LAURA SHAW
A love like no other. I learned this fast when my daughter was born. Overwhelming, powerful, protective yet really vulnerable love. No one sacrifices, worries, plans and cares for these babies like we do, yet we often go years with iPhone selfies being our only photos with our babies. After I was diagnosed with cancer I felt compelled to create these images to celebrate your relationship with your children. It’s the quickest, longest, hardest, best, most rewarding yet crazy thing there is and time goes too quick not to document their little hands grabbing your face, open mouth kisses, breastfeeding and the real moments between you and your babies.
I’ve decided to bring back Motherhood Mini Sessions because, like many of you, I’ve become more and more aware of how quickly children grow up. The years seem to fly by, and I know how precious and fleeting these moments can be. It’s easy to get caught up in the everyday hustle and forget how important it is to document these special stages of life. I’ve realised how much I cherish the memories captured from those early years. It’s such a joy to look back on them. Time truly slips away, and I don’t want anyone to miss the chance to have this time documented. I’ve also been getting so many requests from previous clients asking for these sessions again, so I’m excited to offer this opportunity once more.

The Motherhood Mini Sessions are 40-minute candid photography experiences designed to capture the beautiful bond between a mum and her little ones.
During the session, I’ll guide you and your children into natural, warm embraces, as well as playful, fun moments that truly reflect the love and connection you share.
It's all about creating a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere where I guide you, but most importantly, let the genuine interactions unfold.
This session focuses on capturing the real, wholesome moments that make your relationship unique, resulting in timeless, beautiful photographs that you’ll cherish forever.
