Mother's Day mini photoshoot
mum, you are beautiful and you belong in the photos with your children
I bet you have thousands of photos of your children on your phone and barely make an appearance yourself, grant the odd selfie. Mums, we need to exist in photographs! When did you have a photo taken that you proudly displayed in your home?
Now, just imagine hanging one on the wall and you walking past it several times a day.
How many times will it make you smile? Or laugh? Lift you up? Remember the funny stage they were in? How many times will you look? How many times will you whisper to yourself ‘how much they have grown already!’?
Photographs give us and our children increased sense of belonging when we see ourselves in photos and one day they’ll be even more precious.
That is magic of family photography.

Sometimes I wish I could freeze a moment
These were only from last year and I actually can’t believe how much my kids changed even at their pre/teen years!
Hi! My name is Petra and I’m a family photographer and mum of 3
I get the desire to be lost in those adorable moments of your little (or big) people that keeps the memories alive. For me, family and motherhood photoshoot aren’t about the pictures of our children, it’s the memories of the people around them. I feel the digital age has made documenting our lives so much more accessible but for me, personally, it’s important to include ME in the family photos. For my kids to look back on too. How about you?

There are 2 locations for these mini sessions.
10th May on the beach in Thorpe bay
17th May in the fields near Lion Creek near Rochford
Exact meet up location will be shared with all clients when booked.
These are motherhood mini sessions so for all mothers/grandmothers/mothers-to-be and their little people. Only immediate family members in one photoshoot although I won’t oppose to 3 generations that includes grandmother/mother/grandchildren.
If it’s raining, we will simply re-schedule. We will make decision on the morning of your photoshoot. It is advisable to block the following two weeks in your diary for rescheduling (preferably the same time as your original booking).
Weather at this time of year may be unpredictable, some years are lovely and warm. I would recommend to dress for the weather, so everyone feels comfortable. It’s really important that you all feel happy.
If you need any specific styling ideas for your photoshoot, please don’t hesitate to message me.
A water and a snack for after your session.
A great way to make your photoshoot unique is to bring something personal to you, ie. a lovely throw that you all can be wrapped around with or sit on, your child‘s favourite toy, a sling if you like to carry your baby in.
Because these are time limited sessions, I wouldn’t advise to bring too many things/activities so we can focus on being present and having fun together.
Absolutely not! I welcome grown-up children with their mums as well, after all, they are still your children.
We may not have a tickle game going on, but if you’re after a lovely portrait, then don’t hesitate to book in!
Simply click on the (location) specific ‘Book mini session’ button on this page. You will be able to choose your date/time for you session and input your details. Your booking is secured once payment is made, which will be emailed to you. Please check your spam folder too! The session fee is non-refundable. In an event of bad weather, I will reschedule your session free of charge. If your child appears to be poorly, please let me know as soon as you can. I have left few slots available on other day to be able to offer another time for unpredictable circumstances.
A private online gallery secured by a password will be sent to you within 1 week after your session to choose your final images for edit. Editing process will commence after the order is paid in full (if additional images are purchased) and digital download will be available within 1-2 weeks from the date of order. Your print will be designed from images of your choice and a proof will be emailed before printing. Mounted print will be posted to your address or can be collected at convenient time from my home.
