Mat Leave Minis

Memories of motherhood and your baby’s first year.

Not your typical mat leave activity

Who doesn’t love a baby group or a sensory class, but if you’re looking for something a little different and lasting, let’s go take some really beautiful pictures.

Better than the photos your partner takes

They don’t get the vibes, they don’t see the vision, and at a time where you’re postpartum and already feeling like a tired potato, they take a picture that somehow looks worse. I GOT YOU. Let me get you a cute pic.

Bring your mum friends!

Bring your mum friend and her baby too! Bring multiple! We will add a bit of time to your session and now you’ll BOTH have fab photos, get a wee discount, and eve get some photos together. WIN!

Pick a time & place, book and let’s go!

You can book a time slot instantly and select from a list of suggested places or opt for something else (within 20 miles of Kinross, for further travel please inquire).

How Does It Work?

1) Pick a slot and book for a chosen location (bespoke / home locations please reach out to me directly here)

2) I’ll be in touch with some tips and to say hi.

3) Get ready on the day, what a lovely excuse to pamper yourself, or come as you naturally would!

4) For each session I will block out 20-30 minutes shooting time (adding 10-20 minutes if additional mums are coming). There will also be a 30 min buffer for feeding, faffing, nappies and I’ll even watch your baby whilst you put some lipstick on if you want!

5)Enjoy the rest of your day whilst I go home and begin editing.

6) Receive your beautiful gallery of keepsake photos within 2 weeks.

FAQs

  • £95 for just mum & baby (or babies if you had multiple)

    £180 if you bring a mum friend with baby

    £270 if you bring 2 mums with babies

  • 1 parent and their child(ren) up to 12 months.

    The idea was to create something for mums to cherish of the first year of their baby’s life / mat leave at a more accessible price point. But of course dads are welcome to make use of this service too.

    I am happy for partners or others to come help with the baby before / after, but to please stay in the car or nearby cafe during the shoot.

    If you are looking for a family shoot or a shoot with your toddler, you can book my Family Keepsake Session. I only offer mini sessions for families on occasion when raising money for charity, not as a regular thing.

  • Yes, well behaved pets are welcome. Make sure dogs are walked beforehand to keep them more mellow and prevent them stealing too much of the little time we have together :)

  • No. This is a one parent only kind of mini, that’s the condition of the lower price. It is designed for maternity leave in mind as a mum/child or dad/child activity. You’re welcome to book my full family session though as I would absolutely love to capture your whole family :)

    Please note that ignoring this condition will result in a partial refund and refusal of service.

  • I know the feeling! As a mum of 2 that never ‘bounced back’ and just accepted the bigger size, I know it can do a number on your confidence.

    Everyone looks gorgeous in my photos, but mostly my suggestion would be to try on some lovely flowy clothes and get everything ready in advance so you’re not stressing on the day. Wear what makes you comfortable and it will shine through. I will also send you a wee getting ready guide ahead of the session.
