While my home studio isn’t explicitly limited to mums or birthing parents, I’ve found that the best results come when only one parent is present during these sessions. If you’d like both parents included, I recommend booking a Shoot at Yours, which is more conducive to family dynamics.
This approach isn’t just about the studio’s intimate size but also about creating the best possible environment for your child. Many little ones can feel overstimulated or dysregulated when both parents and a photographer are present in a small, unfamiliar space. They may also cling to one parent or struggle to relax, which can make capturing natural, heartfelt moments more challenging.
When just one parent is present, the dynamic often shifts. Kids feel more grounded, and I can create a level of intimacy that allows me to document your unique connection authentically and beautifully.
(If we’re being brutally honest, many dads feel wildly uncomfortable in a home studio setting as well, and their discomfort can affect the overall energy and vibe of the shoot).
Thank you for your understanding! If you have any questions or would like to discuss which option suits your family best, I’d love to chat.
