Mothers
Mothers is our maternity and newborn offering — photographed as one continuous story.
It brings together two sessions — one during pregnancy (usually between 30–35 weeks), and one in the early weeks after your baby arrives. Held together as part of the same offering, these sessions allow space for continuity, ease, and a shared understanding built over time.
Based in Falmouth, Cornwall, we work with families who want a slower, more thoughtful approach to maternity and newborn photography — documenting this season with care, without pressure.
Maternity & Newborn Photography in Cornwall
Maternity
Our maternity sessions are about honouring the mother and her changing body.
They offer a pause — a moment to mark the journey before your baby arrives. A chance to be present with what your body is doing, and what it already knows how to do.
We approach this work with deep respect for the maternal body — its power, its strength, and the quiet beauty it holds. These sessions are not about posing or perfection, but about presence and acknowledgement.
Each maternity session begins slowly. We usually start with a cup of tea, and a conversation — often about birth and babies, or simply how this season is feeling for you. This time allows you to settle, to feel held, and to arrive in the space before we begin photographing.
Sessions take place indoors or outdoors, in spaces that feel calm, comfortable, and right for you, and unfold gently at their own pace.
Newborn
Newborn sessions are calm, unhurried, and usually take place in your home.
There is no pressure for your baby to sleep, feed, or settle in any particular way. If your baby needs feeding, holding, or time, we simply follow their lead. We meet you as you are.
Because these sessions take place at home, the photographs naturally take on a more documentary feel — shaped by real moments, small gestures, and the quiet rhythms of early family life.
Everything moves at your pace, with time to pause whenever needed.
Annie
All maternity and newborn photographs for Folkship are taken by Annie.
As a mother herself, Annie brings a grounded understanding of pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood. Her approach is calm, intuitive, and free from judgement, allowing families to feel safe and at ease.
How to Book
Mothers is designed to be booked during pregnancy, allowing both sessions to be planned with ease.
