MOMMY & ME PHOTO SHOOT EXPERIENCE with Paulina Duczman in Kettering, Northamptonshire
Mothers and children share an unspoken bond – a feeling of trust, comfort and unconditional love.
As a mother myself, I understand that bond all too well. I also understand how fleeting childhood seems – one moment your baby is sleeping soundly in your arms, the next – they’re grazing your shoulders or grabbing the tins on the top shelf that you can’t quite reach.
We try as hard as we can to capture as many of those precious moments as they grow, but mothers are often left behind the camera, taking quick snaps here and there.
But what if you could press pause, take a moment and enjoy uninterrupted time with just you and your little one, expertly captured to create beautiful, bespoke memories that you both will treasure forever?
Mommy & Me photography sessions are created as an experience you and your children can share, capturing breath-taking moments that you’ll never forget.
What is Mommy and Me photo session?
Picture a quiet, calm, atmosphere. An intimate, uninterrupted moment with just you and your little one. Laughing, cuddling, shutting out the outside world & enjoying rare and special time, all to yourselves.
Mommy & Me photoshoots capture those unspoken moments – a snapshot of the precious bond you both share.
I will work with you and your little one to create stunning, fine art inspired images that reflect elegance and warmth, within an exquisite setting.
Mommy & Me photoshoots are an experience unlike any other, crafting high quality memories that you both can look back on and enjoy for year and years to come.
Enjoy a special session experience together
Often, we as mothers are the ones taking the pictures. The rare occasions where we are included, images are often blurry, rushed or poor quality.Opportunities for our children and us to share new, unforgettable experiences can be rare. Every day life takes over – household chores, the school run, work. It’s easy to get lost in the hustle and bustle of life, and before we know it those opportunities become fewer and fewer.
Let me slow down the clock, and forever capture a brief moment in time that shows the incredible bond both mother and child share, while you make unique and unforgettable memories together.
You support your child through every stage of their lives – through tears and tantrums, highs and lows, scraped knees and sticky fingers. Being a mother is an unexplainable challenge. But with that, come uncountable rewards.
Your babies first smile, first laugh, first word. Their first day of school, college, university. But through it all, you remain an undivided source of comfort and love. Capturing that love between a mother and son, or mother and daughter with a Mommy & Me photoshoot is the perfect way to remind not only your child, but also yourself just how special of a mother you are.

What happens during a Mommy & Me session?
All of my sessions include a pre-session consultation, where we can discuss our vision for the photoshoot, and any specific ideas or requirements you may have.
We then discuss styling options, clothing ideas, accessories and choose a colour palette, with all these elements influencing the mood and tone of the portraits.
We will work together to create a session plan, so you are fully informed and know what to expect when you arrive for your photoshoot.
During the session, my priority is always you and your child’s comfort. As a professional photographer, I fully understand that not everyone feels naturally at home in front of the camera.
My many years of experience allow me gently guide you through the session, so both you and your little one are feeling confident, and looking your best, resulting in stunning, expressive images that expertly capture your unique and precious bond.
After the session is complete, I will select and carefully hand-edit the best images. After 2-3 approximately weeks, you will be invited back for your reveal appointment – your first opportunity to see your finished gallery.
If you are not able to attend an in-person viewing, an online reveal appointment will be arranged.
Are the Mommy & Me photoshoots only for babies/small children?
Even as a teenager, your child will always be your child. That’s why my Mommy & Me photoshoots are created to welcome you and your child, whatever age they may be.
My passion is to create unforgettable, stunning moments that capture the unique relationship between you and your son or daughter and I welcome all children of all ages – from babies and toddlers to teens.
Not just for Mother’s Day
Mommy & Me photoshoots can be arranged all year round, not just for Mother’s Day. Motherhood shouldn’t be defined by one day, so celebrate any occasion at any time of the year, with exquisite, meticulously shot portraits that serve as a constant reminder of an unforgettable experience, and a beautiful moment together.
