Olivia Cowling

I first met Olivia and her beautiful family when they came to me for a newborn shoot with little Luca. Since then, I’ve honestly lost count of how many times I’ve had the joy of photographing them. From monthly meet-ups at Baby Massage and now Baby Yoga—both part of the wonderful local group Little Rosebuds, Parent and Wellbeing—I’ve had the privilege of watching Luca grow into the smiliest little boy.

These latest images from my Mother’s Day Mini Shoots are particularly special. The bond between Olivia and Luca shines through so naturally and powerfully. What I especially love is that Olivia isn’t looking at the camera in a single shot—and yet, the emotion, connection and tenderness are unmistakable.

For parents who shy away from the camera, let this reassure you: you don’t need to pose or even look my way. Just be in the moment with your child and the magic will happen. This collection proves it beautifully.

I have no doubt I’ll continue capturing Luca’s milestones in the years ahead. If you’ve been thinking about booking a family shoot or want some timeless images with your little one, this is your sign—send me that message. And if mini shoots are more your thing, get in touch and I’ll let you know when the next round is coming up. Just remember—they’re seasonal and only happen a few times a year!
