The Birth of Zoryan~Lymington, New Forest Birth Photography
Since becoming a mama myself photographing births is something I've always felt drawn to. While pregnant I couldn't stop looking at birth photography and it filled me with so much inspiration and even made me feel empowered seeing all the incredible mama's birthing their babies, what an incredibly sacred time in one's life and what a gift it is to be able to have memories from this day..
Maternity & Newborn Session~Juniper~ Bournemouth Motherhood Photographer
I cannot believe it has been over three months ago just a couple of days before the winter solstice ago that I got to meet little Juniper, what an incredibly special session it was and one that I will always remember. I had already had an incredibly inspiring maternity session with Beccy in the forest when she was 40 weeks + 2 days pregnant.
Photographing your newborn at home- A few tips for parents
So much of our world has changed due to the corona virus & currently it is no longer a possibility to hire a photographer to come and take your newborn photos but this shouldn't stop anyone from being able to capture those precious fleeting moments on their own so I thought I would create a little blog post to help parents do just that by sharing some basic tips.
Bournemouth Maternity Session~Emma~Bournemouth Motherhood Session
I love cosy indoor sessions and my time with this beautiful mama and her family was such a perfect way to spend a wet, grey & cold day.
New Forest Maternity Session~Michelle~New Forest Motherhood Photographer
I cannot believe that this was my last session before Corona Virus changed everything. It was a beautiful last session and hanging out with this lovely mama in the forest was the perfect start to the day.
Bournemouth Bump to Baby Session~Cherrie~Bournemouth Newborn Photographer
When I first met Cherrie and her family she was 40 weeks plus 6 days pregnant and so very much ready to meet the newest member of their beautiful family. I had a wonderful time photographing her with 19 month old daughter Ettie and soon to be big sister.
New Forest Motherhood Session~Honouring A Belly Birth | Ann Owen Photography
This feels like the beginning of reclaiming my body, after an emergency section and a planned one 18 months later. Both so different, one with traumatic and partial memories, the other gentle and considerate but still missing something. There is still a sense of disappointment in my own body for not being able to birth my babies as I'd hoped, creating a hole somewhere inside.
Milo & Maxwell~Twin Newborn Session~Lymington Newborn Photographer
I have always wanted to have the opportunity to photograph a twin newborn session and when Charlotte & her husband Rob invited me into their home to do just that I was overjoyed! This was also my first at-home newborn session since lockdown and words can't express how happy it felt to be back in this space.
Cora's first year | New Forest Photographer | Ann Owen Photography
I cannot believe one year has gone by since I first met sweet baby Cora. What a beautiful honour it has been to watch her grow up from a tiny newborn to a little girl over this past year.
Laura, Johnny, Ava & Amara~ Ann Owen New Forest Photographer
This grey day in August has me revisiting past galleries which I never got around to sharing. This session was with Laura and her three children, sessions where the kids can just play and have fun are my favourite kind of sessions and this one was exactly that.
Nathalie & Aidan~ Ann Owen New Forest Photographer
It is always such an incredible honour to be trusted to capture memories of the postpartum journey and it is one of my favourite spaces to be in. The moment I met Nathalie it felt like meeting up with an old friend. What an incredible woman she is. This was such a special session.
Cherrie's Maternity Session~ New Forest Photographer~ Ann Owen photography
This was such a special session to me because I've photographed Cherrie and her gorgeous family since she was pregnant with her second daughter, Cora, two years ago. Now they are about to become a family of five.
