Because you know how fast time goes, and that they won't be babies forever... As a mother myself, I know this feeling too well! "The nights are long but the years are short" as they say. It's wonderful to be able to take so many photos and videos nowadays with cameras in our back pocket; the day you brought them home, the exciting yet extremely messy (and orange!) weaning journey, first birthdays, first steps, first words...

But, how many of those truly capture the authentic personality and raw love between you as a family? How many do you actually want to print? And, how many are candid (but not in the most flattering 'Pinterest' way!), double chin, greasy hair, trackies on... or worse still don't even have you in them! Probably most of them if you're anything like me...

 

Parenthood is the most important part of your life and you deserve to have the most important part of your life captured in the way that it feels; natural, beautiful, uncensored, emotional, full of love. Stay in the comfort of your own home, where you all feel most at ease and most yourselves. Spend a normal afternoon making lunch, playing and feeding, those everyday moments that are missed once they're gone. 

Or if you prefer let's go somewhere that reflects you; get out on a dog walk at golden hour through some beautiful countryside fields and breastfeed on a hay bale looking like an actual glowing goddess.

Whatever suits your family best make sure to get these precious moments captured and preserved in art before you're onto the next stage and they're gone forever.

 

No awkward posing, just you being a family and having fun together. Trust me, you won't regret it!Natural family Photographer Stourbridge Birmingham West Midlands
