Embracing the Chaos | Natural Family & Newborn Photography in Worcestershire
Chaos might just be the most underrated part of your family photography session.
I know what you’re thinking: “I don’t want chaos. I want calm. I want cuddles. I want those beautiful, tender moments.”
And you will have them. I promise.
But here’s the truth… those quiet, tender moments rarely arrive without a little chaos first.
Why Chaos Is Actually Beautiful
Picture this: a mama longing for stillness, wrapped up in cuddles with her little ones… in this case, two wildly energetic twins powered by something far stronger than a Duracell battery. If I told her we’d start with calm and softness, I’d be lying.
Because children are full of energy. Full of personality. Full of themselves. And that energy? That chaos? It’s not something to tame. It’s something to honour.
theUNTOLDphoto specialises in in-home and outdoor family, maternity, and newborn photography across Worcestershire, Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Oxfordshire & The Cotswolds. My approach doesn’t try to control the chaos; instead, it captures it authentically because it’s part of your family’s story.
How Chaos Leads to Those Tender Moments
The magic happens when kids are allowed to be fully themselves. We let them:
Run and explore
Pull faces and be silly
Laugh, tumble, and play
Only after that energy is spent do the cuddle moments come, naturally, honestly, beautifully earned.
These fleeting scenes, a child resting against a parent, a twin wrapped in gentle arms, the quiet gaze of a newborn, are more powerful because of the chaos that came before. It’s real. It’s lived. It’s completely your family.
Years from now, you won’t just remember the calm moments. You’ll remember the chasing, the laughter, the noise, the energy. The chaos itself will become a treasured part of your memories.
Why I Capture Families This Way
Every session I photograph… whether it’s a newborn in-home session, a maternity shoot, or a wild & free outdoor family session, centres around connection, authenticity, and emotion.
I do not have a studio. I work:
In your home, where your children feel safe and free
Outdoors, letting toddlers and kids explore open fields, woodlands, and countryside in Worcestershire and beyond
My goal is to capture your family exactly as you are; the energy, the love, the chaos, the cuddles, and everything in between.
Tips for Families Before a Session
Embrace your child’s energy – Don’t fight it; plan for it.
Prepare your space or location – At home, a tidy corner or favourite room works best; outdoors, we’ll choose safe open areas.
Wardrobe – Soft, natural colours and textures keep the focus on connection.
Snacks & breaks – Especially for toddlers, a small snack or comfort toy helps the energy flow naturally.
Trust the photographer – Let me follow the rhythm of your family; the best moments happen when you stop trying to control everything.
What Families Can Expect During a Session
Observation first: I watch your family interact naturally.
Energy release: Kids run, explore, play — chaos is welcomed.
Connection captured: After the energy, quiet, tender moments emerge.
Details documented: Tiny fingers, little feet, and fleeting expressions are all captured naturally.
This approach ensures that your maternity, newborn, or family session reflects your true life, not an idealised version.
Embrace Your Family Exactly As You Are
The moral of the story is simple: embrace the chaos.
Embrace your children.
Embrace yourself.
Embrace your family in this fleeting season.
Because the chaos isn’t something to fear, it’s the prelude to the moments you adore. And one day, you’ll miss it just as much as you treasure the calm.
