What It’s Really Like to Have a Storytelling Photography Session with theUNTOLDphoto
When you begin searching for a family photographer in Worcestershire or a motherhood photographer in The Cotswolds, it’s usually because something inside you is stirring. A quiet knowing that this season, this version of your family, deserves to be remembered.
A session with theUNTOLDphoto isn’t about showing up polished or prepared. It’s about arriving exactly as you are.
I am an emotive, soul-rich storytelling photographer specialising in maternity, newborn, family, motherhood and milestone photography, serving Worcestershire, Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Oxfordshire and The Cotswolds. My work is rooted in connection, not performance.
From the very beginning, the experience is designed to feel grounding. Once you enquire, we slow things down. There’s space to talk, to share where you’re at emotionally, to decide whether an in-home session or outdoor session feels most aligned.
Before Your Session
Preparation is gentle. I don’t believe in rigid styling guides or Pinterest-perfect expectations. Instead, I help you choose clothing that feels like you — soft, comfortable, movement-friendly pieces that photograph beautifully without stealing attention from your connection.
For in-home sessions, your home does not need to be perfect. Lived-in spaces tell the richest stories. For outdoor sessions, I suggest locations across Worcestershire, Gloucestershire and The Cotswolds that feel open, calm and timeless.
During Your Session
There is no rush. No clock-watching. No asking children to “smile nicely”.
Children are free to move, explore, return to you when they need grounding. Babies are fed, rocked, soothed. Mothers instinctively soften. Fathers settle into quiet presence. These are the moments I observe — the way your child leans into your body, the way your hand rests on your bump without thinking, the way your newborn curls instinctively into your chest.
As a storytelling photographer, I guide lightly only when needed. Most of the time, I’m allowing your natural rhythms to unfold. I photograph what’s real — the tenderness, the chaos, the quiet beauty in between.
After Your Session
Your gallery is carefully curated to reflect your story honestly. These aren’t images designed for trends. They’re photographs that will feel just as meaningful in twenty years.
This experience isn’t about perfect photographs.
It’s about preserving how this season felt.
If you’ve been dreaming of capturing your family’s story in a way that feels natural and full of emotion, I’d love to hear from you.
