Dads, You Can Reach Out Too | In-Home & Outdoor Family Photography in Worcestershire
From before this little one arrived, all the way through to the session itself, I’d only ever chatted to dad.
And you know what? There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. In fact, it’s quietly one of the moments that reminds me how beautifully families can engage in capturing memories — even in ways that aren’t the norm. More often than not, it’s mamas who reach out first, plan everything, and carry the vision for their maternity, newborn, or family photography. And that’s absolutely wonderful. But dads — you’re more than welcome too.
“Dads, you can reach out, anytime.”
Why Dads Reaching Out Matters
So often, there’s an assumption that family photography is something handled by mamas. Mamas research photographers, plan outfits, organise schedules, and navigate toddlers or newborn routines. And while that dedication is invaluable, it doesn’t mean dads shouldn’t take the lead in creating memories too.
When a dad reaches out, it shows intention. Thoughtfulness. A recognition that these moments matter — not just for today, but for the years to come. It’s a reminder that capturing your family’s story isn’t a one-sided effort; it’s something that both parents can cherish and protect.
At theUNTOLDphoto, I see this beautifully in every session. I serve families across Worcestershire, Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Oxfordshire, The Cotswolds & beyond, capturing maternity, newborn, family, and milestone moments — in the comfort of your home or in the wild & free outdoors. My goal is to preserve the emotion, the connection, the little details that make your family unique.
Mamas, I See You Too
To all the mamas reading this: your heart, your vision, and your voice are always heard. Hand on heart, I don’t know any mama who wouldn’t treasure memories knowing they were planned and arranged with love.
I fully respect that everyone has their own vision for how memories should be captured. Some mamas prefer structured studio sessions with posed portraits — and that’s absolutely valid. If that’s what you’re looking for, I may not be the right photographer for you.
But if your heart longs for natural, heartfelt, emotive, and authentic storytelling — whether it’s in-home maternity, newborn, or family photography — then I absolutely could be the photographer for you. And if you enjoy conversations about hiking, running, swimming, dogs, and adventures, then I’m 100% your photographer.
What a Session with theUNTOLDphoto Looks Like
Whether in-home or outdoors, each session is designed around your family, your children, and your comfort:
In-home sessions capture your life as it truly is — the soft morning light in your living room, the tiny details of a newborn’s fingers or toes, the way your toddler interacts with a sibling or parent. You don’t need a perfect home; I photograph the beauty in your everyday environment.
Outdoor sessions bring freedom and space — the rolling hills of The Cotswolds, quiet woodland pockets in Herefordshire, open fields across Worcestershire. These sessions embrace natural light, seasonal beauty, and authentic movement.
For toddlers, I always follow their lead — allowing them to explore, laugh, and play while capturing genuine connections. For newborns, I work gently and patiently, accommodating feeds, comfort, and naps. Every session flows organically, without rushed poses or forced smiles.
How to Book
Planning a session with me is straightforward:
Reach Out: Dads, you can send the first message — mamas, your vision will guide the session.
Discuss Your Vision: We’ll chat about the style, timing, location, and whether an in-home or outdoor session suits your family best.
Schedule Your Session: Maternity sessions are ideally booked at 20–28 weeks, with sessions happening between 28–34 weeks. Newborn sessions are best within the first 2–3 weeks after birth.
Prepare Together: I provide guidance for toddlers, siblings, wardrobe choices, and comfort tips for newborns.
Every session is carefully timed to ensure a calm, relaxed experience, with focus fully on connection and storytelling.
The Moral of the Story
Dads — you absolutely can reach out. Gauge a few cues from mama if you like, but don’t hesitate. If we get to hang out, capture memories, and share stories, it’s always a joy.
Mamas — your heart, vision, and voice guide the session. You are always heard.
And sometimes, the small moments become the most memorable — like the flapjacks shared by a grandparent during a session. I can safely say I’d happily be reimbursed with flapjacks forever!
At theUNTOLDphoto, my sessions are for families who want genuine, emotive memories — in-home or wild & free outdoors. If that resonates with you, I’d love to help you tell your story.
