“Hi Anya, we’d like to book a session with you,

but we’re not sure which one would be the best for us?”

Understandably, this is one of the most common questions I get asked. That’s why I created this blog post, to help you understand what kinds of sessions I offer and to shed some light on how they differ. I hope you will find this little guide informative and helpful. And as always if you have any questions you’d like me to address feel free to email me and I will be happy to anser them for you.

Mesmerizing Maternity Session

This is where the family begins…

Becoming a family is one of those moments in your life that you want to rememebr forever. And what’s the best way of storing your precious memories than creating a beautiful photoalbum – a forever keepsake, a story of your family’s journey.

It all starts with a maternity session. This session is all about capturing those elusive moments of carrying your precious baby under your heart.

It is about preserving the last intimate and meaningful moments of you two as a couple and celebrating your greatest achievement so far, your very own little baby, a living proof that love lasts.

But this beautiful session is also about capturing the beginning of the greatest adventure of your life – becoming a family.

Although those 9 months of your pregnancy seem like forever, mostly because you simply can’t wait to meet your beautiful baby, they do fly by, and before you know it they are long gone.

You won’t get to feel their first kicks ever again, and you won’t have another chance to stroke your bump, cuddled up one into another imagining what the future holds for you.

This is what maternity session will help you with. It will capture all of those special and unique moments in the way you wish to remember them.

Whether you want to create memories of meaningful intimate moments with your partner or you want to wear a beautiful maternity dress and feel like a queen – showing off your beautiful bump is absolutely up to you.

And it is up to me to make sure that they are crafted to perfection!

Breathaking Newborn Session

We are your parents and you are our whole life.

A newborn session is by far the most unique experience of your lives. Not only will I capture those first moments of your baby’s life and your first memories as a new family, but unlike any other session you will never have an opportunity to recreate them.

Babies grown and change so quickly and before you know it your baby is not a newborn any more. All of a sudden their feet aren’t so tiny any more and they don’t smile while sleeping and dreaming their happiest dreams, they don’t feet into your hands like they used to, and you start asking yourself, where has the time gone?

So if you want to capture those very first moments with your little bundle of love – now is the best time to do it and the newborn session is the best way to create memories that will last a lifetime.

A newborn session is all about your new baby. I will create a gallery of images showing off their gorgeous little  face, tiny feet and hands, beautiful milky skin, and those dreamy breathtaking poses, which will forever reming you of what an amazing gift they are.

But that’s not it! I will also capture your first moments as a new family, daddy’s first cuddles and mummy’s first kisses, and of course the joy and love that you share when you hold your baby and look each other in the eyes as if in disbelief that this is your future, and nothing else matters more than this moment in time.

I do understand that becoming new parents can be a bit overwhelming. Now you have a family to take care of and you might struggle to find time for anything else. This is why my goal is to guide you throughout this process, to be understanding, supportive and prepared, so that you don’t have to worry about anything. I provide everything you and your baby might need to ensure that your newborn session is one of the best experiences of your life.

Captivating Fine Art Family Session

There is so much to cherish in your growing family.

My fine art portrait sessions are simply mesmerising. I use all the skills and tools I have gained in the last 7 years of my career to create outstanding pieces of art.  My goal is not only to offer you the best quality products but also a five-star service.

I will offer you my advice on the perfect outfits for your family session, some of which I have in my studio for you to use, I will advise you on the best make-up, hairstyle, and accessories. I will guide you through the whole process so that you don’t have to worry about anything but getting excited about your photoshoot and enjoying this incredible day.

I take pride in using my knowledge of posing families to arrange you in a way that will enhance your personal attributes, shows you at your absolute best and portray a unique connection between all of you.

My family portraits stand out from others because I focus on capturing raw emotions instead of forced smiles, true connection via gentle and loving touch, and deep engaging gaze telling me more about the person in from of the camera than any expression could.

My goal is to create timeless one-of-a-kind family portraits, showing exceptional craftsmanship, a meticulous editing process and the eternal beauty of your family.

While working with families I create individual portraits of each of your children in a natural and stylish way showing their inner depth and beautiful souls, I will also pose them together in a way that will emphasise their true loving connection. Finally, I will photograph you as a family, majestic yet affectionate, classic and still timeless.

Simple and Beautiful Family Session

Because every family deserves to have memories

My family sessions are for those parents who treasure memories of their growing family. If you are fed up with someone always missing from your family photographs or not being able to print them in good quality, it’s time to use a professional.

Apart from my photography qualifications, I am also a former teacher, which helps me incredibly while working with children and especially young children. You do not have to worry about your children not cooperating, as I will be here offering my excellent communication skills.

I will create some lovely portraits of your family in a simple but beautiful way. I will photograph your children individually, I’ll take some lovely sibling photos as well as portraits of all of you together.

I will hand-edit your images in a simple classic style, and I will prepare them for printing should you choose to have them framed.

This simple family session allows you to capture your children’s growing characters and update them as often as you wish.
