If you have followed me for a while, you’ll know that there are two major driving forces behind my photography...    Helping and encouraging Mums to exist in their family photographs…   …and supporting other local Mums in business.    We have so  many businesses here in Kent which are owned and run by incredible local Mums and I think that should be celebrated.    So, each month (or as close to that as I can get – this year has been a little hit and miss!) I have the absolute

Oh my goodness, it feels like aaaaggggeeesss  since I shared an amazing Kent Mum in Business with you all…   I always knew that an August feature was going to be a stretch…   …and this beautiful  Mum has been patiently waiting in the wings for her moment in the spotlight (which I am very grateful for) So, without further ado... This month I am delighted to introduce you to the amazing Sarah Smith - Kent Mum of Two and the proud owner of the Mini First Aid Mid Kent Franchise

I have to say that a photography session was the LAST thing on my mind after having a baby…Quite honestly, I felt as though I had been hit by a bus for quite some time.   But everywhere I looked, I read that if I didn’t book newborn photos within the first two weeks, I’d “miss the boat.” The Myth of the 7–10 Day Window In traditional studio newborn photography , many of the classic ‘posed’ images rely on babies being sleepy and curled up (which is why photographers often reco

I couldn’t get to the end of another month without introducing you to another one of our incredible Kent Mums in Business.   There really are so many wonderful businesses right on our doorstep which are owned and run by local Mums and you all know by now how happy it makes me to celebrate that (and them) This month, I want to introduce you to a very unique (and utterly adorable) business, owned by the wonderful Siobhan Sharp – Kent Mum of Two and the proud owner of Little Duc

As you'll know, from my many (many!) posts, stories and Claire Roads Ted-Talks (which you all adore 😉) one of the main driving forces behind my business is getting Mums in “the frame” with their little ones. We know we deserve to exist in our family photographs , stories and memories but the truth is, as Mums we are often the ones behind the camera… Why I Started Motherhood Sessions In previous years (as a way to help lovely Mummies) I offered limited Motherhood sessions eac

I’m not going to lie…   This will be the last Mum in Business feature for 2024 (because to say the end of December gets craaaaaaaazy would be an understatement!)    So, I’d love to end the year by introducing you to one final (and absolutely lovely) Mum in Business – Olivia Bailey.   Olivia is a Kent Mum-of-one; Registered Physiotherapist and the proud owner of Olivia Bailey Physiotherapy here in Maidstone. I recently spent a lovely morning with Olivia at her private clinic.

It’s that time again (yay!!) . Time for me to introduce you to another one of our amazing  Kent Mums in Business…. We really do have soooooo many fantastic businesses in the County which are owned and run by incredible local Mums… …and I think it is incredibly important to celebrate them and show them what a great job they are doing.   This month I have the pleasure of introducing you to Collette Lambert; Kent Mum of two, registered psychotherapist and the proud owner of Bear
