Why Newborn and Outdoor Photography Mean the World to Me

Photography has always been more than just a job for me – it is my way of telling stories, capturing fleeting moments, and preserving emotions that words could never fully express. Among all the different types of photography I do, two genres hold the closest place in my heart: newborn photography and outdoor fine art sessions. These are also the sessions that I most often submit to photography competitions, as they truly reflect who I am as an artist.

The Magic of Newborn Photography

There is something incredibly special about photographing a newborn baby. Those tiny fingers, delicate eyelashes, and the peaceful way they sleep – every detail feels like a miracle. A newborn session is not just about taking pictures; it is about freezing the very first days of life, creating memories that families will treasure forever.

When I enter newborn photographs into competitions, I choose images that tell a story beyond just how beautiful the baby is. I look for photographs that show connection, love, and the fragile yet powerful beginning of a new chapter. Every recognition I receive reminds me why I fell in love with newborn photography in the first place. If you wan to see more, click here.

Why I Love Outdoor Sessions

My other great passion is outdoor photography. I adore working with natural light, dramatic skies, and seasonal colours to create portraits that feel timeless and magical. My outdoor sessions often have a fine art, fairy-tale quality – bold, unique, and slightly dreamlike.

These sessions allow me to combine creativity with the beauty of nature, and they always inspire me to push artistic boundaries. When my outdoor photographs are recognised in competitions, it feels like a celebration not just of my work, but of the families who trusted me to capture their story against such stunning backdrops.

Recognition in Competitions

Over time, my work has been honoured in national and international photography competitions, including multiple Highly Commended awards from the SWPP and a first place in the Legacy Awards. While awards are never my main goal, they are a wonderful confirmation that the love and effort I pour into my sessions resonate with others, too.

A Heartfelt Thank You

Every award I receive belongs just as much to the families I photograph as it does to me. Without your trust, I would not have the chance to create the images that bring me so much joy. Whether it’s a sleepy newborn curled up in a cozy setup, or a family walking hand in hand through a field of flowers, your stories are what inspire me to keep creating – and keep sharing my work with the world.
