Aiyana’s First Family Photoshoot - Newborn Photographer Chester
Way back in 2020, during the chaos of zones and ever changing rules, two fab ladies got married. It was a very cold day in Oswestry, and one I’ll never forget. Tonie and Giorgia share a love of bikes, trips in a van they converted themselves, and not letting the grass grow under their feet. Giorgia is from Rome, and moved to the UK to be with Tonie permanently, so their lives together involve rather a lot of planning.
It was while Giorgia was pregnant that Tonie messaged me, asking if I could come and take some photos of their daughter when she finally arrived. So last summer I hopped in my car and popped down to theirs for a couple of hours. We had a super relaxed, documentary style newborn photoshoot in their home. They didn’t need to tidy, the dog didn’t need to be ushered away. Tonie and Giorgia’s home is small, but that didn’t matter at all. The light shone through the windows as T&G drank tea, laughed together and cuddled their gorgeous baby girl.
Tonie and Giorgia are fully aware of the way that I work and wanted an unposed, documentary approach to their newborn photoshoot just as with their wedding photos. To me, this is the best way to capture a sense of how it feels to celebrate a big life event, to capture the every day moments and details that change slowly, that are so normal to us that we don’t always see them.
