Motherhood Session~ Laura & Ava~ Lymington Family Photographer | Ann Owen Photography
When we are a mother to more than one child it can be so hard to find the time and space to give each of them some special one on one time and this is what this session was all about. It was all about capturing the love between Laura and her eldest, the one who made her a mother.
Featured In Juno Magazine | New Forest Photographer | Ann Owen Photography
I am so incredibly excited that a part of my MILK project has been featured in the Autumn issue of Juno Magazine. I feel it is important to honour and celebrate our journeys truthfully. By sharing our stories through words and images we empower ourselves and others. Natural Term Breastfeeding is something I am incredibly passionate about and wish to help normalise through my work.

Poole Motherhood Session~Jane & Astrid~ Poole Family Photography
This was such an incredible session and one that I will always hold close to my heart. As soon as I entered their home I felt myself be washed over with the most beautiful rays of love. I know how that may sound but it is absolutely true! Their love between each other was so palpable that it radiated outwards and bathed me in it too. I Am forever grateful for these two beautiful souls.
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.
New Forest Motherhood Session~Gill & Thomas~New Forest Family Photographer
I love observing the way that the beautiful tenderness unfolds in a mama's heart. When I first showed her some of the photos one of the first things she said was "I absolutely love the one of my scars, now, I never thought I would say that." That is what these intimate sessions are all about, they can be healing and an empowering experience.
