Pregnancy and baby portraits

A bespoke text celebrating pregnancy, birth or adoption

Any new arrival, whether still anticipated or already present, can be such an exciting, joyful and demanding time. Days may already blur, but it’s worth making space for this: a Portraits in Prose commission, written with your words, celebrating your family or another you’re close to. Pregnancy journal. Photo book text. Framed baby gift. You decide. LGBTQ+ inclusive.

I might ask about your emotional journey through your pregnancy or adoption, how it feels to become a family and your hopes for your child or children.

We may involve just a child’s parent(s) as contributor(s) or other family members and close friends too – collecting a mix of perspectives on your family’s evolution.

500+ testimonials on this site, my Instagram page and Anniversary Collection illustrate just how rewarding this special creative approach can be for everyone involved, harnessing your words so they capture this moment in time.

‘We were amazed at how you crafted what we had told you into a witty, loving and ‘perfectly us’ narrative. The balance of the text was ‘just right’, with some tears, and much laughter. Most importantly, Freddie’s character really came through.’
Sarah + Alex

Our text might compare your experience as a parent before and after, perhaps complementing your account with sections addressed directly to your child – a treat to read together later.

Depending on the text length chosen, we could create the ultimate ‘how we came to be a family’ narrative, bespoke text to accompany your baby photo shoot pictures or a shorter version to frame in a child’s honour.

Reflecting on such a transformative point in your life would not only enhance the emotional well-being of all those involved, it would also create a tangible record for all to share.

This Portrait for new arrivals could appeal to any parent, parents or family, no matter their size, location or whether their loved ones live near or far – just contact me and we can discuss your ideas.
