Fatherhood is made up of small, everyday moments — a guiding hand, a gentle laugh, a quiet cuddle at the end of a big day. A Father’s Day photoshoot is a chance to honour those moments and preserve them in a way that feels real and meaningful.

There’s nothing quite like the bond between a mother and daughter — a connection filled with tenderness, laughter, and countless shared moments. In this guide, we’ll share ideas for both outdoor or at-home photo sessions, and simple tips to help you create timeless memories of your own.

It all begins with an idea.

At The Story of Us, we believe the most meaningful newborn photography is unhurried, natural, and deeply personal. Whether you’re curled up on the couch, lying beside your baby in bed, or sharing a quiet glance with your partner, we’re there to capture the honest magic of your growing family. These ideas work beautifully for in-home sessions, capturing your baby and family in your natural environment — snuggled, fed, cuddled, and loved.

The beach holds a special kind of magic, especially when you're celebrating the incredible journey into motherhood. There’s something about the open skies, soft sands, and gentle rhythms of the waves that mirrors the beauty, strength, and serenity of pregnancy.  In this post, we’re sharing some of our favourite maternity photo ideas we've taken by the ocean — moments filled with golden light, laughter, connection, and quiet reflection. We hope these ideas inspire your own story by the sea.

There’s something undeniably special about beach family photos. The ocean breeze, the golden light, the way little feet chase waves — it all comes together to create moments that feel effortless and full of heart. Whether you’re drawn to the simplicity of bare feet in the sand or the joy of seeing your kids play freely by the water, a beach session is more than just beautiful photos — it’s an experience your family will remember.

There’s a quiet kind of magic in baby photos — the way they freeze time, bottle up emotion, and hold onto the moments that pass too quickly. Whether you’ve just welcomed your first child or you’re adding to your growing tribe, capturing your baby’s early days is something you’ll never regret.
