama_  is inviting along different guest speakers to each session. 

I hope to join again in a few weeks time. 

Would be lovely to see some of you there! 💛
